Archicad can be used quite well out-of the box. And getting into the basic workflow is quite easy and rewarding. The premade tools are created in a way that reflects the general architect's thinking which is nice and makes it possible to create some nice and visually pleasing documentations. It is also based on the openBIM workflows which is nice, especially the options to tweak the IFC models for export and import to exchange data with the other disciplines. It is amazing for small to mid-size projects. The teamwork workflow is easy to comprehend and to use even for larger teams. And since the BIMcloud Saas had its update, you can even invite external designers to collaborate on your project without much of the licensing hurdle. The GS forums are nicely maintained when you are looking for answers to the community or someone from GS would get to your question quite rapidly. Also, now the API is getting opened up and more and more external developers can get into the game to create useful plug-ins. This is still in its early stages but there are already some awesome tools to get even more out of this software.

The BIMcloud feature enables real-time collaboration on projects, whether teams are in the same office or distributed worldwide. Archicad offers a high level of customise workflows, layouts, and designs. Unlike some other software that struggles to balance 2D and 3D design processes, Archicad allows you to switch seamlessly between the two. Changes made in one view automatically update in others, saving time and reducing errors. Archicad underlay open standards for interoperability, making it easier to collaborate with consultants or teams using different software. Support for IFC, DWG, and Revit formats enhance data exchange.

It is the most and easiest software to use compare to other competitors I will list down the following.
