Interior Decorating Software

ZWCAD is a highly useful and cost-effective CAD software, though there are certain aspects that could use improvement. Its 3D capabilities are somewhat limited when compared to more advanced CAD programs, making it primarily suitable for 2D drafting tasks. Additionally, some of the advanced tools and plugins that are available in AutoCAD are not fully supported in ZWCAD.

At times, there may be minor compatibility issues, especially when working with very complex drawings or custom add-ons. Furthermore, the technical support and learning resources provided are not as comprehensive as those offered by larger CAD brands.

Despite these drawbacks, these limitations do not have a major impact on everyday 2D drafting work. Overall, ZWCAD continues to perform well and meets the needs of most professionals. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

ZWCAD addresses the challenge of high software expenses by delivering professional CAD capabilities at a more affordable cost. When compared to other CAD programs, it stands out for its robust 2D drafting features and complete DWG compatibility, all at a significantly reduced price.

In our office, we use nine licensed copies of ZWCAD, which enables our team to work efficiently without the burden of costly subscription fees. The interface is familiar, which shortens the learning curve, and its quick performance allows us to finish drawings both rapidly and accurately. Overall, ZWCAD enhances our productivity, reduces expenses, and facilitates seamless collaboration among our team members. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

When it comes to other CAD/BIM tools, there are particularities that apply to our case (development of industrial electrical/electronic equipment and systems). In certain cases, features such as automation for generating certain types of reports (cabling, bill of materials, among others) are more cumbersome in AutoCAD than in other platforms that are direct competitors. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Definitely the greatest added value/problem that AutoCAD solves for us is compatibility with much of the documentation sent to us from various clients, who rarely update their CAD/BIM platforms (if ever), and we receive this documentation in versions that are quite outdated. However, with compatibility management, we can still use this initial source of information and make the necessary updates according to client requirements. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

SketchUp is frustrating to me due to the fact that it limits a user when most projects become more sophisticated, especially in areas such as high-detail modeling or advanced rendering. If the file is heavy, performance will definitely decline and for the features that are considered to be very important like powerful rendering, advanced modeling tools, and better material management—most of them already be paid plugins or third-party extensions. The ease of use is a plus for newcomers to 3D modeling, but it can eventually turn out to be a constraint for projects that are meant for professional quality. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

SketchUp has the ability to rapidly transform the initial design concepts into precise, correlative 3D images, thus eliminating the need for proficiency in CAD or a complex process. It is a great tool for brainstorming ideas, experimenting with scales, and communicating designs to clients or partners in a much quicker manner than the traditional drafting process. Being very user-friendly, I am able to iterate fast, have several options and spot problems early in the design timeline. Thus, I can save time, minimize the number of times I have to do the same thing over again, and get from the idea stage to the presentation stage with very little resistance.

While Solid Edge is powerful, it can be overwhelming for new users. Some features are buried under layers of menus, and the learning curve is steep if you're not familiar with CAD tools. The tutorials and documentation could be more beginner-friendly to help ease the transition. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Solid Edge is solving several real-world challenges I face in product design and development. One major issue it addresses is the difficulty of making fast, accurate changes to models—especially when working under tight deadlines. Its synchronous technology allows me to edit designs without worrying about breaking the model history, which saves time and reduces rework.

It also helps with managing complex assemblies and ensuring design accuracy. The built-in simulation tools let me test performance and identify potential issues early, which improves product quality and reduces costly mistakes. Solid Edge’s ability to integrate with other tools and support multiple file formats makes collaboration with other departments much smoother.

Overall, it’s helping me work faster, reduce errors, and stay focused on innovation rather than troubleshooting technical limitations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There isn’t really anything I dislike about Onshape, except for one issue: it relies entirely on an internet connection. If your connection is slow or unstable, the software’s performance also suffers, which can be quite frustrating. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I dislike that you are not able to just purchase it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I do not have any problems. The program allows me to design freely. It helps allow me to figure out what is needed for various projects with our multiple companies. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

1. The app for macos which I use I find that it is really buggy I have had multiple hanging and software bugs

2. Unlike tools like onshape you can't easily changes the value of the extrusion (can edit it afterwards) for example from 5mm to 10mm

3. Really like the Web Version but... The problem arises as something online view bugs out + no matter how many times you refresh the page it stay the same (so you need to wait i thing 4 hours to be assign a new remote access to a different serve)

4. Glitchs causing the web version of the app to be smaller in size to the browser screen

5. Real time editing is non existent Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have been a new user about 1 year but I have seen multiple updates but none of which are significant Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Interface Speed: Large, complex diagrams can cause slight lag, especially in the web version. Desktop performance is stronger. Learning Curve for Advanced Features: While basic diagrams are easy, automation tools (like data linking or shape libraries) require some upfront learning. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Lower total cost of ownership: SmartDraw’s per-user cost is significantly less than Visio’s enterprise rate, especially when deployed at scale.

No dependency on additional Microsoft licensing: Users don’t need a separate Microsoft plan or Office add-on. SmartDraw runs as a standalone web or desktop app.

Concurrent usage model (for enterprise plans): Teams can share a smaller pool of licenses instead of purchasing one for every user, which dramatically reduces spend for departments with mixed usage patterns.

Built-in collaboration tools: Unlike Visio (which often requires SharePoint or Teams integration to collaborate), SmartDraw includes native sharing, commenting, and versioning — no extra infrastructure required.

Cross-platform access: Runs on any browser or OS without the need for a full Microsoft ecosystem, saving on IT management overhead and compatibility issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One aspect I find frustrating about Coohom is that some of its advanced features tend to load slowly or demand a reliable internet connection.
