Pipeline Mapping Software

I can't find anything that I dislike about this software. This software is a game changer compared to the traditional HECRAS. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

GeoHECRAS is helping our company model river reaches faster and more accurate. And the user-friendly interface makes it very easy to use. You can easily modify the reaches by drawing it and deleting. Overall, GeoHECRAS benefited our company by making us more productive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The main flaw for me is the lack of a complete manual in Italian and also the almost complete lack of tutorials and videos with which it would be possible to explore and learn more deeply all the potential of the new commands and also the less used old ones. Fortunately, the similarity to the main software allows the use of published material, albeit with some minor shortcomings. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Improve the workflow, data exchange, and setup from one file to another. Speed up the work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometime it feel heavy at times on older systems, startup and large files handling aren't always smooth. The interface also hasn't changed much, which is good for consistency but can feel out dated compared to newer design tools. So basically these are not a major issues.

Instead of guessing measurements aur re drawing from scratch I can relay on precise units reusable blocks and layers that keep everything organised. This saves time during revisions and reduces errors when sharing files with client or teammates. It's specially useful when designs go through multiple approvals cycles and need consistent updates.

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.

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.

What I dislike about Designcenter Solid Edge is that it can feel complex and overwhelming for new users, especially due to the large number of functions and settings. In some cases, performance can slow down with very large or complex assemblies, and customization or advanced features may require a steeper learning curve or additional training. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Designcenter Solid Edge solves the challenge of efficient and accurate product design in complex engineering environments. It streamlines 3D modeling, assembly management, and design changes, which reduces errors and rework. This benefits me by saving time, improving collaboration, and allowing faster iteration from concept to production while maintaining high technical quality. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

-A lock or read-only mode for supplied model elements would be helpful for regulatory workflows--especially when we only want to add or isolate certain features without changing the approved hydrology that is not impacted by the updates.

-Make calculation assumptions clearer and allow options. For example, when calculating TCs the hydraulic radius is assumed. However, some cities prefer velocities for channelized flow to be assumed. In the report feature include more detailed calculations so it is easier to implement in the submitted report. Or possibly allow an option to generate a well-structured TC and CN excel sheet that includes detailed calculations.

-For CN calcs include the basin name in the attribute table for the intermediate results shapefile. This way if we need to merge all of them together in GIS they still can be categorized by the basin

-Allow for several terrain layering for tcs etc. For example if we have multiple terrains and want one terrain read for part of the tc and a different one for a seperate portion.

-The report feature is very beneficial however i think AI could be implemented to help improve the context, structure, calculations, etc. This will help the user better incorporate the hydrology model and its parameters in their overall drainage report that is to be submitted.

-Allow better control of what component is being selected. Right now, if i have the HMS model on and add a cad file or other shapefiles i cannot select them while the hms model is on.

-In HEC-RAS there is a tool that allows the user to compare geometries and points out any differences. This would be beneficial in GeoHMS

-Before running the model if there are elements with no downstream connection add a pop up before running prompting the user to confirm before running. There have been times when working with large models that i have gone through several iterations and then find out that one junction is missing a connection.

OvOverall, GeoHECHMS significantly reduces time and increases efficiency by eliminating the need to use multiple software programs. The software's unique capabilities streamline processes, leading to substantial cost savings. One example, GeoHECHMS simplifies river routing by automatically creating and assigning 8-point cross sections to your reaches. Previously, this would require creating these sections in GIS or Civil 3D, manually assigning the points, and then inputting them into HECHMS for each reach. GeoHECHMS automates this entire process, saving both time and effort. 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.

Onshape mainly solves the problems of software installation, file management, and collaboration in CAD design. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One of the few limitations of the software, as with many similar programs, is the learning curve required to become familiar with all of its tools. This learning process is necessary, as certain parameters must be reviewed and validated by the user. Additionally, users need to be able to identify potential issues that may arise during H&H simulations, which can occur if steps are missed when entering surface characteristics and/or design storm data. However, CivilGEO provides a variety of video tutorials that help support the learning process and facilitate user proficiency. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

So far, I have not experienced any significant issues while using GeoSTORM. I have encountered a few minor inconveniences during certain simulations; however, these were not related to software errors but rather to the large size of the files being processed, which may require additional computation time. Additionally, CivilGEO’s technical support team regularly reaches out via email or phone to check for potential issues. While no major problems have arisen, it is reassuring to know that reliable technical support is available if assistance is needed. 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.
