Also listed in Architectural Rendering
Revit is a truly amazing program for modeling construction projects. For users, it is very easy to use, and the integration is done really well by transferring the old CAD standards of companies to the new BIM technologies. The learning curve of the program is highly progressive due to the need to use it every day, which facilitates its implementation in companies that are starting to use it. The number of options available in this tool is very good, allowing us to model most of the disciplines involved in building construction without any problems.

ZWCAD is a powerful, reliable, and DWG-compatible CAD solution that enables you to boost design efficiency without switching cost.
Also listed in Civil Engineering Design
ZWCAD pleasantly surprised me. It is incredibly lightweight, quick to open files, and very easy to adapt to, especially for those who have used other CAD programs. The interface is intuitive and the transition was almost immediate, without the need to relearn everything from scratch. I am amazed at how ZWCAD manages to be far superior to Autodesk's CAD.

Also listed in Construction Project Management, Autodesk Construction Cloud Integration Partners, Punch List
Ease of use and a well-designed user interface make Revizto very accessible even for users who may not have a strong background in working with 3D models. The ability to customize issue tags is great, allowing predefined users to be automatically notified when issues are created. Revizto’s issue register is also incredibly helpful for tracking design coordination items.
Additionally, all teams can easily export/publish PDFs, ensuring we have a fully updated model and an up to date set of drawings. Integration with VR is seamless and helpful, and repositioning models as needed is straightforward. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Also listed in CAD Viewers, Product Data Management (PDM), 3D Printing, General-Purpose CAD, Product Lifecycle Management (PLM)
I’ve been using Onshape for over six years and have logged more than 2,000 hours in the platform—and it still impresses me. The interface is clean and intuitive, and the feature set is powerful enough to handle complex design work without feeling overwhelming.
What really sets Onshape apart is its collaborative workflow. Real-time sharing, version control, and branching make working with others seamless, whether you're in the same room or halfway around the world. One feature I especially appreciate is Follow Mode—being able to follow someone’s cursor as they work through a model makes collaboration and review incredibly efficient. It’s the next best thing to sitting side-by-side. As First Robotics Mentor, this feature allows me to follow my students' work in real-time and recognise where they are struggling to better support them on their way to becoming Onshape masters.

General CAD design
Prompt replies to enquiries, courteous and helpful replies and I think a general appreciation of customers in general.
I would praise Joe for his understanding and diligence during what was for me a difficult period following a complete system loss. Customer care for me is about solving issues in a constructive and friendly manner. Well done.
CMS software is very very good value and on a cost/licence/usablity basis it is excellent and if you can use Autocad it is a straight forward product to use and downloading and pruchasing the item is simple once you get it clear in your mind which model of whichever version of the software you are looking at and wish to buy.
The software is very easy to install and set up for your personal requirements. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The other people that I work with use SolidWorks which is way more than what I need. I was using AutoCAD every day to accomplish my 2D projects. The fact that it works with AutoCAD files is definitely a plus.
I myself have not had the need to contact Customer Service but others at my office have and expressed that it was a nice experience. They were treated like a person and things were explained so that they could understand.
It was easy to get started using DraftSight since it was similar to AutoCAD. This saves a lot of time from having to completely learn something new. The layout is simple and easy to use. With using DraftSight every day, it is really nice that it integrated with my current way I work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Also listed in Construction Estimating, Construction Project Management
I find Higharc to be most helpful due to its interactiveness, organization, and ease of use. The organization of Higharc makes it easier to learn as well as locate different settings/options. The usability of the entire interface also contributes to how interactive and organized the entire system is. Once I understood how the CDM and studio files worked it made things more simplified and quicker to design. Integrating between different studio files has also been very simple because of the loading time being so quick. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Altium Designer bridges all facets of the PCB design process to keep you seamlessly connected to every aspect of your design at all times.
Also listed in General-Purpose CAD
The MCAD CoDesigner functionality has been very useful for integrating PCB designs into our mechanical 3D models in AutoDesk Inventor, and was a big reason we moved to Altium. The 3D views are very useful within Altium and creating PCB footprints and adding existing STEP files available from many component manufacturers is easy. The OutJob functionality is useful in exporting files.
The Draftsman documents are very powerful and have saved a significant amount of time in creating and updating production documentation. The layout capability works very well with a lot of configurability.
The ActiveBOM functionality is useful is checking part status and availability and for rolling up BOM cost.
Overall, Altium was an enormous leap from Mentor Graphics PADS (which I used for the previous 15 years), although now there are a number of other alternatives, including at least one open-source alternative that also has impressive capability (I have not explored these in detail).
Electronic design (schematic capture and layout) only makes up 10% of my working hours according to my time logging (among mechanical design, project planning, as well as customer, sales, and production support), but I am quite productive in Altium compared to my previous workflow. If this was my primary job function, I would be even more comfortable in the software as it is certainly designed with the "power user" in mind, but there are many things I don't remember or haven't needed.
