It works with a PC and a Mac and requires very little IT overhead to deploy and maintain. It literally took 3 hours to deploy to the company and have it at parity with Solidworks/Solidworks PDM. > > **Cons**: I wish that Onshape had more direct modeling tools. The ones that it have are on par with other parametric modeling software but I think it would be great if it had more tools like PTC's Creo Elements Direct Modeling. PTC owns both systems so I am hoping that Onshape can utilize some of the power of Creo Elements in the future. > > Overall, my experience with Onshape has been great. It has met or exceeded expectations. Onshape has come a long way in the last 5-7 years and it is a robust, professional tool. It is cost effective and easy to manage. Onshape's support is excellent. ----- ### "Reliable and Accessible CAD" — 5.0/5 > **Glendon** | *9 December 2025* | Machinery | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Natively cloud CAD means you can do design work in your browser. Completely platform agnostic and reliable, Onshape is very accessible to even low-power computers. Database documents mean that collaboration on models is very easy and allows for simultaneous viewing and editing. > > **Cons**: The drawings package is not native to Onshape, so its features are different from the rest of the platform. For example, it is very easy to collaborate on part and assembly tabs, but drawings only allow one user to have them open at the same time. This is a bit frustrating because drawings are the one feature most engineers need to collaborate on. > > We've been very pleased with Onshape because of its accessibility and reliability. Unlike some of its competitors, there is no initial "purchase" required, and the annual subscription is very competitive with other annual subscriptions. This means the value is realized immediately. ----- ### "up to date" — 5.0/5 > **Kalvis** | *3 December 2025* | Machinery | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Pace of development. Worflow, data organising, document structure, mates. Support, availability across users. > > **Cons**: Large assembly performance, I understand it is a difficult issue to manage, but still that is what can feel in day to day use. > > Have been daily user for 7years, more than happy with the dirrection and performance of this CAD solution, newer stops improving. ----- ### "Useful main-feature of Onshape: Collaboration" — 5.0/5 > **Bias** | *25 November 2025* | Machinery | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The Collaboration, make us very easy as a team to make 3d design together. The database that used for doing some part standard and materials library was so easy because of the collaboration feature. > > **Cons**: The version, looks very complicated and sometimes we are facing editing different version that it is old. So we have to recreate the progress > > I am very happy with the onshape experience. I would like to share this insight to my relations that this product is so useful for team designing. ----- ### "Best Data Management for CAD Data" — 5.0/5 > **Urs** | *18 November 2025* | Consumer Goods | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: File-less datamanagement with easy versioning. CAD design is mostly about managing geometric relations between many parts. There is no other CAD system in the world adressing this so well. It is a game-changer\! Customer Support works also very well with direct sharing of affected documents. > > **Cons**: The lack of floating license is a pitty. It does take some time to update drawings. Also releasing a group of assemblies, parts and drawings takes up quite an amount of time. > > It is very comfortable working with onshape. No worries about files, versions or saving your work. No check-in/check-out. Just focus on your design\! And never worry about loosing your work due crashes. Onshape never-ever crashed during all those years. Most of our users do not want to go back to the old CAD anymore. Administering Onshape is incredibly easy. Most things are pre-set decently. There is only little to adjust. Never worry about CAD Software updates anymore. ----- Page: 1 / 16\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.ae/software/164681/onshape?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.ae/software/164681/onshape) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | | sv | | ----- ## Structured Data
