Pros

Allows our entire design team to share and review information graphically in one location (cloud-based).
Has the capability to fluidly interact with many other Autodesk software products.
Being able to use AutoCAD 360 on the iPad is a great feature without having to install the software.

Handles complex bid formats and bid submittal structures such as using bid alternates and non-tax bid schedules.
This software is one of the easiest programs to learn and effectively use.
This software is reasonably priced, but very powerful.
Project support is timely, intimate, local and professional.

Cons

It'd be nice to be able to use AutoCAD 360 to leave comments on peoples files, such as being able to annotate a certain part of it and mark it for review, so then its author can look at the note and make necessary changes.

They need to put a search bar in the item master list so you can easily find work items.
They could make the alternate package easier to use.
The should find a way to allow the user to define at least one cost type in the program.

This is so useful so we would like to keep renewing as Autocad 360 does. In fact we are very optimistic about the tools that come in every renewal because we will then have even more features available.

Alternatives Considered

Although there are lots of alternatives to AutoCAD mobile on the Google play store and the app store, many of these alternatives are not professionally developed and are associated with shady developers. So there might be a privacy or security risk with the usage these alternatives. However, DWG FastView is a worthy competing alternative.

Return on Investment

ROI is a bit low, because a lot of people are moving to Revit and BIM 360.
Not all consultants use CAD so it makes it hard for compatibility.
