    Well Suited Scenarios : 1. This is a cost estimation product that just needs the exposure of data, in fact, enriched data and after that, not just estimation, a well exhaustive set of insights and analytics can be fetched. Which in turn gives a heads-up to business. So EasyKost is well suited whenever any product needs price estimation and we don't have subject matter expert or industrial knowledge. So, in this case, it comes as the one solution for all problems.' 2. Not only for product cost estimation, this product is well suitable for the service, inventory etc estimation. Scenarios Where EasyKost is less suitable are: 1. EasyKost is an AI-enabled tool that can only work if we have a sufficient dataset to feed or else we can't control the situation within the accepted deviation and hence that can lead to a fiasco. So in such situation its good to go for subject matter expert or a knowledge expert rather than relying on any such software product

    I see FreeCad as the perfect solution for a startup with limited resources that want to save as much as possible and doesn't mind using non-standard 3D CAD software, i.e., it's not required by customers to use specific software for compatibility. It's perfect for hobbyist use and makers who don't care about brands and pay monthly fees. I see it as very well suited for small businesses that need FEA (finite element analysis) and can't/don't want to pay huge amounts of money for it, just like us. I see FreeCad as less appropriate for big corporations or well-established businesses that need standardized solutions, compatibility with clients or good version management. Don't get me wrong, it can get the job done, but it will be much slower than state-of-the-art CAD systems.

    • Overall, the UI feels very old and non-polished.
    • There are some quirky behaviors, like being unable to select a plane by having the cursor over it; it has to be over the edges of the plane.
    • It's overwhelming having those many modules and options for doing things that appear to be similar.

    Usability is awkward. Perhaps if you learn it as your first CAD, it will feel OK. Still, it comes from commercial CAD products like mine (Onshape, Solid Works, Inventor, Solid Edge). You will feel it is less intuitive, with a less polished UI, difficult to customize and, this is a subjective one, less serious. I'd love to see it improve the usability and UI. I believe the engine behind it is powerful, but how you interact with the software is still lacking.

    1. Easykost provides a better and reasonable costing with a very nominal deviation. 2. Very Less customization is required in EasyKost. 3. The best part is the algorithm implied, it's the best in performance and provides a predictive environment to work on. 4. Easier to use and handle. 5. Customer support is quite good, always just an email or just a ping away. 6. Easier to deploy and integrate.

    Freecad is used often when receiving files from multiple sources and the need to work with cad in various forms from meshes to solid cad. Often when receiving scans of 3d objects the format is easy to work with and convert to traditional cad later on. There is no other cad that can bridge the gap between all the cad formats that we found yet.
