Considered Both Products	Navisworks Verified User Engineer Chose Navisworks Navisworks allows viewing of our model content with others to know whether our design is correct and can be assembled for final stage. As compared to Bentley software, Navisworks is good in terms of asset management, reporting, and analysis. Its model viewing and navigation … Helpful? Verified User Engineer Chose Navisworks Navisworks is a master tool if we want to do any 3D model coordination with any trade of a building. It allows us to view our model content with all elements to visualize and understand for certain where our design stands in terms of accuracy and how all things can be assembled … Incentivized Helpful? JS Jenna Schonhoff Assistant Superintendent Chose Navisworks Navisworks does not have a mobile app or internal issue tracking but it integrates well with other apps. It's easier to navigate and run clash detection. The desktop program is more robust and offers more functionality. Incentivized Helpful? CR Chris Rippley Technical Project Engineer Chose Navisworks All of these products are pieces of the overall system. It is nice to have all of these portions all under the same main company. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Project Manager Chose Navisworks Navisworks is the go-to system for 3D BIM/MEP coordination. I don't know of many other options that are standardized/uniformly recognized as the base system in 3D coordination. Incentivized Helpful? christian Maxwell Project Engineer Chose Navisworks I have not used a lot of other software to compare Navisworks to but Revit is probably the closest to what Navisworks does. Revit is a lot more focused on the model creation and Navisworks is a bit more well equipped for reviewing and analyzing an already created model. Some of … Incentivized Helpful? Malhar Modi, LEED AP, CMIT Research Student Chose Navisworks It can integrate many different types of file formats of all types of design including architectural, structural, interior, MEP. It has good ability to make walk through videos and make it inclusion with the timeline. Clash detection is the main feature which sets it apart from … Incentivized Helpful? Lennart Andersson Director of Virtual Design & Construction, Senior Associate Vice President Chose Navisworks Revizto - no inherent clash detection but great clash detection reporting and issue tracking Synchro - 4D scheduling software that is much better than Navisworks in that space. Navis is the standard so no requrement to force new software on the project teams. Incentivized Helpful? RO Roelie Oelofse BIM Manager Chose Navisworks Our company only uses Autodesk software, so I could not find and alternative to Navisworks to match the functionality of Naviswork with Revit, Civil 3D and Plant 3D. The only alternative for us is to use BIM 360 Model Coordination which lacks the search and visual impact of … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Professional Chose Navisworks As described earlier, I really like that Navisworks is a desktop-run application rather than a web-based application. It runs smoothly and is relatively easy to use. Assemble's biggest negative is that because it's web-based, you often find yourself waiting for things to load. … Incentivized Helpful? William Cameron BIM Manager Chose Navisworks There is a few programs out there like Navisworks however it is truly one of a kind. Incentivized Helpful? Christian Bean MEP / BIM Designer Chose Navisworks BIM 360 Glue - Not as user-friendly and the fact that your orientation in the model resets every time you refresh your model drives me insane. I much prefer the Navisworks clash detection and file management. Incentivized Helpful? Aaron James BIM Manager Chose Navisworks I have not found any other programs that allow you to coordinate in the same fashion as Navisworks manage. Incentivized Helpful?

Likelihood to Recommend	Autodesk Navisworks is a key tool if doing any 3D model coordination with other trades. It will allow you to view your model content with others to know for certain that your design is accurate and can be assembled. Navisworks also comes with a lot of additional tools to make this process easy. Incentivized Aaron James BIM Manager Read full review
Pros	Autodesk Model Viewing, the navigation tools are really easy to use for walking through the model, especially if viewpoints are set up for key locations. The take-offs work really well and can be very quick and easy if the model was built right. Incentivized christian Maxwell Project Engineer Read full review
Cons	Autodesk Need more options for clash detection, e.g. clash between only the top and bottom faces of an element For applying different appearance profiles users need to remove previous sets first. Which is not good. They should just provide an ON/OFF button The use of Section planes are bit tricky for new users, they should add options like Revizto Vishal Ghuge BIM Dynamo Specialist Read full review
Support Rating	Autodesk Autodesk owns Navisworks, and it seems to have a pretty good support network. A lot of the troubleshooting or support information is provided through an online database, so you most likely would not be getting any personal attention with your issues. Since there are so many users for Navisworks, there is a lot of information on the web. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review

Return on Investment	Autodesk The software is very easy to use and quick to master, most users can navigate a building or model within a few short sessions, but there is enough depth to use it as a serious productive tool. The software cost of Navisworks Manage is a barrier to smaller companies, and has been a limitation on some of our projects that not all members could use the full functionality. However there is still enough functionality in even the free version to assist with smooth communication between team members. Incentivized RO Roelie Oelofse BIM Manager Read full review
