Autodesk Docs review
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
I am a budget executive in a construction company that builds housing projects. We procure all projects, including architectural, static, electrical and mechanical, from third-party experts. Projects and reports, mostly drawn in the AutoCAD environment, are shared with us through Autodesk Docs. Thanks to this program, the projects are constantly kept up to date and all relevant parties are involved in the process.
Pros
- It helps the design team carry out projects more efficiently by facilitating access to up-to-date documents
- It provides the opportunity to share, edit and collaborate on project documents in the cloud environment.
- It supports remote working and eliminates the need for employees to be together for the project or even be in the same city or country.
Cons
- It is a bit expensive for small construction companies or project offices, and it is more difficult to reach, especially for countries with high exchange rates such as Turkey.
- It cannot integrate with other non-Autodesk software we use within the company.
- Being dependent on the internet is a problem. Of course, I know that being cloudy requires internet, but it may be an advantage to at least keep the used files in its own memory for a while.
