Overall Satisfaction with Onshape
We use Onshape as our primary 3D CAD software. We do a bit of physical prototyping work for research purposes and Onshape's portability and ease of use allow us to make rapid prototypes no matter what device we are using. Our team was typically hypermobile, not usually behind a powerful desktop or laptop, so the ability to use almost any device, no matter the system specs, was fairly important to us.
Onshape's use of cloud based rendering fit the bill, allowing even old and aging devices to access the full power of the cloud. Files are automatically saved and synced, similar to Google Drive, and collaboration is easy between members.

- Great file versioning system
- Very easy to pick up and deploy
- Not the most rich feature set
- Interface may be a little clunky to some
- Allows us to stay mobile and get work done anywhere
- Cross compatible with lots of other software so saves time
- Fusion 360 and AutoCAD
We chose Onshape for its ease of use and ultimately its mobility. Our mobile team wanted to be able to do work anywhere with a solid internet connection, instead of having to rely on bulky and tethered desktop machines or high powered laptops. All of Autodesk's products, while super powerful, are also super power hungry and that just didn't fit in with our team's mindset and culture.
