Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I use Onshape every single day, and can't say enough great things about this product. I have clients all over the country/ world and Onshape makes collaborating and working with clients EASY. There is nothing for my clients to install, no phone calls from them to retrieve their files, and no stress or worry that if my computer crashes their files are safe. Onshape has to be by far the most incredible web application I have ever seen. I also really love the fact that I can steer people to learn Onshape for free. They have amazing tutorial videos and super great responsive support staff. I love Onshape!

Pros and Cons

CAD Solid Modelling
Importing and Exporting 3D models in almost any format

Public documents catalog needs updating
Motion study mechanics could be improved

Return on Investment

Onshape wows my customers when I show it to them for the first time.
I can't even imagine doing CAD with clients the old way now.

Support Rating

Very responsive support staff usually has workarounds for bugs, etc in less than an hour. The screenshot and annotation features when submitting a support ticket are very helpful in pinpointing exactly what the issue is quick, without wasting hours on hold or back and forths with support people.

Implementation Rating

No installing anything. Just runs perfectly in the web browser.
