Overall Satisfaction with Onshape

Our organization uses Onshape for most of our 3D modeling needs, especially when collaboration is required. Many of our projects require large assemblies with different versions and Onshape makes PLM simple and easy.

Pros

  • File Management
  • Change Tracking
  • Collaboration

Cons

  • More powerful selection tools
  • Easier to find plugins
  • Less time spent on file management
  • Easier coordination between contributors
  • Faster time to review designs
I have seldom had to use Onshape's support team because Onshape is so intuitive, but they have been very supportive when I have reached out. Most of the time, the answers I got from the support team were answers I expected and sometimes the answer was that a desired feature wasn't available in Onshape.
Implementation of Onshape at our company was very simple. We did not require much support but Onshape representatives provided many resources for reference and reached out several times to check-in. Overall I was very satisfied with the process because it was fairly seamless.

Do you think Onshape delivers good value for the price?

Did Onshape live up to sales and marketing promises?

Yes

Did implementation of Onshape go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy Onshape again?

Yes

Onshape is incredibly well suited to situations where many individual contributors are working on a single project and revisions are made frequently. The built-in PLM aspect of Onshape, especially the versioning feature makes tracking changes incredibly easy. Onshape is less appropriate for any models where analysis will be required outside of just modeling, such as FEA analysis or simulation, which other programs offer. Onshape is great for fast, iterative, collaborative modeling.
