Overall Satisfaction with Revit

Revit is used as a service tool by my organization which provides mechanical engineering services to clients. Revit is a tool to create 3d model of HVAC model, plumbing model, architecture model and structural steel frame model. The above can be simulated in a real-time environment such as sunlight, construction site consideration etc

Pros

  • 3d space creativity
  • Economical
  • Issues are targeted before construction of any building

Cons

  • Some options of revit are stubborn which can be used for some limited application
  • Revit uses a lot of computer memory
  • To automatically backup your file with certain time interval
  • Revit license is valid for 4 years which is costly
  • At a time projects are not running on all versions of revit but still i paid fot 4 version of revit
  • Return on investment is good
Revit is a more creative tool compared to others software like AutoCAD. More people can work simultaneously on Revit files but in AutoCAD only 1 person can work on 1 file. File management of Revit is good whereas in AutoCAD multiple AutoCAD files are created for the same 1 project. At some accuracy, the equipment can be created in Revit

Do you think Revit delivers good value for the price?

Yes

Are you happy with Revit's feature set?

Yes

Did Revit live up to sales and marketing promises?

I wasn't involved with the selection/purchase process

Did implementation of Revit go as expected?

I wasn't involved with the implementation phase

Would you buy Revit again?

Yes

Revit is more user-friendly compared to other software it helped on projects where I need to switch between 2d space to 3d space, sections of elements or building can be viewed easily.
It is difficult to create 3d family or any equipment. Sometimes Revit decides whether the two entities will be connected or not as if in practical purpose the entities are connected.
