PDM is the most powerful tool while using Solidworks, with seamless integration to most Microsoft products making it easy to utilise both in a working environment. This makes it the perfect software for our business for design and manufacturing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is very little to dislike about using Solidworks, it works seamlessly with Microsoft products within most businesses. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the way the software displays and allows you to manipulate assemblies. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don't like the sheet metal functions on solidworks as well as other modeling softwares. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Solidworks has a very intuitive interface for part and assembly design. It has power parametric modeling features that enable more advanced assembly/part support. The software also does a good job at exporting to various file types wether it is .STEP for CAD sharing or .STL for 3D printing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Solidworks is realtivly resource intensie and you need decent computer hardware to use it. Especially if you intend on doing large assemblies with complex parts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As a student, SOLIDWORKS has been a very valuable tool to use while learning CAD for product and industrial design. The ability to both solid model and surface model has allowed me to model many unique forms. I am also able to easily access my SOLIDWORKS files with Keyshot for rendering.

Often the error messages that SOLIDWORKS provides when it cannot complete a task are vague and not descriptive. If these errors could point out points of failure on models or provide more in-depth information it would be very helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The nicest thing about SolidWorks is that it's easy to convert complicated concepts into accurate 3D models thanks to its robust features and user-friendly interface. Some upsides are Simulation capabilities, customization, Wide industry use, and Detailed documentation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are only a few thin:gs firstly, costly licensing and Limited cloud integration. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Solid Works is best software in industry with great features like 3D modeling, Surface Modeling, Sheet Metals, Weldments and Drafting. Solid Works have simple and very user friendly interface. Easy to use with low licence cost that is very helpful for startup company and small scale industries Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Solid Works require high performance systems with good graphics card. Large assembly can take too much time for opening it self specially less powerful systems. And sometimes it's not responding while working on it.This can impact on production. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The best thing i like about the software is its simplicity like even beginners can learn easily and a connection between sketch and drafting and finally its Tool box . Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The downside of this software is its sadddenly crashes sometimes ,so all the work we have done before crashing will be lost. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Great user interface, fantastic mechanical/engineering based 3D modelling (instead of push/pull artistic based models like Blender). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have used Solidworks for 15 years - since I finished University.

In 2019, I paid 14 thousand dollars for a perpetual license for SW19. Upon my laptop failing - Customer service has been unable to assit in providing the serial number to install on my new computer. 14 k - gone.

I switched to Solidworks for Hobbiests and Markers.... AND MY GOD - WHAT A MESS>

Constant 5-6 GB updates - which will fail >75% of the time, then 4 to 5 minutes for the program to actually open, the constant crashing, failing to find their servers, wanting to save files on their cloud instead of my local computer.

The "3D Creater Home" is an un-navigatable nightmare that's more interested in teaching me how to model an "apple slicer" than it is in providing the support and platform I need to do the modelling. Pro tip, Solidworks - I can't model your apple slicer example if I can't open your program....

How about you focus on getting the basics right - and ignore the Learning, Collaboration, and Sample content - until your program can actually be used.

Unfortunately - after being a fan for 15 years - my advice now is to STEER CLEAR. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
