The flexibility it gives me by being available on all devices without installation requirements. Ease of use and great features.
What do you dislike about the product?
It doesn't have all the features Solidworks has, but new ones are being added
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Being able to work remotely and on any computer I have available
A game changer in ways you didn't know it would
What do you like best about the product?
Everything in the one place. Simple to sign in and get going. Never crashes. Share your work.
What do you dislike about the product?
The UI is sometimes too lean and therefore things are a little bit hidden at first.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Bringing the whole department and stakeholders around the CAD table, to make it easier and faster to work together.
Productive
What do you like best about the product?
Real time online collaboration and easy BOM management
What do you dislike about the product?
Cannot be used if there's no internet connection
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I have a lot of submitted tickets and I cannot enumerate here one by one. But so far, the technical support is very responsive every time I have a support ticket
Fast and easy to use
What do you like best about the product?
Automatic saving and versioning. Multiple parts in one part studio. Continued and frequent updates. processing power over server.
What do you dislike about the product?
branching and versioning quite different from other CAD software.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
quickly create parts and have the linked parts flow throughout the full design. easy to visualise.
Exciting new take on CAD and PDM
What do you like best about the product?
I love the git control built into onshape.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't enjoy moving current drawing templates into onshape. It is a very cumbersome process.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It greatly improves collaboration which speed up design iterations.
I do everything fast and with a great PDM
What do you like best about the product?
I was using other CAD software with bugs, poor PDM but with a lot of tutorials and videos on YouTube
When I checked Onshape, it was amazing how fast I could do things and how well was all my files organized. Simple, fast to learn and very fast to do parts and assemblies. Since then I use only this software! And I recommend it to everyone!
Great support team

Great support team
What do you dislike about the product?
I cannot rename using F2 :)
Some small details can be made faster but they are ipan and listen all my requests ;)

Do my assemblies fast and reliable, no bugs
The Best CAD Program Out There
What do you like best about the product?
I’ve been using Onshape for over six years and have logged more than 2,000 hours in the platform—and it still impresses me. The interface is clean and intuitive, and the feature set is powerful enough to handle complex design work without feeling overwhelming.
What really sets Onshape apart is its collaborative workflow. Real-time sharing, version control, and branching make working with others seamless, whether you're in the same room or halfway around the world. One feature I especially appreciate is Follow Mode—being able to follow someone’s cursor as they work through a model makes collaboration and review incredibly efficient. It’s the next best thing to sitting side-by-side. As First Robotics Mentor, this feature allows me to follow my students' work in real-time and recognise where they are struggling to better support them on their way to becoming Onshape masters.

What do you dislike about the product?
While I love onshape, it is missing a few features that would be useful and keep me from using for every project. Two that come to mind are 3D sketching and surface tools like patching and scultping. Some projects I have encountered recently have required some surface editing. And having a tool that allows for dimension driven surface editing would be incredibly helpful. I edit lots of files from imports and I would love to use onshape for this but it is a noticable weakpoint. Many of the Loft feature that i use to generate surfaces from sketchs often break with the complex geometry I attemp to create with them. 3D sketches would also be incredibly helpful for bridging curves and completing complex surface boundaries. I would also like be able to add points in a part studio with out needing a sketch plane. Just a point that I can use to pattern parts, or connect lines to certain locations would be helpful.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Onshape gives me a very accessible studio for all of my projects that I never have to worry about saving or losing in files on my device. The cloud based network is crucial to my workflow.
So easy to learn compared to solidworks
What do you like best about the product?
It was very intuitive to learn and with no need to download an app it is more convenient.
What do you dislike about the product?
You do need an internet connection to use it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Affordable CAD package and allows sharing across team members
OnShape is Revolutionary
What do you like best about the product?
The file management that allows for version control and collaboration. A close second is the cloud processing so I can open large assemblies on any computer including my phone.
What do you dislike about the product?
The support for 2D drawings is limited and laggy.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It allows for easy file management and release of cad. It is also very easy to collaborate due to the repository focus.
