Ability to create detailed drawings. > > **Cons**: Its ability to randomly crash. The mating scheme seems overly complicated after using OnShape for a few years. > > I’ve been using SolidWorks for over 20 years now and have kept up the subscription. I’d like to try out their web based version next. ----- ### "Best cad tool for designers" — 4.0/5 > **Kishore** | *19 March 2025* | Defense & Space | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: 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 > > **Cons**: The downside of this software is its sadddenly crashes sometimes ,so all the work we have done before crashing will be lost. > > As mechanical engineer i made products to defence sector, by using i can made faster 3d models and production drawings within the one software and so its reduces the time and also money ----- ### "Solidworks is solidly on the decline." — 1.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *5 July 2026* | Biotechnology | Recommendation rating: 2.0/10 > > **Pros**: Every year, every service pack, the software becomes less reliable, and they continue to charge you yearly for it. > > **Cons**: Frequent crashes—even on SolidWorks-certified hardware—have forced far too many support calls and lost files. Their certified hardware program and website data feel like a joke, and navigating the site as a paid licensee is a mess. > > After over 10 years of using SolidWorks and paying their expensive annual subscription, I've seen almost no meaningful innovation year over year. The software feels stuck in the classic Innovator's Dilemma—protecting its installed base and steadily raising prices while delivering minimal new value. If re-learning was not such a massive barrier, I would actively switch to a more progressive CAD platform that includes PDM for free. Maybe when they make the next release even worse -- more unreliable, or when I lose more files, I will make the switch. The VAR's play the Comcast/Mediacom games of continually gaming the yearly rate. ----- ### "Solidworks" — 5.0/5 > **Amine** | *28 January 2025* | Consumer Goods | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: It centralize a lot of tools for multiples tasks > > **Cons**: The 3D experience is terrible i've paid like for 2 years it's plugging with solidworks it has 0 efficiency only cloud problems > > Overall it's still correct because it fullfill my daily needs ----- ### "Great product if you're working with a SolidWorks Reseller (3DXperience)" — 5.0/5 > **Steven** | *6 March 2026* | Internet | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: Access to the Simulation in assembly is a must for our products. I liked the 3DExperience cloud PDM fonctionnalities that are now available in my package > > **Cons**: Without an integrator like (\[sensitive content hidden\]) it is hard to navigate in 3DExperience platform by your own. I strongly recommand to contact a VAR to help you during the installation > > Very good experience overall.
