Onshape offers a great product that is fit for beginners and seasoned CAD designers. The cloud nature of Onshape is a highlight for me, as it makes it easy to access across a broad range of devices. The customer support is also top-notch. > > **Cons**: Honestly I don't have a lot of cons to report. For what I use Onshape for (3D and 2D modeling for music hardware) it excels at. > > Overall, Onshape has been an excellent CAD experience. It strikes a strong balance between ease of use and robust functionality, making it suitable for both beginners and experienced CAD users. Its cloud-based platform is a major advantage, providing convenient access across a wide range of devices, while the quality of customer support further enhances the experience. I have very few criticisms, as Onshape consistently meets my needs for both 3D and 2D modeling, particularly for music hardware design. ----- ### "Senior Industrial Designer / Owner" — 5.0/5 > **Ben** | *August 6, 2026* | Design | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I value Onshape for its file management, allowing me to create and iterate quickly through versions without the hassle of saving work or losing track of progress. It also helps with live progress updates. The versions, versioning, and branching features stand out to me the most, as they support my rapid design iteration. Not having to save files and dealing with software that doesn't crash are significant advantages. The flexibility and collaboration capabilities are also key reasons why I switched to Onshape. The initial setup was very easy for the most part, even though there was a bit of a learning curve. Overall, it has been a good experience. > > **Cons**: Mating and context editing can be frustrating because parts move around unexpectedly, and I have to constantly update the context in the assembly. The mental model around context editing could benefit from tips and tricks pop-ups or other UI cues to help prevent unwanted parts and therefore reference movements. Versioning and branching can be confusing; the mental model, UI/UX, and training around versioning could be improved. Importing multibody parts or assemblies requires extra steps to prevent them from freely moving. I wish there was a way to easily make all parts rigid when importing. I have tried the "composite body" option, but it doesn't work well. Edge selection is also challenging sometimes as it prioritizes face selection rather than edge selection, making me zoom in and orient parts several times to select the edge. I'm not sure if this is a graphics issue with my display or an Onshape problem. Selecting other sketches while working in a new sketch is cumbersome; I have to exit the command (line circle etc.) to then go back and force the coincident reference a master sketch point, which feels like an extra unnecessary step. Rebuild times could improve. > > Overall this software is a no brainer, it allows for iterative product development across teams, allowing easy and effective collaboration. Onshape continues to update and improve week to week so any issue experienced can be fixed by the Onshape team on the fly. The Onshape team listens and responds well. I chose Onshape because its a software that continues to improve and reacts to users needs. ----- ### "Overall good product" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *July 31, 2026* | Consumer Goods | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Fast Customer Support, User Friendly, Consistently updating with new content, Allows for amazing design organization, Free public usage is a game changer. > > **Cons**: Customer support could be kept more up to date with changes and practice more as sometimes it feels we know more then the "experts" > > Overall very positive, I have recommended to many people. Has never failed me and is always able to get a task done without crashing like other brands ----- ### "Best Cloud Native CAD Experience" — 5.0/5 > **Brad** | *November 17, 2025* | Hospital & Health Care | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Fast implementation and cloud native. We are a company that exists in 2D CAD and our transition to 3D has been very straightforward. After a few weeks of training we can get any of our users up to speed and designing our products. We are now natively integrated with our ERP and our time to production ins monumentally faster. > > **Cons**: It's missing some features the larger CAD software has, such as a not robust plugin system. Most integrations require vast implementation costs compared to counterparts. > > Being able to hand a fresh CAD user Onshape and they can turn around and understand our product immediately has proven to be exactly what we needed to make our company move in the right direction ----- ### "welder/designer" — 5.0/5 > **Ruben Hofer** | *November 29, 2025* | Farming | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: it is simple to operate, the best part is I can log in from anywhere and look up a product and make changes as needed. > > **Cons**: I can't think of anything at this time\! > > it works really good for what we do in our business\! ----- Page: 1 / 16\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.ca/software/164681/onshape?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.ca/software/164681/onshape) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | | sv | | ----- ## Structured Data
