Cost effective Design Software

Likeliness to Recommend

10 /10

What differentiates Creo from other similar products?

User friendly Software interface, can be easily customised with Windchill PLM. Easy mouse control as compared to other software. Easy 2D drawing preparation process as compared to Catia or other software. Bom table can be created automatically based on assembly parts. Taking reference from generated feature is best thing about CREO. Less space requirement as compared to others also good software speed.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

Favourite aspect is that it is most cost competitive software in the category of 3D design. Software is very good for assembly design, part design.

What do you dislike most about this product?

I do not like constraint application method, which is a littel bit confusing with respect to other software. Also we can not use top down and bottom up approach of assembly and preparation in this software. Editing part in assembly deisgn is typical and not that simple

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

I recommend this software where you have less cost budget and you need a 3D software which is effective in performance.
