KB MAx

Our highest rating. Service is really the strongpoint. We can get answers to questions quickly and KB Max shines in this area especially.

Pros

This is an excxellent tool for use in configuring different products for our company and for our customers. We have demonstrated it's effectiveness to many customers of ours and found it to be extremely helpful in designing both new products and updating older models. It is a geniune help to produce a complete package for our customers and we have seen an ROI several times over.

Cons

It was originally difficult to install as we had Microsoft "VISTA" on our computers. Through perserverance, KB Max was able to overcome the obstacles and get us a clean install.

KBMAX Review

I highly recommend this software, especially if your product line contains part families with multiple sizes or variations that require 3D and 2D documentation.

Pros

Can increase your production 1000%. If you have part families you want to model and document, KBMAX is a must do. We have seen a dramatic increase in the output of 2D drawings and 3D models. The software can also be adapted to many other areas besides engineering. We have only scratched the surface of what KBMAX can do. Customer support is very good.

Cons

Learning curve is a bit steep. No documented software or training manuals.

KB Max Review

I would recommend Citius to any company looking to step into the arena of knowledge based engineering.

Pros

KB Max is a great piece of software. It has allowed Everbrite to leverage vast gains in the reduction of Engineering times within the product categories that have been implemented. Kevin Bennett of Citius offers exceptional customer/consulting service and has a vast amount of knowledge to offer any implementation.

Cons

There are no drawbacks from what I've experienced thus far.

Implemeting KBMax

I do recommend KBMax Live, its ability to be customized and tailored exceeds other products we reviewed.

Pros

Overall the product is very customizable. And the staff is very helpful and knowledgeable. Being that KBMax Live is a cloud based web site makes it very convenient and the hands on design really lets you tailor to your needs.

Cons

Depending on your needs editing an assembly built with KBMax can be more challenging.

KBMax provided an innovative product configurator that wasn't available anywhere else.

I strongly recommend Citius. Kevin, Doug, and the whole team are expert at what they do and have proven themselves to be dedicated, valued partners.

Pros

Expert Software development skills. Expert Solidworks and PDM knowledge. Excellent understanding of design engineering and related concepts. We are able to speak directly to folks who can solve our problems. Excellent support.

Cons

I can't think of any.
