So fun to work with co-workers using this digital tool. Its perfect for creative design teams, trying to visualize concepts together.

Slow, laggy and had the whole team frustrated enough that it was basically useless.

I don't like the way PDF documents render when not selected or activated.

We just abandoned those features and use with Teams.

Our professors don’t entirely know how to use all the buttons and can sometimes lead to lengthy expanses of time trouble shooting.

I love the UX design and how easy it is to access all spaces of the platform.

What amazed me about Bluescape when I first started using it was the ease of use when using the user interface, as well as moving around documents in the workspace.

Bluescape offers a service that nothing else does-- it's easy to navigate and allows our creative group to keep a clean file of what we've done.

Love reviewing creative marketing materials in this platform.

I love how my student teams can collaborate and develop their products/services and then their business plans to launch.

It's expensive and hard to get the proper technology that works with the touchscreens.

I also appreciate the real time collaboration features like voice, and video capabilities. This allowed for ease of use.

Students are initially cautious about any new tool. But, in no time they are working within their assigned team canvases.

I love using bluescape and would totally reccommend it to anyone. I think that it is a great way to stay organized on a single workspace.

The difficulty I would say is that at first I was struggle to use it but now I am more use to it. And the con is just whenever I try to zoom in and zoom out I always tend to lost my workplace.

Every time I use it my computer freezes, if I click wrong while writing then all of my text disappears, the navigation menu is confusing, and to go to a single bluescape board it opens like 3 tabs.

I would love Bluescape to save me a step and be able to break it out into separate pages for me. I am excited about the integration with zoom and adobe suite but have yet to try them out.

Inability to 'annotate' (draw over) in 'PRESENT' mode.

They often appear blurry and aliased. It makes them difficult to reference without taking snap shots of every section you're talking about.

Easy to operate and the smart grid function is great.

SOmetimes it lags too much and creatively things feel lost in the ether.

I love the ease of use and being able to collaborate with team members all over the country.

I love the collaboration aspect of it and it has a lot of functionality for working with teams. The tools that are provided, are very effective for showcasing  ideas and showing examples.

Easy to capture a lot of information in one place, lots of features, not very difficult to use.

We use this tool daily and it's been a huge differentiator in helping us to win business.

The inability to present presentations with animated gifs in the workspace and the webex integration hiccups we’ve run into.

Good to keep ideas organized and in a good flow, especially if things are not easy to accomplish, Bluescape helps in organizing the tasks.

Great way to share course content, love the visual ability to follow the flow of information. Good tools for making class notes that are then accessible to students the entire semester.

It has been an effective design tool along with providing efficient use of materials.

It is inexpensive overall and performs well with the cutting table we purchased.

It was semi easy, I had to have Autometrix walk me through some of the parts but after they did that I was good to go.

We're running and Autometrix table, and Patternsmith is the best tool that integrates seamlessly. When it works, it's very efficient.

Once you get accustomed to the workarounds and establish a workflow, custom work can be drawn up very quickly. Customer service is outstanding.

Mostly I like this software is for pattern nesting.

As a small business owner, my biggest complaint would be cost. However, I do get what I'm paying for.

The software was very easy to use and the technical support was amazing as well.

Very easy to learn how to use it,  a must for an inflatable industry because the plug ins it has.

Sometimes the duplicating features can be a bit wonky and constantly losing the unlock is inconvenient.

Can do edits to panels that automatically update in the nest. Perfect integration with our  Autometrix cutters.

Great Software pattern smith has allowed us to take a flattened pattern and make all the finishing touches, way less complicated than trying to do all of that in a cad program.

When we first got the Software we had a long lost Patternsmith 2005 book that came with it.

Works great, very intuitive. Incredible tech support.

This software is very simple and easy to use. Everyone in our design team caught on very quickly and became proficient within a couple of days.

Overall been a bit frustrated. I wish the software was more geared to apparel or could exchange with outside files.

Patternsmith is hit or miss on functioning normally most of the time to awkward GUI controls.

One key commands are nice. For running the cutting table this is a great program once you get used to its quirks.

Very Easy to Learn, and user friendly, the software support is very prompt and helpful.

The downtime due to the software losing it's registration/unlock info at inopportune times.

We have largely seen no benefit and frustrated the users who were accustomed to the earlier software.

I like that this software is easy to use. You don't need to know a lot about computers or software to effectively use it.
