Inventor software is a 3D CAD tool and the best part of this tool is to create sheetmetal part models perfectly. Also, this tool is very easy to use in comparison to other 3D platforms.

Has a great deal of value in using all inventor products. The PLM system integrated with engineer works great.

Inventor is very easy and user friendly software.

Inventor is the best suited drafting and design tool for high detail civil and mechanical drawings. It can produce fine data with high accuracy.

I have had a really good learning experience. I designed the parts for my thesis project using inventor, and  it was a lot of fun.

The 3D view is also really nice. The graphics are very nice as well and make it a complete design tool.

The price, for education, is great. Also, I am very impressed with the user interface and the ease of use.

Ease of use and Vault integration. Makes file management easy.

Like many other newer Autocad softwares, the amount of options is a curse since it gets really confusing an overwhelmed with the complex options for a starter.

Premade projects are difficult to introduce to beginner students. Having to send all part files with assembly makes sharing assemblies between teacher and students very difficult.

I wish I got to use this more. I am a big fan and supporter of AutoDesk products in general.

Inventor is a perfect tool for mechanical drawings as well as 3D mechanical models. Document production is  a very important ability of Invetor.

Due to that we can get better outcome  by using this software. Inventor has very friendly and smooth 3D interface as well.

This software was a good alternative to access the modeling of peices in three dimensions, due to its more economical license and the high level of tools and quality of its final products.

So if you insert 100 Identical components, it’s gonna take you forever to constrain them in your assembly. Also there is no assembly mirror that associative.

Really great as the designers have the great experience using this and create the ideas into 3D models and drawings.

The subscription-based price model and great customer support. Much better than Solidworks in this regard.

Easy, powerful, accurate, fun. Just a bit pricey... oh, and you have to run it on windows.

Inventor is very good at turning a part file into both assembiles and working drawings. The images it makes is just as good as anything you would find in IKEA assembly instructions.

I generally have a great time with Inventor. I like how handy it is and how convinient most of the functions were arranged and easy to find.

Another advantage is its easy integration with other Autodesk software, which enables smooth collaboration and data exchange between different programs.

It is a program of very good benefits when developing 3D animations, being one of the most known and used by the community of 3D designers.

The annual subscription is a good value for the money.

I liked most the intricate features and being able to create any part I needed, and then being able to 3D print the product.

Strong references, good support, lots of function, strong APIs and add ons.

It's a robust, comprehensive solution from a well-known and established supplier. They have great support and help for customization.

If you are  a big organization with multi location or multiple processes then this one is for you. But we careful of taking the cost and training requirement before proceeding.

All information (purchase requisition status, procurement status,financial information etc.) are easy accessible to the Project Manager and hence helps in expediting the projects.

I do not have anything that I disliked about this software, it was everything that it promised and more.

You can find a lot of information in the web and that it makes it easy to learn the basics.

Hard to customize and expensive high investment (human resources and money). Requires high skillful staffs to operate.

It has some features that can help companies to manage their costs, sales and so on. Besides that, the support is good and try to attend our expectation.

Overall It's been a good experience and you always keep learning more things about the software.

The best feature you cannot delete the entries once made in the system and hence it has a perfect audit log.

This software has been very helpful in transacting financial transactions. Highly recommended system.

Really useful tools with a reasonable cost for a start-up business.

It's expensive and difficult to alter. Makes changing business needs difficult to quickly adapt to.

It also has limited integration possibilities with non-SAP systems.

Transaction processing capabilities are the best in the industry with integration across the supply chain from order to cash.

I cannot say enough about the horrible experiences this has brought upon our company. We are a worldwide company and had used the older SAP for years.

Take functionality as well as user-friendliness into consideration. It's important for a powerful tool to be easy to use as well.

It is one of the best software If you can control the user training and inputs in the system. The reports generated by system were reasonable and perfect for our auditors.

Also there is a strong community that can help you find answers. Also i like that is very logical and robust, so this facilitates queries from others sources to get data from SAP Tables.

The SAP is the best platform for medium or high scale industry for specific data separation and evaluation. We can manage the data entry from one to another place and also take advantage of it.

Best ERP system with a very active online community.

Software sometimes has trouble calculating correct tax and gross amounts for invoices when multiple lines, cost centres, GL accounts, tax codes are entered.

Hard to learn, difficult to use, looks horrible, but now its online.

Speed, accuracy, and efficiency coupled with superior customer support make for a extremely robust application capable of expansion.

Sometimes it is difficult to integrate it with the payment system of national banks. Requires modifications and additional costs.

I really enjoy this product, it’s very reliable and the customer service it amazing.

Ease of use rating most impressive. Very user-friendly product, and customer support is great.

It has powerful, thoughtful, and comprehensive functions. It covers all necessary areas and has interconnection between various modules.

I have no recommendations. I don't do comparisons or evaluations on this type of software.

Sometimes, it's hard to find exactly what you need in a sea of options and tcodes.

As a data analyst, the ability for me to go in and create views and queries to run against SAP data is amazing.

I thoroughly dislike the user interface. It is extremely unintuitive.

SAP has very different kind of products but this one is one of the Best as it comes in cloud which reduces the infrastructure cost and time to implement and also it has both ERP and CRM.
