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.

XTuple is putting lots of effort on eCommerce additions, but less on the fundamentals of the package. Silly issues make for large problems.

It is an additional cost and the options are expensive, confusing and often rely on 'partners' who don't always know much about the system.

XTuple has most of the nice features of an expensive ERP at a very affordable price. All our departments work in tune and have full vision of what is going on on the day to day activities.

Tech support is great, and bug fixes often arrive in a couple of days after reporting.

The user interface can be a bit complex on some screens. With the amount of data presented that is a common complaint.

It really help to reduce the TCO when it came to database licensing. It has a great scripting tool to customize.

Th lack of intuitive functionality and the old style interface forced us to go to QuickBooks.

Simpler to use than other ERP solutions. Integrated well with other critical software that our business depends on.

XTuple does have a knowledgeable and helpful community and plenty of plugings and add-ons to ensure that it provides the solution that you need.

Can get different numbers by looking at different screens in the app - worrying. Poorly designed database.

The icons helps to find the features quickly. Customizable,it is a very important thing for us.

I like that this software is pretty user-friendly. Not as user-friendly as some I've tried but still pretty good.

It has been a blessing in that it runs on multiple platforms and can be built from source code for the platforms that aren't supported in binary format from xTuple.

It has been a problem from the beginning. We have used it for 7 years mainly due to the cost of replacement.

If you wish to increase your footprint, additional licensing is available.

I have used xTuple for 4 years and absolutely love the functionality of it as well as the ease of use. The report writing capabilities are great and allow you to create reports from scratch.

Our experience with the applications listed under what we like best has been very good.

The e-commerce integration is cutting-edge for this level of software. XTuple is genuinely interested in customer feedback to improve the product.

We have had a great deal of success adapting the Xtuple software to our business, which has many peculiarities you would not normally expect a non-custom system to handle.

Tech Support and Customer Service are excellent. I have worked with this software for more that 10 years, and by the way, the free version is really free, it is not just a trial one.

The best feature in my opinion is the team behind the software. They go out of their way to work with their users to give you the best experience possible.

The aspect of this software I like most is the ability to customize it to suit our business needs.

Good product,quick updates and the support team listen to us for help or advice.

The support forums are a great resource for setting up the software, and in the instances that I've communicated with the developers they have been kind and resourceful.

There is no rev control and no ecn functionality. Other software that I have used in other companies has those things automatically built in.

I like the open source platform and the ability to extend and customize as needed. The ability to customze allows us to integrate with other systems as requested by our customers.
