The implementation has not gone well, many system problems.

I'm glad I have been brought in a job that chose this software. Everyone that I've met and spoke with through tech support is helpful and personable.

This is the most customizable ERP I have ever dealt with or implemented. Love, Love this as it easily can modify to serve the challenges of about any size company, growth rate, and experience levels.

Customers with limited computer experience find the interface difficult to use outside of tasks they perfomr regularly.

Our implementation and set up was managed very poorly, and we feel that we were cheated by the team responsible for our Implementation and set up.

The ability of this software to fully integrate all aspects of our business. It is very stable and easy to customize.

Terrible company to do business with and terrible product.

If you do any type of manufacturing and/or have multiple locations, this software is fantastic. This is a very customizable platform that allows for tons of flexibility.

Absolutely poor support if any. Referred to external consultants as ECi M1 could not supply technical support.

I like this software because it is very effective and efficient to my team. This is a software with complete package.

This software is highly customizable and provides freedom for the many integrations that we implement regularly.

The low cost of overhead to run M1 is its best feature. It is very robust, and runs day after day with minimal support required.

This software continues to be extremely reliable. M1 is very innovative and always increasing the capabilities of the software by listening to the customers' wants and needs.

This product is very user- friendly. It is really reliable for us in the industry.

Deciding to use ECi M1 has been the worst business decision that we have ever made.

Also has access to a robust user create digital warehouse and integration with Google Maps.

I love that Sketchup is integrated into other design software.

Good software very easy to use and not very expensive I love using this software.

Great value for money, you can do so many designs with it.

Cons; moving objects can be a little difficult to toggle. It's hard to easily connect different points.

I have so much fun with this program. It helps me to create visualizations of gallery spaces and design projects, which helps to generate interest for the projects.

Occasionally lacking tools for troubleshooting designs. Some export options are limited and require searching for plugins.

We have used SketchUp to mock up showrooms for clients in their conferences they attend.

The best part about SketchUp is that you can accomplish a lot with the free version.

Additionally, Sketchup’s openness to new users is amazing. They have a free version which is still very powerful as well as numerous helpful training courses for users to explore.

Ease of drawing, extremely intuitive, many plugins to extend functionality, imports dwg files.

Limited sketchup library needs to be upgraded or added more often.

If you are using SketchUp for 3d models and building plan it’s a great software, and i find this too much user friendly and as easy as MS paint.

Occasionally I get stuck from a line that hasn’t been drawn on the same plane and it makes closing a surface area or project section out.

Freedom of creation stands out, in addition to having easy to understand tools and also its variety of options available in the community.

It is super easy to do good things with Sketchup: you don't need to be a CAD profesionnal to use it.

What I enjoy most of this program, is the realistic view.

Very easy to setup and free for schools. There is now a web based version optimized for Google Chrome browser and integrates with Gsuite.

Like SketchUp free can be used for free while SketchUp Pro has pricing.

Has an awesome community of users and developers that make it even greater (with their extensions). Been using it for more than 10+ years.

It has some Trouble One of that, An Obejct should Be GROUP before make Another object On that If not When Move an object Everything will Stretch and Collapse.

I liked the idea of SketchUp. It looked like a really cool design tool, I liked that it was free for schools and that it worked on Chromebooks.

Fair but needs more improvements for user experience and be more competitive.

This can be frustrating which is why a warning feature would be appreciated for this type of issue.

For example the 3D Text tool. You have it in both versions but the online one can't use personalized type fonts, so you are restricted to use only 5 or 6 predefined type fonts.

Excellent 3D modeling software. Fairly straightforward to use and the marketplace is very easy to use and has some fun additions to the design to make the model look more realistic.

SketchUp is a 3D modeling software that is designed for businesses in several industry segments, including architecture, construction, urban planning, woodworking and interior designing. It enables designers to create, store and automatically convert 3D models into 2D designs. The software offers a user-friendly interface and was specifically designed to work for both beginners and professionals, offering both 2D and 3D designing tools. 


SketchUp allows staff members to provide potential clients with virtual reality (VR) based walkthrough videos via external tools, such as Oculus, Microsoft HoloLens and HTC Vive. With the built-in drawing tools, employees can create draw, extrude, move, combine, isolate and subtract complex 3D geometrical shapes. Additionally, it enables staff members to create 2D drawings, add annotations, define dimensions and include comments to provide interior designers, contractors and builders design contexts and requirements.
