However for less complex part or tool/mold designs you may prefer Solidworks due to its cost advantages.

Catia has a user friendly interface which helps you while you working on it.

With this mouse functioning also little bit awkward.

It is also best to see machining simulation, provide all the details about it like manufacturing time and all process details.

You can also work with parametric for any dimentions that can be connected with a formula and variables. It is well integrated with PLMs.

Another most important is it's low cost among the rivels. Even with low cost it provides decent features and it makes the CATIA a good choice for 3D modeling.

CATIA has better performance in  simulation and surfacing tool than other design software I have used. It has an good rendering capability.

This product is benefit to prepare and see the design with 3D and check the package. It helps to decrease the prototype investment.

It is very easy to learn. The main advantage in this software is we can switch between modules to have better design features.

This takes a while to get used to. Although, if you get used to the pictures or short cut keys, this won't be too much of a problem.

The software is hard to master. It has too many options which means you need to learn a lot of options.

My experience has been good, after using CATIA for three years I feel satisfied with the knowledge I’ve built up of the software.

My experience with CATIA was a whole journey, the beginning was hard and confusing, but after passing the learning curve it becomes way clearer.

It was working slowly and i had problems about opening second tab.

CATIA is the best software for surfacing, rendering and analysis as I used. For personnel use it is quite expensive but perfect for industry.

This is mitigated by the relative availability of online resources that can aid in tasks that would otherwise be more difficult.

D age module is truly poor; hence we generally utilize different apparatuses to make 2D's. Permit charge can be an issue for individual or little organization uses.

I used this software for two to three years and it best for advanced machining, easily provide modeling simulation and develops it's NC codes in just some seconds.

Poor technical drawing performance, long loading time.

I am very pleased using this program. Because we generally use complex models.

By providing the best design and model to customers we are making benefits.

CATIA really is easy to use compared to other CAD tools. What I like best about it is the ease in generating complex surfaces.

The best design I have ever used for 10 years and it can be integrated with analysis tools.

It makes new clients pulled in to it and there are a lot of instructional exercises accessible to learn. Its ability over a wide range of portfolios makes it an extraordinary item.

This software has pretty much everything that you could ever need. It makes CAD and CAM easier being able to be integrated into the same software.

Great, it has become favorite of the users when it comes to design and drafting the models.

I still have to adapt to the tool and find where they are but there's no bug mystery if used used CAD software before.

Catia has the best surfacing and simulation than any other software out there.

Hard to understand the design approach behind the tool. When the error pops up right after modification, it drives me crazy.

The System is very flexible and covers our needs. The vendor works like a partner, and the support is excellent.

Great product with outstanding customer support.

Best rated Textile ERP solution for your investment.

From the start to finish, it was a great experience to work with Mickey and Andrew. They listened to our concerns and needs and did their best to give us what we were looking for.

This is a very easy computer system to understand and work with everyday, with great quality customer service.

Excellent product, excellent support. Polygon support team always ready to help with any new complicated business system requirements.

We are impressed by how responsive the team is to individual needs and their willingness to customize modules as necessary. The system is well-thought-out and executed.

I used the software for a brief moment. I generally don't do this line of work but was needed and used this program and everything came out super good.

Wonderful owner of the company who is very knowledgeable of his product. Has a positive attitude and is very helpful.

Because of the nature of this business, the amount of data across multiple sources was immense and caused lags in the software.

Response from users has been great. The ease of use, the ability to extract and analyze data is something everyone appreciates.

Look at all MRP software for the apparel industry. We found PolyPM to be the best in cost, quality, and customer support.

We have an all around integrated solution that covers all areas of the product lifecycle. It is a true central repository of all our data.

You can limit or restrict users to only access what is necessary. Also, with this system, you can always be sure that the vendor will find a way to do what you need.

The software is simple to use. Inventory control is outstanding; we've been able to reduced our on-hand inventory.

They custom-tailored many tasks and reports for us which has made it very easy for us to get answers quickly and efficiently. We love the ease of use of this software.

The developer of this product is always easily accessible and available when you need him to help. The Inventory Management integrated with work orders is a great way of keeping track of everything.

It's an intuitive product that is very easy to use. They have great customer service.

It is great not use excell anymore, schedule on organized platform is very useful.

In the Apparel Industries, it has been very helpful to control inventories of raw materials, finished products and visualize the workflow of the pieces to make. Excellent tool to manage production.
