Autodesk Architecture, Engineering & Construction Collection Reviews & Product Details

Autodesk makes excellent software for design and drafting in the architectural field. The AEC Collection is a perfect design and drafting bundle for everything an architect would need for day-to-day tasks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It would be great if we could remove individual software components that come with the bundle to get a lower yearly subscription cost. For instance, our firm personally does not use 3DS Max, which alone is an expensive subscription. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

All the software we require to model project is contained within a single package. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Would like to see an AEC Collection option to contain BIM 360 licensing combined rather than having to manage separate software licenses. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Autodesk has combined various tools to create AEC collection. The best part about this package it has Revit, Autocad and other applications at one place which can be used for variety of applications. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The price of the entire package is fairly high especially if you are running a small practice. Autodesk should work to reduce the price a bit lower. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

After being in the Reseller channel many years ago, the main thing that the AEC Collection Solves is having access to all platforms without a huge overhead. This is pivotal for those clients that execute every aspect of a project but maybe only need a certain software 5% of the time. Clients were more inclined to not utilize certain tools because their frequency of use did not match the cost that was associated. This allows them to confidently access many tools in their toolkit while optimizing overhead costs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One of the downsides that I see to the AEC collection is that the Installations are still very large. This poses issues to those that are utilizing a number of the tools in the collection as it put a strain on the hardware requirements. Having more flexibility to virtualize the software and licenses would be beneficial. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The collection gives us access to our most commonly used titles and having more seats than we might likely have if we purchased individually allows us to cross train designers to move from AutoCAD to revit or try out Infraworks Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some titles we could use are missing like a basic inventor for 3D content and I wish BIM360 was bundled with, or an option to save on BIM360 Design if we are AEC collection subscribers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One stop shop for all the applications needed to provide services to my clients. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Price point and interactivity between applications. Efforts should be made for a universal database that all apps pull from so changes from one are reflected in the others, thus reducing re-work and keeping on budget for clients. This will allow for more deliverables, in shorter time for the same money. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The AEC collections gives the best value for your buck.

When a company is about to purchase more than one software of the Autodesk's flagship programs it is better to use one of the collections Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The addition of the collections in turn got rid of the software suites and packages.

This is a nightmare to manage as an administrator.

The autodesk deployment timelines have almost doubled with more attention needed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As a professional who needs access to multiple types of engineering software, the collection has been a great value. Everything I need to complete my job and assist others has been included. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are additional tools that I don't even bother to download. Though that isn't too much of an issue to ignore Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Using Architecture is a simpler platform for me to use as opposed to Revit, the other software used in my office. There are always multiple ways to do each command, which helps customize the use for each user. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I recently needed to insert 3D columns into a project, and the library was difficult to understand. I couldn't find square HSS tubes in the list, which was very confusing. I think the library for these items could be better organized. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
