One of the most disvantages is that the support don’t speak Spanish or French so if you have a problem you must to communicate with them in English. CGA content isn't especially hard to analyze and get running, however once in a while I wish there were more toolbars and implicit orders to make it go. Somebody totally without coding knowledge or comprehension would almost certainly have a troublesome time. Likewise, which is normal, it utilizes a great deal of the PC's assets to run. This is a great disvantage because not all my workers have a new computer with a fast RAM Memory. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

CityEngine allows the user to create planning simulations and visualizations by easily integrating rule-based scenarios with GIS layers. This has really helped us to show users how a proposal will look and to compare different proposals. The growing links to VR are very welcome. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The learning curve is steep and the software is not intuitive. Since it does not integrate well with other ESRI products, moving models, for example, between ArcGIS Pro and CityEngine are cumbersome and result in the loss of a lot of the symbology and textures from an ArcGIS Pro model. While the VR support is becoming better, there is a great lack of information and support for this. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
