What do you like best about Bild?

Bild is an easy to use cloud based file management system that we use for solidworks files. The program allows for check-in check-out functionality and keeps track of revision history. There is not a better product online that I have found. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Bild?

Bild is a newer company so some more advanced features on the PLM side are not yet available but the company does a great job at taking user feedback and adding features quickly. Every month the product just keeps getting better! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Bild solving and how is that benefiting you?

Before bild we were sending CAD files through email back and forth and had no way to easily have them in one central place. Bild has changed this and nw allows all of our files to be safely stored in one place that can be accessed anywhere in the world. In doing so, all of our engineers are on the same page and can quicly see the state of a design. Even better we can view all of our files in the browser viewer!

As a newer product, sometimes there are unforseen bugs or oddities that occur during use. Other than that, the product is great! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Bild solving and how is that benefiting you?

As a team of 45+ members with assemblies that contain thousands of components, managing data successfully is critical. Bild was not only a reliable alternative to GrabCad, but was an upgrade in so many ways. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Bild helps us solve the need to store and manage many CAD files that are shared across a large team of student engineers. The ease of use makes teaching others about Bild very straightforward. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Bild?

Bild is the best replacement for Grabcad we have found. We are a solidworks shop that needs basic part checkin and checkout and version management. We have tried other platforms in the past and have been very dissipointed in their clumsy ui, and awefull conrolls Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Bild?

What do you like best about Bild?

Having come from multiple generations of Solidworks PDM, Bild is a breath of fresh air. The Windows desktop is a very simple clean interface. New comers to source control for CAD files are able to pick this up easily and the online web previewing also makes it easy to use for non-CAD members. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Bild?

Bild isn't without bugs, but so far they have been relatively minor things and tech support has been very responsive to my inquiries! I do find there isn't quite the same level of detailed access control, but it's easy enough to create a separate repo folder if you need to have access restrictions. Given the benefits that come with ease of use, I'm willing to accept this tradeoff. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Bild solving and how is that benefiting you?

Bild provides the off-site, cloud server management which was a key requirement for our use case. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Bild?

Bild has made it easy for my team to be able to share SOLIDWORKS files without the hassle of having to pack and go each assembly. Iterating design has gotten much easier and faster which is exactly what we were looking for. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Bild?

Bild did have some stability and naming issues early on, but the team is on top of updating the software, and over a short period I have already seen a massive improvement. There still are smaller stability concerns I have but overall it has been a good experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Bild?

Overall, this is the most mature and easy to use PDM software out there. Buttery smooth UX and the team has been incredibly responsive to our requests. We didn't have the right integrations and the team delivered it the next month!! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Bild?

Nothing really - the PDM product can be more mature in lineage for some of my larger teams, but it really is a great solution. Startup so I expect the product to get better as the company grows. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Bild solving and how is that benefiting you?

Bild helps us manage our hardware design products - version control, branch/merge, etc - it really is Github for Hardware teams. We have gone from using a terrible on-prem Dassault product that our team dreaded using to this and it is wonderful Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
