slow. I believe it is on our end and our drawings not all being setup correctly but sometimes it takes a while for our drawings to get produced for our customers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Speed and errorless Design configuration.

Earlier we are use to make sales and manufacturing drawing in AutoCAD in 2D. it take nearly 2 to 3 days and found error on later stage.

After using Drive works our drawing making time is reduce from to 2 to 3 days to 1 day and we are found and point out design fault at the time of making drawing.so we correct design at a time in drawing. and our design accuracy level will reached around 98%.

DriveWorks is the best helping hand for users for SolidWorks using company whose customer wants each product customised by their own requirment.

Easy to automate, Structured approach and flow, easily integrated with other systems. The latest 3D update is really good. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It only integrated with Solidworks can't think of anything else. The SDK of DW is a bit out of my understanding. This is not about DriveWorks but myself. My colleagues have made good use of API too. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The tjing that I like best is the ease of navigation through thé program. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I honestly dont have a dislike, the only thing I can recommend is keep it simple. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

My absolute favorite thing about DriveWorks is how deeply you can integrate it into your repetitive processes. DriveWorks was originally designed to help automate the creation of configurations of SOLIDWORKS CAD data, but has since expanded to a very wide variety of output formats: Word and Excel files, SQL and other external databases, .txt and .csv files, and more.

You can integrate directly with a PDM system, or initiate specifications from .xml data dumped into an internal folder. Your forms can be basic and filled out by engineering or sales, or they can be dynamic and visual and filled out by distributors or end customers. No matter how great or small you want your DriveWorks system to be, it can be tailored to those needs.

I've personally interacted with DriveWorks in a variety of capacities throughout my career. From ownership on down, I've never once had a negative experience with them. The co-founders have a shared passion for what they have created, and they also have a rare gift for finding and maturing the young talent they bring onto their team.

The result is a product that has been a leader in its field: ERP-based systems rarely provide the breadth of documentation or ability to customize an implementation, and DriveWorks' direct competitors (at least the two that I've evaluated) have always had something missing in comparison. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The biggest difficulties with DriveWorks have little to do with the company, or it's product. As an administrator, your greatest challenge is defining the rules, logic and limitations of your process... and that's an INTERNAL problem.

If your procedures (or product) are highly complex or detailed, the effort it takes to automate (and troubleshoot any errors) increases in kind. Anyone getting involved with DriveWorks (or similar platform) would be wise to understand this prior to beginning their evaluation.

As with any automation system, you can make your DriveWorks implementation as simple or complex as you want it, as it is customized and designed by you (or a consulting partner, if you choose that route). But that is a double-edged sword: a simple implementation may be easy to put in place but not save as much overhead, and a complex one can require a long and involved project to put in place before reaping benefits from a further reduced cycle time.

I would happily contend that complex/deep implementations are well worth the added initial overhead, but that does require you to manage your expectations with company leadership. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Driveworks Pro is actually having the capabilities which can change the complete business strategies of any manufacturing companies. I used the Driveworks Pro for one of my customers to do the automate process from Product Designing to Manufacturing according to different manufacturing sites and operations. It helps the companies to spent more time in Research and Development instead of doing regular operation also help to increase productivity. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Every software need time to mature. So there is no dislikes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
