It is EXTREMELY user friendly and makes adjusting and creating models insanely easy to use. It makes it easy to insert digital elevation models to cut sections, extend move, and add new sections and reaches. Everything about it is great and easy to use. I use this program almost daily and I would highly recommend to anyone who wants to improve their company's worth. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Almost nothing. Sometimes is has errors with saving or delineating flood extents but when comparing the opsitives the negatives are almost obsolete. I will say everytime I encounter an issue I call customer service and they help mw resolve the issue extrememly quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The software is much easier to work with than previous ACOE editions. The underlying programming is still the same but the compatibility with CAD makes creating the models in REAL SPACE much simpler and easy to go back and forth between CAD and HECRAS which made my life a lot easier.
Best of all though is the customer service. I called for help on one of my projects and literally just set up a teams meeting right then and there to share my scree. It was wonderful being able to work with the engineers who actually created the programming to help solve my issues. I have called several times for one especially complicated project that I working through and they have been great every time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Although the user interface has improved a lot it still takes quite a bit of training and know-how in order to use the product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The great visual representation of your model compared to what you see in the original Hecras version. Easy to see modifications you make to the model. The ability to have an AutoCAD drawing inserted on a layer is very handy as all the line work from AutoCAD is right there and usable to generate your model. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Still learning but getting all the coordinate systems the same and line up has been a little difficult at first. Some more result output options could be better as this program still uses the original Hecras cross section, profile, and table results. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The interface of GeoHECRAS is very user friendly and easy to navigate. I can easily drag and drop reference files in to use in my model. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I do wish it was easier to export a comprehensive output file summarizing my model and results. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

All of the integrated features such as mapping, easier file uploads, direct access to streamstats and a better UI. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Can be overwhelming at first just because there are so many features but the tutorials online are very helpful for that. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
GeoHECRAS facilitates an user-friendly experience in which CAD, GIS and HECRAS software is seamlessly integrated together to streamline the modelling process for water resouces based engineering designs. It helps us realize cost and schedule efficiencies on our projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
On some rare occasions the software can be buggy and crash unexpectadely. Any concerns about losing work are generally mitigated hower through the effective auto-saving features. Civil-Geo also offers excellent technical support services to help resolve any issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use GeoHECRAS for 2D hydraulic modeling. It is very user friendly while mantaining a wide array of uses with a robust engine. I am able to produce very high resolution results usually in a relatively short amount of time. GeoHECRAS is easy to integrate into existing methodologies and easy to pair with other software systems. Additionally, their customer support is always very helpful and friendly, and has helped me with modeling setup, errors, and understanding of how the program works.

The only downside I've experienced for GeoHECRAS is that there is currently no easy way to integrate subsurface stormwater impacts. However, I do believe they are working on a data wrapper for EPA SWMM that has a similar user interface to GeoHECRAS. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It's easy to set up and import a model and it will update all your ras files. Also its compatibility with GIS and CAD files its really good. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I think the floodplains sometimes are not all that accurate or similar as you will get using hec-ras directly using the same terrain and cross-sections. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
GeoHECRAS provides seamless integration with Geographic Information Systems (GIS). This integration allows for more intuitive visualization and analysis of hydraulic modeling data. The user-friendly interface and advanced spatial analysis capabilities make it easier to manage and interpret complex stream and river systems. Additionally, its compatibility with existing HEC-RAS models enhances workflow efficiency and accuracy in hydrologic studies. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
GeoHECRAS may require good computing resources, especially when dealing with large or complex datasets. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Many of the models I have worked on have been for bridge and culvert replacement, the preloaded load culvert parts make it extremely efficient to create multiple scenerios and anaylze the results from different hydraulic opening quickly and accurately. Additionally being to load CAD files in the model is helpful to check dimensions, assign cross sections from polylines and add quickly update surfaces when survey data is available.

Just like with any software there are bugs and glitches that sometimes occur when using built in features. However, the support team of CivilGEO is extremely responsive in answering questions and pathcing bugs and glitches when they are noticed by users. I hope that updating the software after the CivilGEO team addresses the bugs will be more streamlined. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
