Surface modelling feature and customization options available. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
We cannot get most of the modules like structural design, mechanical routing, electrical routing in single license Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It has only one file format. And sheet metal having easy to use Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
NX Cad is Good but it takes too much time to understand UI. It is difficult for beginner. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
At first I had done my CAD software training through many software in market but my experience with NX was awesome. It's been more than 6 years I'm using NX software to design plastic, sheet metal and casting parts and I found NX very user friendly than other software. The most amazing future is you can use the same sketch in many ways no need to draw different one each time. Also I have used different versions from NX 8 to NX 12 they have improved a lot especially in sketch constraints and other domain like sheet metal surfacing. NX is easiest CAD software to learn.

My dislike about NX is in latest version they have made the interface more complicated. My thought on this is bringing back the old Nx 12 sketch constraints method in the latest one. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
NX often referred as UG by old users, gives best flexibility in designing a part which does not requires a tree as seen in CATIA. Or may be interpreted as for quick concepts it is one of the best CAD software available in market.
The implementaion of 11th hr changes is possible and suitable with synchronous modeling.
nonetheless we are very well aware that, in Automotive industry the product lifecycle management tool (Teamcenter) is of SIEMENS which is parent company for NX as well. This integration gives seamless data modification from JT environment to part environment.
We have observed that CATIA may sometime face dificulty while filleting at value R0.5 which can be easily done in NX.
A very active customer support solution is made available by siemens and may not be required to connect frequently. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
As in automotive industry, we are more aligned towards surface designing which is more flexible in CATIA compared to NX.
The part with parametric history tree is more important to let user modify without affecting later operations done on part which is a little difficult in NX.
The UI/UX may require some improvements.
Due to above limitations I do not use NX frequenlty. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Its has a friendly and simple ribbon based interface. I have used it for many years and it is very easy to design the 3d models of components, subassemblies and assemblies of a product with NX CAD. It also makes 2d drafting very simple, just place views and give dimensions in drawing templates. Product image rendering is also very good in NX CAD. It is very easy to implement and integrate with any PLM software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I have used it for my regular work, even my entire design team was using this software. I have found working with it very convenient and that's why donot have any dislikes in it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Working with other format geometries like parasolid step etc. As compared to other cad tools like solid works
Some times center coordinates of the circular edge are differ from when cylinder surface - half surface
We can't select whole cylinder or hole surface when geometry type is different like parasolid step Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
From an industrial point of view, the software is excellent as it gives industrial people better ease of integration with various accessibility like surface modeling, and trim features for a plane for the automotive industry, and as far I know most of the industrial applications prefer NX CAD over any of the current software to name a few includes Solidworks, PTC Creo.

The most disliked thing about NX CAD is its not that user-friendly when we talk in the context of new users (educational purposes) as compared to the other software and getting the educational license is another problem that is quite easily available for Autodesk products the reason being in India most of the Autodesk products are preferred. One more thing that can be considered is the customer care support that is lagging in the case of the complete Siemens group which is quite better in the case of Dassault Systems.
