What do you like best about PDS?

Light Weight Program on your system. and since the program is being old somehow, I believe it might be a cost-effective solution to your organization. Since the program had been a long time in the industry hence too many employees are familiar with it. Also, you can program your tools and customize the software the way you like for more advanced features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PDS?

Nothing considering the program development date. However, sometimes the program will give random errors, which make the whole model exploded, and I miss the BACK button feature on the software, which makes me appreciate it in recent time modeling software such as SP3D and E3D. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering PDS:

With the new Smart 3D modeling software rolling out in the industry currently example, SP3D, and E3D, most of the clients are switching from using PDS also the integrated services of 3d laser scanning, which is currently supported by the new software. It makes the program difficult to compete against at our recent time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

With oil and Gas industry 3d modeling, "Smart modeling software" is essential for every engineering office to conduct the 3d model review and ensure everything is ok before submitting the drawings to the client. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
