Autodesk Fusion 360 Pricing Overview

Upchain is a breeze to set up. It's possible to implement without having a full-time person dedicated to administration. Through their "Connect the Chain" program, current and new users have access to detailed live training sessions every month. Throughout the process, Upchain's support team is very present and willing to help.

Some of our assemblies have suppressed parts that need to be unsuppressed in order to be uploaded which is an inconvenience. I communicated this to the Upchain team and they are already working on it.

We are a startup that needs a single source of truth on design details in order to execute efficiently and with proper ECO approvals. Upchain provides us with a scalable, cloud-based solution with easy setup, great user interface, and competitive pricing. Upchain has many additional features such as project management that will be useful as our design team grows.

Upchain provides a great service for BOM and change management. The online viewer for browsing 3D models imported from our Solidworks developers is great for non-Solidworks users (quality team, management team, electrical/software developers, etc.), and even for Solidworks developers that aren't on their CAD computers. The price point for Upchain is also really great and hard to beat for small teams. The customization of workflows is really nice as it allows our company to start making different paths for different products/stages of the design.

User interface could be tweaked for repetitive tasks, like making changes to a part in the expanded BOM, but then the BOM collapses after the change takes effect you must re-expand all levels. Also, document management that matches part management would be excellent. The ECR/ECO/ECN process could be tailored more closely to ECO processes like ISO 13485, especially with the ECN aspect which doesn't really match the typical "notification" stage that we are working with in the medical space. The ability to customize the part's metadata further, and remove fields that aren't used even if they are defaults in the system. This would be nice to make it cleaner and less cumbersome when reviewing.

We were managing BOMs and parts using Excel, and now using Upchain which is great for that. We were also doing our own "vault" for solid works parts, which is now being done by Upchain and helps with collaboration.

It is one of the only cloud based PDM/PLM solutions available at a reasonable cost. Other software only offers PLM, no CAD storage and a significant set-up fee.

Need some more BOM functions such as being able to re-arrange the position of a part within the BOM. We also need to figure out how to integrate with our apparel design team who uses a lot of 2D and Adobe software.

We are improving communication with our supplier development, purchasing, engineering and quality teams. We have seen tremendous improvements in change management and maintaining project design freeze. We have reduced confusion about product specifications be being able to directly link documents and drawings to the part. Product cost is also finally becoming transparent across the organization.

Best user interface, easy to access any where just by using login ID and password because it's uses cloud.Auto save option is the savier when sometimes unexpectedly closes fusion.

Sometimes it's gets crash & difficult to identify the problem. Simulations give some inaccurate values, but it's ok. Some of features difficult to create it has its own limitations

Multiple users can easily accessible for a project or for a design. Easy to identify who edited last & what changes that users made. Rollback feature need some more update because it's has some problems.

I love this system, since it provides sophisticated functions according to the reduction of design errors of a project, promoting innovative statistics that allow a greater margin in labor matters, mentioning that one of my favorite aspects of Upchain, is that it acquires functions that guarantee the development of the products you run in your corporation, redesigning and advising, for an optimal fit for maximum effectiveness in terms of numerical percentages, increasing the scope of development and productivity of an entire business establishment.

It proceeds to maintain a wide list of capabilities for the different steps that must be developed in the course of creating a product, highlighting that from a more strategic point of view, it would be incredible to implement a plan with direct functions that allow designing and run a design in its entirety from this same platform, in order to promote faster work, which is a great idea, if there were this option for the creation window.

Currently Upchain is executed in the departments in charge of the design and production of digital projects, as it provided us with useful intelligence-based tools to properly correct all the details that are hidden in these idealizations, wonderfully adapting to be used with a extensive number of employees in these work areas, to drastically accelerate productivity, and ensuring a more optimal and favorable performance, which has resulted in a great strategy, to analyze and request changes, throughout the life cycle of the current product.

This tool is easy to use and very customizable, I like it for its good features, one of my favorites is the ability it has to allow several people to work together on a project, I like that each project can also be tracked, this tool is perfect and intuitive.

Updates constantly make things worse and by the way, the price seems very expensive to me, it should be more accessible and therefore being able to reach many more people is the only negative.

This tool has been very good giving good results, we can manage files and documents, having everything in one place, it is a very useful and important tool for us.

1. UpChain provided a great opportunity that for the whole team (not only inside the company, also combined with external vendors and clients) to be able to work on the same platform, from pre-prject til the end of R&D process. 2. UpChain create a bridge to link CAD users (MD, ID, ED) and non-CAD users together, so we don't need to rely on a installed CAD software for everyone. Everyone can check the CAD file easily. 3. The issue ticket system is amazing. Once a issue is found, now we can quickly create a ticket and assign it to the people who will take charge of fix it. It also create a link that everybody will know who gona take the responsibility and who gona review and approve it. 4. Compare to Solidworks EPDM, Upchain doesn't require a server setup. So everybody can access it from anywhere. Doesn't need a VPN.

1. Upchain has a plugin for Solidworks. As a CAD worker, I would like keep all features in the plugin, so I don't need switch to browser to make some operation. But in current Solidworks plugin version, some features are still only available in browser. 2. CAD file version management for Solidworks plugin still need more work to make it more practical to check/compare different versions. 3. In the support section, most of the Q&A are based on browser version. Hope we can have more Q&A focus on CAD software users.

1. When working remotely, no VPN needed. 2. Quickly check CAD and compare different versions in browser.

Provides a lot of improvements over previous versions. Allows the user to take control over their work with the help of the software. All data is available for the user immediately. Automates important jobs and small to-do items which helps with better maintenance of people, project and the workforce. Allows version control features by keeping log of changes.

Does not deliver the perfect solution to replace other products and PLM alternatives.

It helps me organize all spreadsheets, docs, powerpoints in one place. Provides many configurations for the user to take advantage of. Cost and Quality update and management are important features covered.
