You can do all the steps from the design of a piece, through the 2Ds until the analysis of strength and movements. > > **Cons**: This is a really difficult tool to understand the first time and every possibilities that is offering the tool is really difficult to handle, this is not a tool that can be implemented so easily. You need to put really important rules of use if you don't want a chaos in your utilization. > > I really liked the tool, with a bit of preknowledge and time, you can handle the features that are interesting you and I was able quickly to do what I needed in different features but I quickly understood that I was using only 10% of the tool. ----- ### "overall feedback catia" — 4.0/5 > **julien** | *10 June 2025* | Automotive | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10 > > **Pros**: I t can be recommended as very good software to deal with large assemblies and complex designs. It easy to work on simulation > > **Cons**: The software is hard to master. It has too many options, sometimes you need to take care about what you choose as option to don't destroy your productivity ----- ### "Powerful design software but not fluid" — 4.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *19 September 2025* | Mechanical or Industrial Engineering | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Parameterization capabilities are powerful, specifications tree is useful and surface module tools don t let you down for any design. > > **Cons**: Heavy and slow software sometimes, the interface isn't friendly and out of date if we compare to others softwares. > > The software satisfy all the need to engineering design but sometimes is slow and crash what can be very frustrating. ----- ### "Recommended for surface design and body modeling" — 4.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *13 July 2025* | Logistics & Supply Chain | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: Amazing software for surface modeling, metal sheet design and body parts design, especially in aerospace or automotive environments. > > **Cons**: Complex, much more detailed tool, but at cost of easiness of use. SOLIDWORKS and other competitors can do as much, but with better user experience and easiness of use. > > Good, state of the art software, but sometimes some operations could be easier to be performed, like other competitor software. ----- ### "CATIA - Review" — 5.0/5 > **Sebastien** | *22 April 2025* | Automotive | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: CATIA is the best CAD software ever, not the simplest but the most advanced one. The only limit of the software is your creativity. Clearly the shape design is the best tool box that you can have on it. > > **Cons**: Maybe the only default is the complexity of the software. The interface is not user friendly. > > I use CATIA since 9 years and it help me everyday in my work ----- Page: 1 / 10\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.co.uk/software/100453/catia?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.uk/software/100453/catia) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | ko | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
