## Reviews

### "Custoemr review" — 5.0/5

> **Junji** | *2 June 2024* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: E Catalogue is very easy to understand and user-friendly. By utilizing the educational materials of Visual Components, one can understand the functions to a certain extent through self-study.
> 
> **Cons**: I am using it in Japan, but the Japanese guides are not comprehensive. The service system in Japan is also insufficient, so I am forced to learn how to use it in English on my own
> 
> The Visual Components software itself is easy to use, and the visuals are beautiful, which enhances the impression of the movement of our designed products. The sales representatives at the Visual Components headquarters are also very kind and respond to questions in detail, so we can proceed with confidence. However, I feel that the service system within Japan is a challenge while we appreciate them.

### "Strong DELFOI user and supporter" — 5.0/5

> **Frank** | *10 August 2023* | Research | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The whole product is such a valuable addition to our digital manufacturing capability, allowing us to support our partners and member companies in the quest to improve and enhance their manufacturing capabilities.
> 
> **Cons**: The software needs to be used constantly to maintain proficiency. More online video examples of  functionality. More online training videos.
> 
> Great, cant waiting for the upgrades and enhancements to come through. Always looking forward to new functionality.

### "Does less than we hoped" — 2.0/5

> **Verified Reviewer** | *20 August 2019* | Mechanical or Industrial Engineering | Recommendation rating: 3.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Easily drop in Solidworks models and get a true sense of the layout vs. 2D AutoCAD. We purchased VR goggles so the user can be "dropped into" the cell to feel it out.  We attended a training and it really helped us get up and going.
> 
> **Cons**: Animating the cell takes more time invested than the reward reaped from seeing it animated. The data we need is better gathered from a 2D simulation vs. a 3D so that it is more accurate/exact.  Also the female operator wears heels, has an inch of midriff showing, and a large chest - it is weird.

### "Feedack sum up" — 5.0/5

> **Daniel** | *29 May 2024* | Mechanical or Industrial Engineering | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: - Stability of software&#10;- The open VC-Framework for realise selfmade AddOns
> 
> **Cons**: - VC is using an old .Net Framework and old Python version
> 
> I like working with VC by realising different analysis, simulations, rendering, digital protoypes with one software. :)

-----

### "Good feedback" — 4.0/5

> **Sylvain** | *30 May 2024* | Machinery | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: A strong reactivity to solve problems and the wish of developping new things.
> 
> **Cons**: When you have a training with VC, it's very simple to use but when you're alone with an another logic of programming and you want to be very precise, it's a little bit complicate.
