Pros

“The 3D item library isn’t huge, but they are constantly making updates and this isn’t a critical need of mine”
EW

Erica W.

Owner

“Basic functions require constant workarounds.”
AB

Ashley B.

Iead Designer and Business Owner

“At the moment, not being able to enlarge the floor plan when doing the scale/initial measure (would like to be able to get a more exact measure).”
KB

Kim B.

Residential Designer

Pros

“Payments and approvals from the client side are managed through one portal, thus making it easier for us to follow the trail of any deposits or milestone payments down to the signed contract.”

Eri D.

Founder

“Assuming that everything works properly when syncing with QuickBooks, then there is sufficient information coming through for us to be able to recognize transactions rather than having to recreate them.”

Founder

“Customer service has always been satisfactory in answering basic queries through email and messaging, although complicated synchronization problems may take time to solve.”

Cons

“It feels overpriced for what you get, and the lack of professional polish makes it hard to trust for client-facing work.”
AB

Ashley B.

Iead Designer and Business Owner

“Furniture sourcing doesn’t update automatically, creating unnecessary headaches.”
AB

Ashley B.

Iead Designer and Business Owner

“Limited compatibility: DesignFiles may not be compatible with all file formats and design software, which could limit the types of files that users can store and share on the platform.”
AG

Alexandros G.

Civil Engineer

Cons

“Another hindrance lies with the method of paying: fees incurred from using ACH payments, coupled with the maximum fee charged on each project, can cause a large project for our clients to be broken into smaller parts that may create problems when matching the deposit to the invoice at month end.”
Verified reviewer profile picture

Eri D.

Founder

“Did not integrate with Quickbooks, Employee Clock in/clock out feature did not work properly, 3D rendering software was glitchy and not user friendly, no way to capture allowances for finishing selections, pricing increase was over 400% after first year.”
MM

Melissa M.

Owner

“The problem here is that the videos showcase stuff you can't access (or the videos are outdated and need to be removed from their directory).”
