Also, the program runs easily even if the computer specification is not good. > > **Cons**: Increasingly, the more advanced what I was trying to learn, the longer it took and the lower the performance compared to other programs. It was a pity that there were sometimes no basic functions in other programs. > > It is generally satisfactory because it is a program that works well even without a high-spec computer. ----- ### "Unaffordable for small practitioners" — 1.0/5 > **Jared** | *4 November 2024* | Architecture & Planning | Recommendation rating: 1.0/10 > > **Pros**: Most robust 3D CAD/ BIM software available. > > **Cons**: They constantly change the licensing so you essentially end up buying the software from scratch every few years. You can not upgrade, but you also lose support. Also, the annual updates and features are great, but they need to focus on how to clean up, consolidate, and streamline a lot of these features which are often redundant. Hence, the learning curve is intense and takes years to master the program. > > Due to the constantly changing licensing system, you essentially end up purchasing the software new every few years making it unaffordable for small practitioners. There is a reason why Revit dominates the US market and will continue to do so if they do not make some drastic changes. ----- ### "Archicad is an alright software" — 5.0/5 > **Emmanuel** | *4 August 2024* | Architecture & Planning | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10 > > **Pros**: Its ease of use makes it very easy to pick up > > **Cons**: its interface is not very appealing to new users > > fairly good the only issue I have was that to get good renders you need another app ----- ### "Great program but Pricey" — 4.0/5 > **Eric** | *9 August 2024* | Architecture & Planning | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10 > > **Pros**: very high level of usability from a Bim standpoint, helpful through the entire building design process. > > **Cons**: The price, per seat per month was just more than we were looking to spend as we added more employees. Did not feel like it would grow at our pace. > > Really good, everything was smooth and intuitive, more options than you probably need, but really well done. ----- ### "Well designed cad package, Rendering can be improved" — 5.0/5 > **Rimi** | *17 December 2018* | Architecture & Planning | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: Full feature set, and integration but also interface that is not cumbersome to get used to. Switch from previous packages was not an issue. > > **Cons**: Rendering compared to our other solution was not as crisp, at least from our experience. But end result was good enough for our clients. > > still the overall value would be make it a good option, unless you are already seasoned with a different CAD and BIM package. Also rendering output results and image realism is a consideration to keep in mind. ----- Page: 1 / 12\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.in/software/2018/archicad?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.in/software/2018/archicad) ## 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 | | | ja | | | nb | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pl | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | | sv | | | tr | | ----- ## Structured Data
