### "Up and coming company"

December 21, 2020

4.0

Pros

This is a nice software. It has many features like Mood boards, 3d room design, invoicing etc.

Cons

The 3d rendering needs to look more life-like and they don't allow you to do kitchens. Very disappointed though with the 3D. I want to show my clients something that looks real. I know the E design tribe has that and I am considering switching.

Reason for choosing DesignFiles

I made a quick decision based on the promotional lock in price

### "Invaluable "

June 15, 2020

5.0

I can not express enough how essential it is to my business. I can integrate the features into my website and communicate more effectively when clients approve and deny. It cuts my design time down substantially. I also like the proposal and billing features.

Pros

This program makesDesign, sourcing and billing easy.

Cons

I really like the Floor Planner and used in my previous job. If it had better functionality for kitchen and bath design that would be a great add on feature that maybe you could charge extra for. Also I need the ability to draw a deck.

### "Great Software for Design Boards & Product Tracking"

November 24, 2020

5.0

Pros

I was looking for something easy to use and learn to create my interior design and style boards. Design Files fit the bill. Their product picker is amazing and nothing I've seen in any software. It lets me have all of my client products I've found in one place. No looking for where I put them. The customer service is exceptional. I would not hesitate to sign up for Design Files.

Cons

I would like to have the option of doing different rendering views in each room.

### "Universal Library please"

May 11, 2021

5.0

Very good! I love it.

Pros

Too many to count. It helps me is SO MANY WAYS!

Cons

I do wish I could use the same products in both a floor plan and a 2D room - universal library. That would really help. Otherwise I love DF!

### "Good features with a few things to be deisred. "

May 12, 2019

3.0

Although I am not an experienced user, I would say that apart from Homework it has become one of my favorite past times. I would certainly recommedn to other designers.

Pros

The app is easy to use and has a lot of very useful features like the distort function, the product details and you can send the projects directly to potentials clients. The "add to Design files" button has also been precious.

Cons

Some of the pictures of the Vendor's product will not adhere at all to the project (moodboard) and there are alot of them that do not have a clear backround and cannot be used at all. The clear background function is useful but it is not always effective making the image bad. It would be so nice if one could crop around an item from point to point and clear the backround that way too. I would also appreciate a few more flooring and building surfaces.

Not having specific product from All Modern to use in the plans.

### "Best Design Software out there! "

April 19, 2019

5.0

Amazing!! I've used it on a number of client projects since it's inception and couldn't be happier.

Pros

It's so intuitive and flexible, I can't rave about this program enough. The customer support is fast and so helpful and its so easy to streamline your design business with It.

Cons

The only thing I wish it included was a room blueprint option so I don't have to import that from another program - one that shows room wall dimensions and an aerial view of the furniture to scale.

### "Design File is a win win"

January 11, 2021

5.0

So far, my experience has been good. Time consuming, but good.

Pros

Integration with my current business has been seamless. Client's love getting a visual before work begins.

Cons

There is a bit of a learning curve. At first, it takes a lot of time to find items and save them to your library. I think once that has been mastered, it will be a lot quicker to do a design. Also, need to include kitchen design.

Reason for choosing DesignFiles

Based my decision on Audra Slinkey's recommendation

### "My job is more fun!"

October 17, 2018

5.0

I have had assistance by Reps They have both been so eager to help and they respond so quickly. Rep even uploaded to my computer to help me with some technical advice.

Pros

The DesignFiles program is easy to use for all levels of creativity and computer skills. I am a seasoned interior designer that grew up on learning how to draw by hand. This program makes it so easy to present designs to clients and it's also a lot of fun!

Cons

I believe that editing pictures for your own library is the most difficult since you have to edit the picture first and sometimes complicated backgrounds are hard to erase. I find this mostly on pieces that have long legs or open shelves, etc.

December 7, 2020

Love the mood board, its ability to gather all pertinent info and pricing....we are a work in progress!

Pros

The mood board is good, am just getting into the systems

Cons

I am disappointed that I can't put in more accurate floorplans with actual Anderson or Marvin Windows and actual 3D renderings of true products I am specifying.

Reason for choosing DesignFiles

Segways with quickbooks!

### "Definately Consider this design software"

July 11, 2020

Tech Support is an average as sometimes it takes a day or two to receive answer.

Pros

The videos help immensely to guide you thru the basic steps

Cons

Could you a little more guidance to start the client project process

Reason for choosing DesignFiles

user friendly for product research, materials list, pricing, emailing to client and stripe access for billing !

### "Satisfied Customer"

April 7, 2020

4.0

Pros

I like that this software package integrates most, if not all, aspects of an e-design business. It's user-friendly and the video tutorials are very helpful

Cons

It would be nice if more customization (I.e fonts, color, verbiage, etc.) was added to the Packages page and email templates. I would also be nice to be able to easily draft floor plans and create photorealistic renderings (I.e. RoomStyler) but I'm sure that is a huge undertaking

### "Easy to use and affordable software with great tutorials and friendly, assistive support. "

April 6, 2020

5.0

I love it.

Pros

That I can interact with clients and create image boards.

Cons

The background white tool is great unless you overlay an item that has light areas. I find I often have to upload information twice so that is a bit frustrating. The bullet instructions for editing, uploading, previewing, etc. are very light - if they were a darker colour they would show up better on my computer. Type faces seem a bit limited. I would like it if there was a tool that allowed clients to see links without it being called Shop it. Some of my clients are not shopping but specifying at times so they need a link; the shop it button confuses them.

I needed support a few time and they respond immediatly and very friendly.

Pros

I tryed to find one but nothing cross my mind

### "I love adding this to my design business so that I can help more people with design. "

March 6, 2019

5.0

I have picked it up pretty quickly and what I couldn't figure out, \[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN\] helped me work through it. I still have some work to do to get it ready for primetime but actual work is getting in the way!

Pros

I love that I can work with my clients online and that they can order their own furniture and control their budget.

Cons

I wish I could use my nudge tool on my keyboard. I wish I could select more than one thing to make sure they are aligned - an alignment tool.

### "Design Files review"

January 14, 2019

5.0

My customers are very happy with the visualization tools and are really able to see the room before they order. I love the range of wall colors and pre-loaded options.

Pros

I love the ability to make 3d spaces and manipulate angles and planes so that we are creating a realistic representation on the proposed space.

Cons

We have a group of designers in our company and all of our projects are in the library together, it would be nice to just see the projects I am working on, it would make things a little easier.

### "Great Presentation Software"

October 16, 2018

5.0

Pros

I love the ease of creating design boards, tear sheets, and presentations. I use it for all client presentations. Although it's geared toward e-design, I use it for non e-design projects.

Cons

I frequently have different projects for the same client. I'd like to be able to organize separate projects under each client.

Design Files keeps everything in one place and very organized. It saves me lots of time and allows me to spend my time designing instead of keeping up my website. I also like that I can take payments on Design Files as well.

Pros

It is very user friendly with lots of nice features that are big time savers! Allows individual branding for a seamless look for my clients.

Cons

I guess the cost of the unlimited plan would be what I like least. I think it could be a little more affordable.

### " Great Program But Needs a Few Key Upgrades"

July 21, 2022

4.0

I appreciate that I've had good customer service.

Pros

I love that I can link the products in the design. I love that my product links are always saved in my library.

Cons

I hate how my progress isn't saved automatically. I hate how long it takes my design to regenerate when I undo something. I hate how I can't easily save different iterations of the same design so clients can compare different features in the same basic design. I wish I could pay to

November 12, 2018

With this application my work as been reduced and my presentations are more effective. Everything that I need to share with my customer for their projects could be review and update so easily.

Pros

I had few questions and concern when I started to use the application and their Chat Service was amazing! Quick response and very effective. This application has change the way I communicate with my customer and they love it as well as I do. Thank you for your application and I can't wait to hear for their constant upgrades.

Cons

Would be nice to have a French version! I will be working on something so my French Canadian customer can have all the details in French.

### "Design Files Review"

April 7, 2020

5.0

My overall experience has been great! Anytime that I have had a question \[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN\] have responded quickly. Several times \[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN\] has gone above and beyond to not only rectify the situation but to see how he could improve things for the future. I have always felt like they actually care about me and improving the software to help designers the best that they can.

Pros

My favorite tool that saves me the most amount of time is the browser clipper!! In general, I love how easy this software is to use!

Cons

There are a couple of small issues that I think could be tweaked such as, when I am using the browser clipper if I hit submit by accident before I have filled out all fields, I need to somehow delete that product and then start over again. It would be more streamlined if there was some type of "back" or "reverse the command" button. I also wish that I could build a library of products that I saved directly to my computer. Waiting on the rendering software!! :)

Reason for choosing DesignFiles

I wanted to add e-design to the services that we offer and this software seemed to fit our needs. Although I have found that I can use it with my full-service clients as well.
