### "Review"

October 9, 2018

4.0

Overall, its been great. The tool is easy to use and convenient.

Pros

I love the flexibility to add my own products. That is not an option in a lot of software that I have seen. That is critical to my business.

Cons

I want to link my customers back to purchase their items from me instead of going to the retailer directly. A lot of my business comes not only from sale of items, but rental, so its a really big deal. Designfiles isn't set up that way. I had to get pretty creative to make it work and frankly it adds a lot of manual steps for my clients. Maybe an API of some sort with trade partners would solve the problem...not sure.

Pros

The 3D feature is fabulous. Price point amazing.

Cons

Working within a file/design take getting used to because you have to click on unidentifiable by text icons. My lest favorite is the text option to cumbersome.

### "Best software for ease of use "

April 13, 2020

5.0

Still learning, but I feel I could start my e design today and I would be almost a pro. I look forward to implementing this as an addition to my design business.

Pros

I am certainly not computer skilled, but this software has changed my life and business. I love the tutorials and the ease of explanation by the Training consultants . I am so happy to have found you snd I highly recommend.

Cons

I forget to lock and it moved my designs in a blink of an eye.

### "Great time saving and organisational tool!"

March 22, 2022

5.0

A great product which has changed the way we work and made us a lot more efficient. Still have lots to learn and so need to spend some time looking at all the features.

Pros

The product picker and the way everything is available under one roof.

Cons

The fact sometimes, we cannot layer the furniture on a floor plan.

Reason for choosing DesignFiles

Your flexible approach, lower cost and great customer service.

### "Very Pleased!!!"

April 6, 2020

4.0

No complaints!

Pros

Image and product clipper! Saves so much time!

Cons

So ready for the rendering I need more window treatment options for the product library. 50% of my business is window treatments. I can be an exclusive window treatment vendor for you! What do you need as far as library content to get this on the site and into the library?

### "Time saver."

May 9, 2020

5.0

I’m learning the tricks and idiosyncrasies of both the 2D and 3D mood boards. It has THE MOST flexibility of any I've tried, in terms of vendors. The ability to clip product from sources like Wayfair AND Pottery Barn. Game changer.

Pros

Creating a tear-sheet type product list that integrates with my presentation materials when spec’ing.

Cons

Some features are unwieldy and not completely intuitive.

### "New Designer"

July 27, 2021

5.0

Pros

Since I completed my classes at QC Design School, the software here at Designfiles are much easier to use and create a living space. The floor plan software is much better than drawing the actual floor plan with a architect ruler.

Cons

Understanding the launch process, which I will figure out.

### "Option for lighting and shadowing "

April 12, 2020

3.0

Easy to use!

Pros

I have not used it yet, but we were missing the ability to do a 3D floor plan, so happy to see this. Life changing to see the distort tool come out earlier and now the option to trace around an object is wonderful!!

Cons

Nothing that I least like about the software, but I would like to have the ability to make it more life like through the use of lighting and shadowing affects to brighten and darken a room, making it more life like.

### "Intuitive & streamlines workflow"

February 22, 2019

5.0

So far I really enjoy inputting client projects into Design Files. And I actually look forward to it! It’s just so easy to use, it really make this part fun again instead of stressful and disorganized.

Pros

It exactly addresses the workflow painpoints I was having such as saving & organizing links, tracking product pricing & mark ups, creating presentations, and creating invoices with photos. This streamlines everything into one place that’s easy to use without being too complicated. It also adds impressive, professional 3D render options that I never had time for previously in photoshop.

Cons

The clipper for chrome book isn’t working yet.

Pros

### "Good for Mood Board Building and Sharing"

October 8, 2018

4.0

It's been good! I would recommend it for the purpose of building mood boards.

Pros

It's useful for web based back and forth conversations with my interior design clients. I like that they can approve or reject items directly in Design Files and they can also make comments on each item. I also like that the clipper does a decent job of removing backgrounds behind items so that I have less "noise" on my mood boards, without the hard work of removing the background myself.

Cons

It seems like it's still in development phase and there are improvements that could be made to make it even more useful and intuitive.

### "Makes edesign easy. Happy clients!"

June 19, 2019

5.0

I’ve been very pleased with the ease of use and intuitive nature of the program. It was very easy to learn and I love the product clipper feature to create design boards.

Pros

The end product is professional and easy to use for me, my team and the client.

Cons

I wish I could customize the questionnaire and print out a pdf of the completed questionnaires.

Reason for choosing DesignFiles

I liked the all in one nature of the product. Haven’t tried the invoicing yet but plan to use it soon.

### "So far, working well for our business "

June 8, 2020

5.0

It simplifies our daily tasks by combining many items we previously had multiple different programs for.

Pros

I love the look that you are able to achieve with ease.

Cons

I don't like that as of now, you aren't able to add your own pieces to the 3D design. I wish I could also add wallpaper. Even if I am not able to add my own furniture, I wish I could change the color or fabric of the pieces that are in DesignFiles.

November 19, 2020

4.0

Pros

We like that the program is prefilled with many design selections. We would like to see a few more options added. We also like that we can choose items from any website and add them to our designs.

Cons

We would like to have the option to add a design board for a project while working within the design page. Currently you have to go back to the projects page and add another board.

### "Such a Great Platform to work with Clients"

June 18, 2019

5.0

Love Design Files! Many clients are all about the visual experience and just would not see the vision without the imagery.

Pros

Being able to make selections quickly and easily and add in items from other vendors.

Cons

Trying to scale items that are at an angle

### "Brings my designs to life for clients to see"

April 23, 2019

4.0

I'm able to give my clients a better sense of what my designs will look like in their spaces and also have been able to save time with this program while increasing my professional presentations. Very happy with it!

Pros

I like how easy DesignFiles is to use. I learned it quickly and intuitively, and the customer service support has been fantastic. It's a great way to take my design elements and create rooms for my clients to see their spaces come to life in a new way.

Cons

I'm new to the program, so I don't have much feedback about how it could be improved. I do wonder if I can adjust the transparency of wall colors to assist with my exterior designs. I also wish I could change wall colors from the paint libraries without having to build new walls from scratch.

### "designfiles review"

December 21, 2018

4.0

I am very happy with designfiles and look forward to using this service more in 2019!

Pros

The value and ease of use, and customer support. I like that the goal of improvement, adding value, and listening to the users is a priority of the Designfiles support team.

Cons

Manipulating furniture for 3d renderings is still tricky for me. It just takes me longer than I would like but in all fairness, I don't need to do them too often.

### "3 Weeks in - :)"

April 29, 2020

4.0

For the business I am in - I would prefer to not have the "shop it" link shown - when I include pricing -

Pros

I like the ability to combine multiple designs along with product information - So far , I am finding it fairly easy to navigate

Cons

I am anxious to see the room planner - allowing us to import our own dimensions and structural features, then hopefully converting to a 3D capability

Great experience all around, simple to use! Very easy interface, so easy to understand

Pros

I love that I can complete multiple task all in one spot, not only can I communicate with my client's, I can do a Design!

Cons

I'd like the ability to create floor plans within the program .... a dream would be able to render in 3D too!

October 7, 2020

5.0

Great! The team at DF are always responsive and helpful. Thank you for adding in the questionnaire option!!

Pros

DF is a great, user-friendly tool for translating your design thoughts into a realistic rendering. The amount of aid it gives to communicating your design to a client is invaluable.

Cons

I do wish it was easier to omit the backgrounds of certain images for the design boards.

### "Ease of Function"

June 24, 2021

5.0

I like that it is all encompassing. I used to have a separate platform for contracts. Once I figured out that I could send contracts through DesignFiles, it was a time saver as well as a cost saver.

Pros

I like that the design enables someone that is not computer savvy to figure out how to use the product. The "clipper" is a game changer and makes doing design boards a snap. Customer service is great. They respond quickly and have answered any question I have.

Cons

I would like to use Stripe but have not established a website yet - not necessary as all of my business has been work of mouth. I would like to enable CC charges directly to the individual project.

Switched from

The program was cumbersome and did not allow for design boards. The tutorials were not user friendly and it was expensive.
