### "Best move for my business!"

July 4, 2020

5.0

I’m very happy with the program and grateful for its options.

Pros

This software is so easy to use. I was able to get it in minutes. It has organized my client files and made me look even more professional with just a few clicks.

Cons

I would love a feature that could automatically track which selections I’ve ordered from my lists and put the purchase costs into a spread sheet.

### "Love designfiles!"

December 15, 2018

4.0

I started with the free trial and it didn’t take long to make me want to sign up! Great experience so far, love it!

Pros

I really like the functionality of it, having everything in one place and it’s very user friendly. It’s also a great platform for e-deign businesses and the best option for me as an e-designer.

Cons

The software itself it’s really good but there’s room for improvement. I think it would be better if there was an easier way to remove items/furniture from non-white backgrounds for the 2D and 3D boards - the current function works for some items, but not for all. The packages should also have an option to offer discounts or run promotions, and it would also be great if the platform offered ongoing webinars to engage the users and offer insights for the designer community. That being said, they have been doing a very good job with implementing changes and improving - looking forward seeing it grow!

### "Design files review"

April 9, 2020

5.0

I enjoy it and I will continue to support them.

Pros

I like that I can use my own products with the web clipper. I like the clean look of the invoices and presentation. The product detail sheet is an excellent way for my clients to see the products. Customer support is AMAZING!

Cons

They are currently working on a 3D aspect which I really need for my presentations.

### "DesignFiles first week user review"

January 1, 2019

5.0

The software has allow us to cut the time consuming of preparing 3D and budgets. Increase productivity and free time to do more research. The presentations and interaction with clients in almost real time are excellent tools to keep track of changes.

Pros

The software is great easy to use and learn, It allows to prepare presentations and budgets in a fast manner and effciency

Cons

The software does not allows you to work on large photos formats and it will be nice if the it department of software developers introduce the ability to add shadows, transparency and more tools in relation to cropping.

### "Love Design Files!"

June 3, 2020

5.0

I love that everything is on a Design Board for my clients to see.

Pros

For a seasoned Interior Designer like myself, DesignFiles enables me the ability to provide current design tools to help my clients see the whole picture! Thank you DesignFiles!

Cons

Would love more Design options in doing the floorpans, i.e. arched doorways, and offer more products on-line.

### "Great Product for Designers"

July 14, 2020

5.0

Pros

The product is very easy to use and there are a lot of new features that are always added to make it better. The developers really listen to feedback to make this a great product.

Cons

Currently, there isn't any particular thing that I like the least about this product.

Switched from

[Mydoma Studio](https://www.capterra.com/p/155585/Mydoma-Studio/)

The price point was the main reason but there are just some many more things that I can do with DesignFiles that I couldn't do with Mydoma. Plus, I have more control with creating the mood boards.

### "Overall good except one thing"

April 28, 2022

5.0

Smooth. I like working on it.

Pros

Product catalogue, ordering, pricing, all at one place.

Cons

Product catalogue products doesn't come in 3D rendering option. Then it is like moodboard has something and actual plan has something else. This is the only drawback i found so far.

### "Great Software"

November 6, 2018

4.0

I like it a lot!

Pros

I am a huge fan of the software for creating mood boards and the 3D rooms. I like how the items are listed below with the cost and budget. I love how you can send it to clients and get comments. Overall, I am huge fan.

Cons

For items that are white and have a white background i really struggle with removing the background. Also, if there are shadows, you can't always remove them. Also, when a client makes a comment, it stays in that spot. If i move around the design the comment stays in the original spot.

### "Great asset for my design business!"

February 4, 2019

4.0

E-designing

Pros

DesignFiles makes my jobs look fantastic!

Cons

Would love some additional features. It would be great to have a "scrap page" section for each project so I have a place where I can put things I have already cropped and scaled, but am not sure whether I will use. It would be great to have another feature when saving cropped images- like the original is always saved, but then a manually cropped version can also be saved under a different name. If I use something from the vendors' list, it would be great if that item was automatically added to my project library that I used it in. I'd also like to see some rulers/measurement features. But so far, it's great!! Thanks!

### "No more head aches"

October 14, 2020

5.0

Pros

I loved that the software is easy to use.

Cons

I didn't think there were enough options like flooring to make your own room. It would be great if you offered an elevation view.

### "Easy to Use for Small Business"

November 30, 2020

3.0

Pros

Ease of customizability to current branding. Approve/Decline toggles Shopping List Coordinates with Design Boards Ability to create a design board

Cons

3D modeling feature needs to be developed. It's hard to use and there's no easy way to ensure correct scaling.

Reason for choosing DesignFiles

Ease of setup. I was in crunch time and needed to quickly switch platforms for an e-Design client.

### "DesignFiles is a big help"

April 14, 2020

4.0

Pros

Having all in one place, including invoicing, design and customer management.

Cons

Products offered in the program are often out of date or discontinued so I end up having to search for design items and add to my library anyway so that's reflected in my less than 5 star review. Also, limited large item retailers offered.

### "My go-to app for client presentations"

October 8, 2018

5.0

It's quick and easy and actually fun to use. My presentations always look great and the response to them is quite positive. I've had many requests from clients, architects, and teachers for the name of the app. Thanks for creating this great tool!

Pros

It creates a realistic and compelling presentation to a client. I also use it to brainstorm ideas for myself. I can quickly make a mood board or take a little more time and create a perspective with a personal touch that a client can really relate to.

Cons

I wish I could copy and paste an image w/o having to save it to my computer first. Also, the background tool doesn't work particularly well unless the image is clearly defined against a white ground. And if the object itself is white, it doesn't work at all.

### "Worth it!"

November 18, 2020

5.0

Pros

Clipping products from websites is so easy and the pricing and product information populates into DesignFiles saving so much time. Game changer for sure!

Cons

I haven’t worked with the program long enough to see where any improvements could be made.

### "Design Files needs an ios app"

September 14, 2021

4.0

Pros

I like the ease of use and the ability to use products from many sources - or add pieces that are not built into the program.

Cons

I wish there was an ipad (ios) app for ease of use on the go. There are far too many times I am away from my laptop and find it difficult to make changes while using the program on a browser on my ipad - for instance, you can not drag an item onto the mood board.

### "Pros and Cons of Design files"

February 5, 2022

3.0

When I first started using DesignFiles I found it difficult to find simple products such as cabinetry. It seems to have improved since I started. The support team has been excellent. I have used DesignFiles to show my clients how pieces will fit in the space but the overall design and products are not a depiction of my design and I make sure the client is aware that the program has many limitations and that is why their room will not look like the one in the program. Also, it would be great if the system would allow a walk through video like many other 3D software offers.

Pros

The ease of use and excellent support would be my favourite pros for this software.

Cons

There aren't enough features available. The products are very limited so it isn't possible to get a true depiction of your design.

### "Easy to Use Design Software"

January 29, 2019

5.0

I love it!

Pros

Easy to use, everything is integrated, can be customized somewhat to match my brand, I love the design board feature and options for it.

Cons

I can't customize everything as I would like, however, that would also make it more complicated to use so I can deal with it :)

April 15, 2019

5.0

Pros

The product interface is easy to understand and set up. As well, there are very short videos to self train. I felt the company was very attentive and we were able to set up a private one on one which I very much appreciated!

Cons

Doing the 3D is a bit tricky and will take some time to get it just right for me.

December 16, 2018

5.0

Pros

I love that I can clip products from other sites and easily build a budget. I also love the skew feature that gives the design a more realistic 3d view

Cons

If I need to move design then I cannot select all objects in design and need to move one by one. I would love to be able to group items together as well.

May 10, 2019

8/10 so far.. Needs to some updates to keep products to scale after distorting and no lock function.

Pros

The background removal feature. Organization. Customer service is great.

Cons

The distort function. Needs to have another point to distort from. It does not keep the scale the item. No lock function for items that have been placed.

### "Great bundle of features with this program"

April 6, 2020

5.0

Excellent customer service. $25.00 per month since I use this not as often as I would like. Have told other designers about this would be nice to get a month discount for referrals.

Pros

Power point (except that you can remove the background completely this is a problem for me. ) creates a bill of materials love that feature can invoice a client through the billing feature, create my own library of products love that ..

Cons

The biggest is that my clients have to sign up or sign in they really don’t want to do that when they can’t if they’re not tech savvy then I have to screen shot the slides. That doesn’t allow them to shop the cart items. I’d really like a way to have this made easier.
