### "DesignFiles Review"

October 10, 2018

5.0

Makes presenting projects to clients much easier and self explanatory. Like that we can send by email and receive feedback.

Pros

Ease of adding new items and descriptions with clipper, placing and cropping images to look creative

Cons

Not being able to pull from all websites, I can not clip from Lee Industries and it is very time consuming to screen shot and manually add. I have called about this and reported to customer service but so far I have not seen any changes Would like to see a crop/edit function for circles and ovals

### "Happy to have discovered Design Files"

October 9, 2018

5.0

Pros

customer support, user friendly, versatility

Cons

\- the fact that if I send the presentation to my customers directly from the app they need to register in order to see it - currency option limited to $ - i would need a higher degree o customization of the presentation (e.g, to eliminate all values, to have also other templates etc)

April 15, 2019

It helps with visualization and communication with my clients.

Pros

Moodboard and Clip feature are easy to use. The moodboard looks great, and I appreciate how I can download it, and/or the presentation.

Cons

Doesn't work well on mobile for designers, I am not able to use the search function, or design on it.

February 8, 2019

I have no problems overall. I use it not just for e design. I use it to layout my staging jobs so I stay organized and have a plan when I go into a job. Much more efficient.

Pros

Its very easy to use and follow the video instructions.

Cons

I struggle a bit on the 3D designs. I need a little bit more help figuring those out.

Love it.

I love the mood boards and the ability to grab and clip anything from the internet.

### "Review "

December 17, 2020

4.0

Overall, it’s fine. Main thing that I would really want is the ability to use spec’d pieces in the 3D renderings.

Pros

I recently joined so haven’t explored all the features. Primarily using it for room airs and floor plan/3D renderings. Fairly easy to learn and use thru the tutorials.

Cons

1\. Can’t use items from personal library for 3D renderings 2. Limited options in products for 3D. 3. Unable to view better pics of products until it’s transferred onto layout. Only then you can view details. Wish I can view details as I’m scrolling thru products. 3. Wish I can change color of doors and windows. 4. Limited options for doors, windows, and trim

April 20, 2020

5.0

Absolutely wonderful!

Pros

I love the ease of use, I love that I have the ability to customize the library to use in my projects. I love the owner and creator of designfiles. I love that they are always trying to make it better.

Cons

I understand that we will be able to do 3D renderings soon enough! That makes my day!

### "Couldn't do my design work without it!"

October 9, 2018

5.0

An easy to use, convenient and organized way to keep track of items I've selected for my clients. I cannot image my work life without it!

Pros

Easy to use. Client's can comment on each item I've proposed, so we can keep track of conversations on each piece of furniture.

Cons

Sometimes clipper doesn't work, but usually not an issue from DF side.

### "New to Software "

March 13, 2022

4.0

I really appreciate all the learning tools..but there are so many it's hard to fit it all in..would love a one on one tutoring option I could request when needed.

Pros

I do like being able to do a 2D layout quickly without spending the time in AutoCAD or sketchup

Cons

I'm having a hard time learning how to use the 3-D and adding custom furnishings with the custom fabrics.

### "GREAT INTRODUCTION TO 3D DESIGN!"

June 23, 2020

4.0

Great first impression for tech challenged individuals.

Pros

I love that fact that we don't have to tally the products that we source, we can show clients what we want them to see, and it's very interactive between designer & client. Everything looks so extremely professional and on brand. Plus, the added bonus of being able to see when our clients have viewed what was sent!! HUGE BONUS FEATURE!

Cons

However, the 3D feature is a nice gesture but I wish we could use the 3D feature with the items that are sourced specifically for our clients. The client impact would be much more powerful during the presentation process.

June 29, 2020

2.0

Very frustrated with ease of use and accuracy. Not user friendly. Tough to get help support when I need it on the weekend.

Pros

Desired features.

Cons

Scaling walls with exact measurements. Saving projects. Ease of use. Saving products in library and move to project.

### "Great Database for those who are always searching"

March 14, 2019

4.0

An ideal solution to show ideas to the client, with a quality of resources rarely seen before. It has saved me several times.

Pros

The resources it offers (templates, wireframes, UI sounds, etc.) are really very good, of excellent quality. It is a simple page, very easy to use and that fulfills the purpose for which it was created. If you need to capture an idea quickly for a client to see it, this tool is ideal.

Cons

There's nothing really to complain about, other than some things that can make the editing work easier, but it's not that they do not have the options so it would not be a con.

### "Good tool for sourcing projects."

June 6, 2019

5.0

Overall, a great tool for my business.

Pros

The clipper is quick and non-buggy. Makes online shopping quite easy. Since I have staff working out of their homes most of the time, having a tool like this keeps our projects visually connected.

Cons

It is a little confusing to set up a client and preferences. I am a new user, so I know I have a ways to go on the learning curve and know this is will improve. Also, not a con for many but there are more bells and whistles than I would incorporate into my business model, so less on the screen would be my preference. Would love to have a color correction option.

### "Best software for Designers"

October 19, 2018

5.0

The customer representative takes my calls personally when I've needed help, I have been beyond satisfied with this program and would highly recommend it to any Designer.

Pros

I love, love, love this software, it is easy to use and simplifies the entire process from start to finish.

Cons

I only wish they had a floorplanner option!

### "Design Dreams Come True!"

May 20, 2020

5.0

I do a lot of personal shopping and styling projects for clients and this lets me easily present my ideas, have a single point of reference for back and forth and help clients visualize how their picks might look in a space (again, the items being to scale would make that a lot easier).

Pros

I was hunting for a site/software/app that could easily bring my visuals to life and voila, here comes design files. :)

Cons

I wish I could do renderings of rooms to scale. It's hard to recommend pieces or layouts to clients without having confidence that what I'm proposing is actually how it will appear in a space. Also wish it autosaved while working on a project.

### "Issue with Safari"

April 10, 2019

4.0

I love the program and am very happy with the design boards! I'm having a bit of a challenge with creating renderings - so not able to review yet as that part of the program is more difficult to use. I find that trying to apply paint color to wall is frustrating - I will rewatch the tutorial video and hopefully that will help! Overall, I love DesignFiles and am super happy with every aspect from the ease of use for the basic design boards and the excellent customer service!

Pros

I love the ease of use and the professional looking finished product (design boards)!

Cons

I use a MacBook Pro and the software doesn't interface well with Safari - the browser clipper stopped working altogether with Safari.

September 17, 2021

4.0

Pros

I love the fact I can collaborate with online stores for products as well as my accounting system. Shopping and ease of business all rolled into one!

Cons

I had to upgrade to compete a client questionnaire when I was at a customers home. Prior notification would have been ideal.

### "DesignFiles Review"

December 2, 2018

5.0

My overall experience with Designfiles has been much more interactive, personal and positive than I'd ever anticipated.

Pros

I am extremely impressed with the following: 1. The Tutorial Videos provided by DesignFiles as it's always easier if you can follow along visually with instructions when learning how to use anything new, but especially when learning new software programs. 2. The amazing Customer Support provided by team and their attentiveness regarding any questions that may arise. 3. The obvious desire of DesignFiles to listen to their designers and professionals feedback in order to continually update and improve upon the software. It is by far the most user friendly software I have ever come across.

Cons

I don't have anything at this time that I've not liked about the software.
