Dassault SystГЁmes, a French company, manufactures both CATIA and Solidworks. Creo is top-of-the-line.ДЄ more apt comparison in terms of feature-sets would be with CATIA. ItвЂ™s really not fair to compare the two head-to-head. However, SolidWorksвЂ™ claim about their feature set was misleading (and still is) as the products are not really comparable for high-end industrial design.Д«ut this is all ancient history, how does SolidWorks compare to PTC Creo today? Feature setД¬reo is simply a more robust and capable package than SolidWorks. The launch strategy worked and SolidWorks exploded onto the marketplace. At the time, Pro/ENGINEER did cost significantly more and it was significantly harder to learn. SolidWorks claimed that SolidWorks was easier to use and could do 80% of what Pro/ENGINEER could for 20% of the price. When SolidWorks first hit the scene, it was brilliantly positioned to compete with Pro/ENGINEER (now known as Creo). In fact, itвЂ™s one of the top questions we get from customers and prospects.ДЄs a PTC reseller, weвЂ™re obviously biased, but weвЂ™ve been around since 2001 and have worked with every CAD product on the market so I think we can bring some useful perspective to this debate.

We often get asked about the differences between SolidWorks and PTC Creo.
