It may not always be sufficient to simply compare CATIA and DraftSight with each other. Although reliable tools, cost and customer experience are all important and should be included when making a final decision, you should also check out the recognition and awards claimed by every product. Very often a less dominant app may turn out to be a good choice that was a winner of many B2B awards such as our Experts’ Choice Award which reveals that in spite of smaller market presence it’s a significant rival to the software that dominate the market.
