About

2D & 3D CAD software to create & modify technical drawings in DWG format with choice between Perpetual, Network or Annual licenses. Experience the agility of the n°1 alternative to AutoCAD. Cost-effective, ARES Commander offers a full replacement and an easy switch, at a fraction of the cost. With Graebert's ARES CAD software you will enjoy a 3-in-1 license, including ARES Commander (for Windows, macOS and Linux computers) + ARES Kudo (Cloud) + ARES Touch (iOS + Android). These 3 products work in synergy to synchronize the work across users and devices. Create and modify DWG drawings locally, with files stored on your computer, or in sync with Google Drive, Box, OneDrive, Dropbox, Onshape, Trimble Connect. Alternatively, you can also store files in a private Cloud server (via WebDAV). Some our advanced CAD features include the support for Dynamic blocks, PDF to DWG conversion, Drawing comparison, IFC & Revit import, 3D solid modeling, satellite images and street maps.

About

Simple for the Novice, Powerful for the Pro. Access SharePoint and OneDrive within the applications you already use. Easily edit Adobe, text, and all versions of Office. Box, S3, Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive, and more can be accessed right from your Windows Explorer or Mac Finder. WebDrive is the FTP client you already know how to use. Map FTP and SFTP servers as a drive letter for productivity and convenience. WebDrive is the WebDAV client with options to mount at startup and lock server files. It works the way the native Windows WebDAV redirector should work. Reduce installation and setup time for large implementations. Customize and push the settings out to all your users with no need to configure each PC. Improve security by accessing your remote files without syncing and filling your device with copies of your files—a major security risk if your device is lost or stolen.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Our company has been using AutoCAD before for more than 10 years. We found ARES Commander looking for cost savings and Perpetual licenses. Our 6 users could switch almost instantly. We liked also the ability to work on two computers or more. But most interestingly we see how year after year ARES is introducing new features for cloud, mobile and BIM that are making a big difference for us.

Cons

  • The software and the help files are in French but all the tutorial videos to learn new features are in English.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Reliable program great features at a great price. I have been using it for almost three years. I have remotely all my data and my work on the laptop.
  • WebDrive enables Windows Explorer level access to my scattered cloud storage providers. This is a huge benefit because the files are not stored/synced/duplicated locally like the OneDrive software does. They are genuinely kept in the cloud. It's like adding terabytes of storage to your PC.
  • Quick integration and ease of installation makes it a quick roll out to multiple team members. Great product.
  • WebDrive provides us with a reliable and fast remote connection to our office server. Easy installation and setup, and user-friendly interface.
  • Ease of connecting various cloud sources to a specific drive letter so I can use Explorer or Directory OPUS in an easier manner.

Cons

  • No cons. Reliable program great features at a great price. I have been using it for almost three years. I have remotely all my data and my work on the laptop.
  • I've been a WebDrive customer for years. Several times now after my support expires and my version is no longer current, the OneDrive functionality is lost. I have to re-purchase WebDrive and update the software to the latest version to fix the issue.
  • One user reported some synchronization issues, but this was isolated and appears to be due to slow internet speeds at one of our user's home office.
  • Nothing has presented as an issue for us during the time we have been using Webdrive.
  • Some of the options are a little mysterious as how they affect performance etc.
