It is so helpful to have everything that I need to send professional concept packages to my clients. The web clipper makes it easy to grab images, information and pricing for any product online and the editing features allow me to control what I want my clients to see. The new room rendering application is great to show clients what their space will look, with the actual pieces. This is extremely helpful from a visual standpoint and so much easier than photoshop. > > **Cons**: The only con that I have is I would like to be able to create invoices for my clients. Hopefully this is coming soon... > > The team is amazing\! They are constantly striving to be innovative with Design Files and take feedback seriously. There have been so many updates and new features since the initial launch of the site and with every change, the program gets easier to use. It is extremely professional and worth every penny\! ----- ### "I love this software" — 5.0/5 > **Carmelita** | *06 November 2020* | Design | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: The ability to create digital images, the approve/deny function is AMAZING. Customer service is very responsive. Ability to create invoices and purchase orders with ease. > > **Cons**: Background eraser is needs improvement. Photoscissors.com has a better software \& I typically go there, then upload my better image into the product library. The product library is limited in photo options, I typically end up using the browser clipper to add products to my own library. I also wish there was an addition to the drawer on the right side when you're editing a design that shows you every product you've used so far (I sometimes hide them in the background so the client can see multiple options). I also wish the ipad functionality was a little better or there was an app, but i don't mind carrying around my laptop. > > Overall, amazing. It looks professional and I can keep track of several things for my clients. They also love being able to log in and see what i'm working on. ----- ### "Decent Enough Program" — 3.0/5 > **Makyla** | *16 March 2021* | Design | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10 > > **Pros**: I love the questionnaire portion best as its very detailed and clients love it; also that there is the ability to engage with clients directly through the program. > > **Cons**: I really wish the floor plans had the capability of having more detail added; sliding closet doors, built-in closets and cabinetry, etc. Also, exact precise measurements - I don't like that I have to round up or down on measurements, thus making a render not exactly to scale and more of a ball-park. I also really wish the floor plan product catalogue, flooring options, pain colours, etc. had MANY more options, not just generic - it makes the 3D option essential useless for me to use to show my clients. > > I find the program overall, just okay. Great for mood boards, as I have more control over what I can add and how I can display things, but in terms of renders, I find it to be mediocre and may have to eventually switch from DF to something else more substantial. ----- ### "Designfiles" — 4.0/5 > **natalie** | *16 November 2020* | Design | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: Love the shop it options and approve tab for clients. Love the boards being able to be sent with all items listed. Clients usually quite impressed with this feature. > > **Cons**: Biggest issue is the quality of graphics when boards are printed out. Lets the software down from a professional perspective \!\!\!\! Client not being able to approve item when it is to be purchased by them\!\!\! Having to go back to app every single time I finish something on a board....the questionnaire not having the ability to customise per project....not having a timer option per project to keep track of hours......... having to resend ALL boards when changes are made on just one or two??? Very confusing to keep track for the client and myself.....I had a huge issue with one board that ended up being sent to a client without me even knowing???\!\! I made a comment on one item and it went directly to the client before I had even approved it being shared??? Paint colours should be saved from last viewed so we dont have to search for same colours everytime Issues when trying to upload own photos to library...... Quikcbooks still not syncing even when problem was attempted to be rectified ..... no idea what to do > > Great customer service and enjoyable software to use. ----- ### "It pays for itself in money, time, and frustation\!" — 5.0/5 > **Janice** | *15 March 2021* | Design | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: It is making the transition to virtual very fun and easy. > > **Cons**: Choices for cabinetry for kitchens is low, but it is on the way after technical details are worked out. > > Great customer service. I love producing products with tech gadgetry, but I am uninterested in creating them from scratch. ----- Page: 1 / 23\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.za.com/software/122851/designfiles?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.za.com/software/122851/designfiles) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-MX | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | ----- ## Structured Data
