A user/company could setup its cases locally then submit them to the cloud for fast/accurate results. This convenience removes the large initial cost on the user who will pay only for the resources used. > > **Cons**: For now I don't any issue or bugs with Ansys Cloud. I only think the cost is a bit high compared to Cloud vendor like AWS or Azure. It should be noted however, that Ansys Cloud offers some degree of automation when exporting the works to the cloud. > > Ansys Cloud is great for large simulation cases. For me a CFD case with millions of mesh elements would mostly benefit from this software. ----- ### "Ansys cloud experience." — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *7 May 2022* | Civil Engineering | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Ansys is a most powerful and easy program even if it's not that easy to learn but still giving a lot of excellent options and especially details. > > **Cons**: Little hard to learn all what the software is capable to do may take some time, and also need some secs or minutes to work sometimes. > > Really happy to use this software without it a lot of designs and analytics could be more hard to get. ----- ### "Good entry, but could use some work" — 3.0/5 > **Stuart** | *21 January 2022* | Electrical/Electronic Manufacturing | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10 > > **Pros**: Easy to set up and submit a job, nice reporting interface online > > **Cons**: Not easy to recover data and integrate it with local solutions. Rather than having to download a standalone file, it would be nice if the data could be streamed back into the original solution, just as if you had run the simulation locally. Having to manage multiple version of the same file is a large pain. > > It seems like a nice entry into the cloud solution space, but could use some work on polishing the implementation. ----- ### "ANSYS Cloud computing" — 4.0/5 > **Sudipta** | *21 January 2022* | Aviation & Aerospace | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Flexibility of using multiple cores and memory. > > **Cons**: File transfer can be nightmare sometime. > > I am happy with ANSYS cloud. ----- ### "Valuable" — 5.0/5 > **Alaettin** | *22 January 2022* | Mechanical or Industrial Engineering | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Easy to use, fast with multiple cpu s and rams, optional things to select if want. > > **Cons**: Still has bugs in it. When i use it, I could not see real time elastic coins. Responses from operation system may be slow. > > It was really fast and valuable to experience such an opportunity. ----- Page: 1 / 2\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.ie/software/1024441/ansys-cloud?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.ie/software/1024441/ansys-cloud) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
