## Reviews

### "Well Constructed and Intutitive" — 5.0/5

> **Verified Reviewer** | *8 August 2021* | Civic & Social Organization | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: LightningCAD was implemented into our civil planning department with ease. Their staff helped us seamlessly integrate it into our existing CAD and GIS workflow, and our productivity has benefitted from their intuitive user experience and user interface.
> 
> **Cons**: The price is somewhat more than expected (for our team, at least), and return on investment is only at its peak when using it for large, publically funded businesses such as ourselves. For smaller private companies, cheaper CAD software may be a better choice.
