## Reviews

### "New to home program" — 4.0/5

> **Stephanie** | *22 February 2025* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Accessories and access ability for endless possibilities.
> 
> **Cons**: No tutorial on features upon login nor any type quick link box.
> 
> Starting it up and running with it. I am very pleased with \[sensitive content hidden\] but don’t want to bother with simple questions. Need a chat bot tutorial

### "Still a work in progress..." — 3.0/5

> **Barb** | *18 September 2024* | Building Materials | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The ability to design and price projects with the actual manufacturer catalogs. The ability to create accurate visuals for both the designer and client to enhance the process and understanding of what they are receiving.
> 
> **Cons**: Problems with the cloud and cloud base products. The inability to edit size and color and textures of cloud base decorative items. For many of our designers, the system will crash and/or revert setting preferences requiring having to recreate multiple times. Many of the designers have not had optimal quality with the EZ render engine, or it crashes.
> 
> None of our designers have upgraded to the latest version V14.2 because of reports of the instability/ crashing or lack of control over cloud based items. &#10;We are all running either V13.6 or V13.8. I would love to take advantage of the newer features, but not at the expense of losing other features. I definitely do not feel they have improved by 25-30% to be worth the accumulative price increase. I have been using this sinve V4.X or earlier.

### "Design Flex is a time saver" — 5.0/5

> **Cheryl** | *7 February 2026* | Design | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: This Software delivers a reliable intuitive platform that makes detailed design  easy and work fast and accurate. The tools are precise, the interface is easy to navigate, and the 3D visuals help clients clearly understand the design. Downloading various catalogues increases the speed of pricing.  &#10;Being a previous 20/20 user our lead  is back on his game.  I work in Mozaik by Cyncly. The company IS FANTASTIC.
> 
> **Cons**: My only disappointment is that support isn’t included. At $2,500 per year, having to pay extra for assistance feels out of step with the investment. The program is excellent, but built‑in support would make it a far better value.
> 
> My overall experience with the software so far is positive. The program is powerful, intuitive, and reliable for detailed CAD work, and it handles complex designs smoothly. &#10;With the program priced at $2,500 per year, having to pay extra for assistance felt disappointing. The software itself is excellent, but including support would make the investment feel more complete.

### "Wow Rendering Factor\!" — 5.0/5

> **CHARLES** | *11 March 2025* | Architecture & Planning | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Realistic rendering that replicates the space as envisioned. I also appreciate the fact that several materials and interior selections are available for me to use in the design. I am practically limited by my imagination.
> 
> **Cons**: Nothing of significance that I can highlight at this moment.
> 
> My experience has been fabulous. The entire transition has been seamless. Thank you so much\!

### "It is okay at best." — 2.0/5

> **Patrick** | *26 February 2025* | Building Materials | Recommendation rating: 2.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The program has many features. It also has the ability to do a very nice and realistic 3D rendering.
> 
> **Cons**: I have used the 2020 software for many years and it was great until the new interface. I am not sure what happened but the the new system is vey buggy and the drag feature will often lose contol and the cabinet will disappear or just plain drop off the grid and reappear when doing a renering.
> 
> I have been a Kitchen Designer fo more than 20 years. It works okay but it is not my first choice. I truthfully get so angry at the bugs that I am not happy with the purchase.
