Decor paradise at your fingertips. Personalizing a design is the finishing touch that will tug at your clients' heartstrings. Design Flex has native decorative cloud items and SketchUp integration to offer you all the decor you need to sell your designs with our designer kitchen and bath app. Our design software brings realism, speed and accuracy to space planning, allowing designers to retrieve all the information they need with one click. Presentation Features Design Flex is the only software in the industry to use our proprietary rendering engine, EZ Render. No more adding and adjusting lighting to get a realistic rendering. EZ Render automatically applies and calibrates the highest-quality lighting and true material finishes in a fraction of the time. That may sound great, but words don’t do this feature justice. In addition to EZ Render, Design Live will boost your presentations to the next level through: Stunning visuals with the right lighting effects and realistic textures. Fully immersive views with our 360° Panorama Multi-point feature. Unique collaboration and sharing options. More post-processing effects with new filters. Let your clients explore their future space through a 3D panoramic experience or immerse them even further in your designs through Virtual Reality glasses. With the 360 Panorama Multi-point feature, you can display your designs from multiple perspectives. Design Flex also makes sharing easy. Collaborate in real-time with your clients through the Live Share feature. And once they’re happy with the results, they’ll be able to post their 360 panoramic designs to social media to share with their friends. Design Features There’s nothing like Design Flex when it comes to design features. Through our interface, you can draw walls, windows, cabinets and ceilings with ease. And our smart design wizards are always there to help you place items like toekicks, moldings, doors and windows. You can even customize surface materials. But what really sets our design features apart is the way in which Design Live allows you to try multiple designs quickly and generate perspective views automatically — right from the plan. That means you can print plans with detailed dimensions and labels, ensuring you’re always on the same page as your installers and subcontractors. Streamlined Process Time is money. It’s an old adage, but one that's endured for a reason. To maximize the efficiency of your business operations, Design Live is streamlined to help designers make work processes flow as productively as possible. ## Quick Stats & Ratings | Metric | Rating | Detail | | **Overall** | **4.3/5** | 354 Reviews | | Ease of Use | 4.1/5 | Based on overall reviews | | Customer Support | 4.3/5 | Based on overall reviews | | Value for Money | 3.9/5 | Based on overall reviews | | Features | 4.2/5 | Based on overall reviews | | Recommendation percentage | 80% | (8/10 Likelihood to recommend) | ## About the vendor - **Company**: Cyncly - **Location**: Laval, Canada - **Founded**: 1987 ## Commercial Context - **Pricing model**: Per Feature - **Pricing Details**: Contact Cyncly for pricing information about Design Flex - **Target Audience**: Self Employed, 2–10, 11–50, 51–200, 201–500, 501–1,000, 1,001–5,000, 5,001–10,000, 10,000+ - **Deployment & Platforms**: Cloud, SaaS, Web-based, Windows (Desktop) - **Supported Languages**: English - **Available Countries**: Anguilla, Antigua & Barbuda, Aruba, Bahamas, Barbados, Belize, Bermuda, British Virgin Islands, Canada, Cayman Islands, Costa Rica, Cuba, Curaçao, Dominica, Dominican Republic, El Salvador, Grenada, Guadeloupe, Guatemala, Haiti and 17 more ## Features - 3D Imaging - BIM Modeling - Billing & Invoicing - Bills of Material - Contact Management - Data Visualisation - Design Management - Document Management - Document Storage - For AEC Industry - Planning Tools - Presentation Tools - Project Workflow - Quotes/Estimates - Summary Reports - Task Management - Task Progress Tracking - Task Scheduling - Template Management - Timesheet Management ## Integrations (1 total) - SketchUp ## Support Options - Email/Help Desk - FAQs/Forum - Knowledge Base - Phone Support - Chat ## Category - [Architecture Design Software](https://www.getapp.co.nz/directory/529/architecture/software) ## Alternatives 1.

The ease of use makes my job easier and that means I can produce designs at a quicker pace. > > **Cons**: The only thing that really holds me back on 2020 Design Live is it's quirky bugs that once you learn what they are you can work around them by not performing the things that make it act up. > > Using 2020 Design Live has streamlined our estimating process by allwoing us to design and price the product simultaneously. ----- ### "Kitchen designs that make our life easier" — 5.0/5 > **Gabriel** | *7 March 2025* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Its rendering quality and how it has the catalogs of the manufactures we sell > > **Cons**: Cost, its priced higher than prokitchens > > its been going well, training is excellent ----- ### "Disappointed with price." — 2.0/5 > **Paul** | *3 February 2025* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: I used to like the availability of manufacturer catalogs at a reasonable price. > > **Cons**: To access catalogs from cabinet manufacturers, you now have to upgrade. The use of manufacturer catalogs was the main reason I use 2020. Now it is price prohibitive. > > Service was fast, but overall the were not able to resolve my issue without me paying more. ----- ### "Kitchen and Bath Designer" — 4.0/5 > **Jen** | *7 August 2024* | Building Materials | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: 2020 Design Live allows me to show customers what their new project is going to look like. DL is easy to use with multiple lines. > > **Cons**: Sometimes the lighting effects take forever to get correct in the perspective view. > > I have been happy with Design Live and what it allows me to offer to my customers. The recent improvements with perspectives is huge to me. ----- ### "Over 20 Years using 2020/Cyncly" — 4.0/5 > **Andrea** | *1 July 2024* | Design | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: It looks like the 3D render is better and there are more tile and countertop selections. > > **Cons**: Now that 3D design is so life like, customers want to see their selections in the 3D renders. 2020/Cyncly has limitations when creating additional spaces in the home where customers add cabinetry. Like archways and specialty areas in the kitchens and other rooms. It's hard to make the renders look realistic > > I have used the 2020 program for over 21 years. So, it has really come a long way and they offer tons of manufacturer catalogs for designing. Overall I like the new 3D renders and additional items offered with the Design Live that you can import or bring into your layouts. ----- Page: 1 / 15\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.co.nz/software/2048910/2020-design-live?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.co.nz/software/2048910/2020-design-live) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | 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 | | ----- ## Structured Data
