Cabinet Vision vs Mozaik – Which cabinet design software is better?

Video Outline

Intro

In this video we’re talking about which cabinet design software is better, Cabinet Vision or Mozaik. I’m going to give you three reasons why I now recommend Mozaik over Cabinet Vision.

Hey guys it’s Myron Wittmer, so before I get into the three reasons, let me first give you just a little background of my experience in the cabinet industry. So ever since I graduated high school, I’ve been working at different cabinet shops and I’ve actually helped cabinet shops get set up with CNC and cabinet design software’s, so I’ve had the opportunity to learn and use several different software’s including KCD, Cabinet Vision and Mozaik. Now, I have primarily used Cabinet Vision so the reason I’m telling you this is it’s not that I have some biased opinion because I started out on Mozaik and that’s why I like it better that’s not the case at all. I started out on Cabinet Vision, I know way more about Cabinet Vision than I do Mozaik. So using Cabinet Vision.. I love Cabinet Vision. I’m confident I can do anything I need to do in Cabinet Vision. So you’re probably wondering why I now recommend Mozaik over Cabinet Vision. So let’s get straight to that.

Company Direction

Reason number one, company direction. So Cabinet Vision is a huge company it started off privately owned but then Planet bought it, Vero bought it and now ultimately Hexagon owns it. So with such a large corporation it’s hard to really know who’s in charge and you just don’t feel as valued as a customer. Mozaik on the other hand has the small business mentality. Roger Taylor originally founded Cabinet Vision and then left there and a few years later started Mozaik. I love what he’s doing with Mozaik, making it affordable for the small to medium sized shops to have a nice solution. I have a lot of respect for that so when I think about company direction between Cabinet Vision and Mozaik. I’m a lot more excited for where Mozaik’s future is headed. I would highly encourage you to go to Mozaik’s website and look at their story page. Very fascinating and that’s a guy you want to do business with.

Easy To Customize

Reason number two, easy to customize. Cabinet Vision has a very big learning curve it’s really hard to use. Now it is very powerful you know when you have things like UCS’s, connections, and their construction manager.. you can do a lot of stuff with Cabinet Vision. The problem I see with that is if you’re a small to middle size shop you know you don’t have time to set a person aside to work on these things and this is where it makes it hard to even utilize Cabinet Vision. There’s a lot of people that aren’t happy with Cabinet Vision because they can’t get it to do what they needed to do and that’s a shame. So part of me wishes Cabinet Vision would do a little bit better job of making it come with a little more pre-configured packages rather than a blank slate but that’s them.

Affordable

Reason number three, affordable. Now this is my last reason because I don’t feel like you should make decisions based on cost alone but it certainly is a contributing factor. So Cabinet Vision is very expensive their upfront costs can cost you tens of thousands of dollars just to get licensed plus they have an annual maintenance fee. Mozaik on the other hand, they have a low monthly fee and no startup costs so you can really try it out at little to no risk. Plus you know you don’t have that huge upfront cost that really causes problems for a lot of shops, so Mozaik is the clear winner on affordable.

Okay guys that wraps up my three reasons why I recommend Mozaik over Cabinet Vision. I hope you found this video helpful whether you’re looking to buy cabinet design software for the first time or you’re looking to switch to Cabinet Vision or Mozaik.
