More human intervention for the data and more control over the design and best and easy and fast way to design. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
No proper procedure available for design of open building especially wind loads. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Input tool. You can easily edit the inputs of your file from the input dialog box and since it is a notepad file , the changes are seem less. Also repeat load and notional load commands in staad helps a lot. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

1) Complexity: Staad Pro is a highly advanced structural analysis and design software, which makes it a complex tool to learn and use. It requires a significant amount of training and expertise to effectively utilize all its features and functionalities. This can be challenging for beginners or those with limited technical knowledge.
2) Cost: Staad Pro is a commercial software and can be quite expensive, especially for small engineering firms or individual users. The cost of purchasing the software license and potential annual maintenance fees may be prohibitive for some users.
3) Limited compatibility: Staad Pro is primarily designed to work with Windows operating systems, which limits its compatibility with other platforms such as Mac or Linux. This can be a drawback for users who prefer or are accustomed to working on different operating systems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The most helpful part for me is the calculation part in the designing of any structure.
What really uplift me to use this software is at what ease you can implement if you know the basics of structure, manual formulas, then any structure will built up in minutes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like all steps that cover model creation, materials selection, loading and support design, and at end Analysis with final design proposals. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
You can't handle notes, beam and plate model like Auto CAD does. Polar coordinate systems etc.
You can't design with Aluminium structures with their codes ig. BS 8118 or AMD.
Floor diaphragm to apply on model is quite difficult still till date. Lots of steps required to achieve final results. Compared to Etabs much way better to operate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
STAAD.Pro is an excellent software for beginners as well as for industry professionals. For my academic project, I have used it as a beginner for the G+10 Stoery RC building and found it easy to use and can edit or modify easily. Newbies can work efficiently with this software even.
