What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Altium enabled me to design a PCB for driving a microprocessor, sensors, and motors on a high-powered rocket as a reseach project for my university rocket team. This enabled the team to collaborate collectively on a complex electronics system, which ended up working as intended on the first try thanks to the altium software.
High quality, comprehensive PCB design tool
What do you like best about the product?
It's an industry standard PCB design tool rather than tools for hobbiest. Teaching Altium Designer to my engineering students showcase the rigor and quality of our new BS-Engineering program. It will help students in finding internship and employment.
The Altium Education curriculum is well-designed. Free student accounts and free access to the curriculum including a project are valuable to university engineering education.

What do you dislike about the product?
Steep learning curve. So many menu items, options, hot keys, etc. It takes a long time to become experienced.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I teach Altium Designer to engineering students in a Computer Aided Engineering Design course.
Highly Detailed and Intuitive CAD Software for PCB Design.
What do you like best about the product?
My favorite things about Altium designer is its intuitive platform and relatively easy to use features. From my experience of Altium, I would say that it has a relatively steep learning curve (compared to other software I have used). The curve is very rewarding however. If someone learning Altium takes the time to learn all of the keyboard shortcuts and hidden (but necassary) features, the time and effort that goes into PCB design can be cut in half.
I especially like the Altium 365 environment. It has enabled me and my team to work colaboratively together on many projects. My superiors are able to view and comment on my work remotely. This is very helpful for a team scenario.
I also really like the "Manufacturer Part Search" feature. With previous softwares I have used, every component needs to be loaded separately which creates a whole file management nightmare and takes a lot of time. The ability to have many common components already on altium is very refreshing and saves a bunch of time.

What do you dislike about the product?
One thing I would say that can be improved is adding more components to the "Manufacturer Part Search." Another thing, which may be a little niche for my scenario, is making the software somewhat easier to navigate without a mouse. I work a lot from my laptop and do not always have a mouse with me. Right clicking and dragging on a mouse pad is incredibly obnoxious (mostly the laptop designers fault not altium). My only other suggestion comes when defining board size. Recently I needed a board that was exactly 50mm x 50mm. It can be really hard to draw lines that are exactly a certain size. My solution was to set the grid size to 1mm and just figure it out. It could be cool to have a display of how long your line drawings are or the dimensions of the figure you have drawn.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It is helping use solve being able to design and manufacture PCB's quicker. It has many features and rules to use that help us make PCB's exactly what we want.
Experience with Altium 365
What do you like best about the product?
-Best thing about Altium 365 is its web interface
-It allow collebration with differents developers
-Provide a interactive and easy to understanding type user interface is provided by Altium 365
-Next thing is version control is always very helpfull for a devloper
- Documentation are always be a good guider to resolve the problems and for get a path to make things possible so, thatwhy i this i don't need any customer support
-Best part is integration with 3D shapes
-Before altium I used almost every pcb designing software but when i start using altium that provide a amazing experience now, i am use altium frequently.
Altium Designer is known for its intuitive and unified design environment, which significantly enhances productivity of devs that is the ease of implementation of Altium 365.

What do you dislike about the product?
So many times i face a issue with altium 365 that is
Project sharing, altium allow devs to share project using URL but that not in working it reflects an error for that was need customer support.
one more thing altium is a very heavy software local system are not capable to use it frequently if web application is also provided then i think that will a best thing for user.
Altium needs to provide more content on simulation and VLSI designing.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am basically a developer i used to design PCB with Altium
I think best part of altium 365 is varsion control and ability to project sharing using URl

Electrical Engineer, started using Altium during academia now using it for professional work
What do you like best about the product?
The ability to manage libraries, create templates, project lifecycles, and effortlessly grant access to other users to view/edit the documents based on the roles.
What do you dislike about the product?
The cost of using the tool is a bit high.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The ability to create a collaborative environment is a big plus of A365. Only Altium is thinking intensively in that direction to make a collaborative space between EE, ME, project managers, etc.
Sharing files with ease to other designers is a use case for myself using Altium 365.

Altium Designer Review
What do you like best about the product?
I enjoyed learning Altium Designer and it was easy to learn with the amount of resources that are offered with Altium Education. I was able to learn the software and am able to distinguish myself from others with a certificate given in Altium Education.
What do you dislike about the product?
I really like Altium Designer but I think it would be great if the rules menu was redone to make things a bit more clear. There are a lot of design rules and it is daunting to go through all of those. Maybe if there was more detail and explanation of the design rules it wouldn't be as tedious.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I really like that Altium Designer has incorporated automatic solvers in the software. Things like impedance match making or differential pairs when pcb designing.
A very good tool for professional PCB-Design
What do you like best about the product?
Altium is rather easy to handle and the controls can all be managed through Shortcut-Keys. With design rules you can easily implement the first instance of a Project. Furthermore, the videos for the first use Customer Support are very handy. Even though there are very much videos and explanations, I am still missing the explanation videos for specific tools. The integration of the pcb to 3D-Model is a little more complicated due to the need to install a package for yourself but the rest is easy again.
What do you dislike about the product?
That there is no License for private use. Especially when you want to make own Project to keep the usage frequency at a certain level.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
First and foremost it is helping me understand the principles of PCB-Design and all the features that Altium Designer features.
hard start, easy future
What do you like best about the product?
everything is connected, everything is editable locally or globally and after a while ... short-cut
What do you dislike about the product?
perhaps the managment of the output (unify the panel ?)
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
easy flow to pcb realiztion with many plus (bom 3d ...)
