Allows my team to create custom solutions for aero applications. Allows teammates to share and collaborate on projects easily.
Straightforward and easy to use, lots of features and lots of resources.
What do you like best about the product?
I like how it's user friendly and easy to navigate.
What do you dislike about the product?
In some of the versions, the layout design rules location cahnged.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Altium has the feature where you can make a workspace and you can view your projects online. It also has version control which is really helpful for working with other people on a project!
Altium pros and cons
What do you like best about the product?
Many well-built features including the PCB design itself, simulation, built-in library etc.
Really great resources for students/professionals trying to learn how to use the software
Has cloud features for working in a team, can be handy

What do you dislike about the product?
Price is prohibitive, hard to justify when free tools exist that suit many smaller-scale projects just fine
Can be a little resource intensive to run
Can be a little resource intensive to run
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Designing simple 2 or 4 layer boards for prototyping sensors, power distribution etc. that are custom to the application.
powerful software but confusing at first
What do you like best about the product?
A lot of functionality, once you get the hang of how to use it it's clearly the best PCB design software
What do you dislike about the product?
High learning curve to get started using altium
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Designing PCBs
Altium 365 enhances an already great product
What do you like best about the product?
Altium 365 has been amazing for collaboratively working on projects with other engineers for schematic and printed circuit board design. It is a feature I found myself frequently using to share files and easily fit into my workflow as an experienced Altium Design user. As a user the integration was easy as an admin had already set it up and I was just using it as an extra tool or plugin almost to Altium.
What do you dislike about the product?
One of the downsides is the requirement to use Altium Designer. This can make sense if a project or team has alaready stnadardized to Altium but can be a hassle for bringing others onboard, especially newer Altium users.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It solves the problem of collaborating on a complex project while maintaining version control. Myself and other engineers can easily edit schematics and layouts in the same project without a fear of overwriting or not checking out work properly.
Better than others
What do you like best about the product?
It is the industry standard so being proficient in it is going to help. There are so many features that free softwares don't have and I'm glad I have access to Altium Designer.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish it was as good as LTspice for simulation.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I can easily view other designs of members on the Altium Workspace and collaborate. Additionally, design verification tools are extremely helpful.
Streamlined PCB Design with Powerful Tools and Intuitive Interface
What do you like best about the product?
Altium Designer's integrated environment is incredibly powerful, allowing for seamless transitions between schematic capture, PCB layout, and simulation. The extensive component libraries and advanced routing tools save a lot of time, and the 3D visualization is excellent for checking design accuracy before manufacturing.
What do you dislike about the product?
While Altium Designer is feature-rich, the learning curve can be steep for new users, and some of the more advanced features require a significant time investment to master. Additionally, the software can be resource-intensive, which might cause slower performance on older machines.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Altium Designer is solving the challenge of managing complex PCB designs by providing a unified platform that integrates all aspects of the design process, from schematic capture to layout and simulation. This integration reduces errors and design time, allowing me to complete tasks faster with greater confidence in their reliability. The ability to collaborate with fellow team members and track design changes also enhances productivity and ensures that the final product meets all specifications.
Good
What do you like best about the product?
The free student license is good for students to learn.
What do you dislike about the product?
Constraint manager is kinda finicky, not very clear on how it should be used.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Student engineering design teams, learning about circuit design and hardware design, getting me internships.
Altium used by RC Plane Avionics
What do you like best about the product?
One thing I like about Altium is how quick it is to create PCBs. The workflow makes sense, and all the integrated tools such as the impedence calculator, manufacturers part search, and the ease of symbol and footprint creation through their tools have been great so far for the boards that I have manufactured.
What do you dislike about the product?
The newly added constraint manager that is the default choice for design rules is somewhat annoying, and people should be given the choice to either use the design rules system that they implemented before, or to be allowed to switch between the two. It's hard to import design rules from before that I know work, and once you realise too late, it's a hassle to copy everything to the other project.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Altium is helping us to create the PCBS on the avionics system of our plane which includes connector, power distribution, and sensors.
Best in Class Product.
What do you like best about the product?
Altium has it all from simulation software to intricate Design rule checks. The complete customizability and advacned features that are offered make alitum the best CAD program for PCB design. Altium provides an easy to use interface. My favorite feature is the ability to add design constraints to my PCB layout to ensure I am within specification and never second guess my work. With proper setup, my layouts can be flawless. I use this software every day and still find new ways that altium helps elevate my designs. The cloud features are great and allow me to track any design updates as well as go back on revisions if i need to. The ease of implenting my designs and exporting them to manufucturers is great. I am able to integrate the manufacturer into altium which allows for easy access to my fab files.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some of the menus within altium can be hard to navigate. My least favorite feature is the project releaser feature. While it has great functionality, I find it confusing and convoluded. I also dislike the the fact that I cannot change the name of my releases. Once you make your intiil release you are stuck with that name.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Altium for all of my PCB designs. There is no reason to use anything else. Altium is in-depth and easy to use.
