A well rounded and complete software solution even to get started with no experience
What do you like best about the product?
Started using Altium when it was called DXP (Design Explorer) to complete a project at School. It was mostly self learned and did not received formal training and within a couple of weeks I was successfully capturing schematics and making PCB layouts. Altium is very intuitive and easy to use, but at the same time very powerful. The power and complexity doesn't get in the way of the interface and the ease of use. The library tools, to create schematic symbols and footprints is excellent, very easy to use. It gives me all the flexibility to design the footprint based on the application and manufacturing requirements.
What do you dislike about the product?
I can't think of any negative on the software itself. I would like to see a more seamless integration for footprint providers like Ultra-librarian or SnapEDA. The import of models can be a bit of a hassle sometimes. Overall, it's a great software.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As a small business owner, I can't afford to outsource the design of certain components of our products so we design them in-house. Altium, easily allows us to capture the schematic and create a PCB that we can send out to manufacture. The generation of the Gerber files is quite powerful and easy to use. Making changes is very easy and straight forward. The ability of customize the design rules and the way the software highlights and adjust the PCB traces to fulfill the constraints is very helpful, it makes the design so much easier and we really value that feature. The Layer management is very good as well, as we do a QC at the end of the design to make sure everything is within spec, we can filter easily highlight the layers and work on the layers one at a time. The schematic to PCB cross probe is also amazing, highlighting the traces/nets on the PCB as they are selected in the Schematic.
Altium has been my daily companion for 18+ years
What do you like best about the product?
Generally, Altium gets the job done in all aspects of a design process, schematics, parts selection, PCB layout, BOM and release generation and visibility to others through 365.
What do you dislike about the product?
Support, especially through chat, has gotten worse over time.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Helps us to quickly design and release PCBs related to our products.
Best PCB layout software
What do you like best about the product?
Altium is the best software I had used in my 10 years of experience as an electronic engineer. I use it daily in my projects due to its easy schematics drawing, footprint upload and pcb layout and routing.
What do you dislike about the product?
I think the circuit simulator could be improved.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Creating pcb designs.
A Robust Tool with Some Learning Curve
What do you like best about the product?
Its flexibility, advanced simulation capabilities, and collaboration features make it a powerful tool for both individual engineers and larger teams.
What do you dislike about the product?
Can be tough for beginners with its steep learning curve, high system demands, and tricky documentation, plus it’s pretty resource-heavy and expensive for smaller teams.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Altium Designer solves the headache of juggling multiple tools by bringing everything together in one place, making it way easier to collaborate, catch mistakes early, and speed up the design process.
A robust tool with real tradeoffs.
What do you like best about the product?
What I like most about Altium 365 is its seamless cloud-based collaboration, which allows real-time teamwork on PCB designs, version control, and easy access from anywhere. The unified platform integrates design, component management, and manufacturing workflows, making the entire electronics development process more efficient.
What do you dislike about the product?
What I dislike about Altium 365 is its steep learning curve making it hard for beginners the high cost which can be a barrier for small teams and hobbyists the reliance on a strong internet connection limiting offline work and occasional slowdowns with large complex designs
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
PCB design collaborating on team projects accessing component libraries and testing circuits before manufacturing while developing professional skills
This keeps it clear and concise in a single sentence as requested focusing on key student benefits without bullet points

great collaboration for design and planning teams.
What do you like best about the product?
Altium enables a great and amazing collaboration between out internal planning team and external. Has real time sharing and version where we can control with my teammates which keeps everyone aligned.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is some problem in syncing large files which sometimes take time to load.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Planning of tech enabled properties, by centralising all design related inputs, which has helped us improve our project accuracy with our team.
Amazing designing platform
What do you like best about the product?
It has lot of features to use, helps to collaborate easily as it allows multiple designer to work on one project. Created recent work schematics with my team members.
What do you dislike about the product?
Little difficult to use, but with right direction its manageable. sometimes it doesn't sync with cloud system.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
3d models I used 1-2 times it was easy and and the live view is great for presenting in presentation.The layouts are amazing also the models we create comes out so flawless.
Easy to use software with excellent interface.
What do you like best about the product?
Component library is customisable and very easy to use.
What do you dislike about the product?
Switching between PCB layers can be a bit confusing/annoying, especially when using vias.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Makes PCB design very fast and helps find errors that may occur in manufacturing.
Altium 365 recommondation
What do you like best about the product?
1. we do not need to make or attach symbol over and over again if we have made a templete.
2. we can organise components by giving their types and catagories.
3. we can search any component by any parameter given.
4. it is easy to get any component in project.

What do you dislike about the product?
we can not see how much space (in MB or GB) we have used.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Altium 365 has reduced the time of using and creating a component. it is very useful while we are using same parts in different projects.
it provides us a whole library we can use any component we want in any project easily. it is good to use centralised library.

Efficient, collaborative PCB design in the cloud. Altium 365 has made remote collaboration on PCB.
What do you like best about the product?
The real-time collaboration and version control features are incredibly helpful. I love how easy it is to share design files with team members and get immediate feedback. The integration with Altium Designer makes the transition to cloud-based workflows smooth and intuitive.
What do you dislike about the product?
The initial learning curve can be steep, especially when transitioning from purely local workflows. Also, occasional syncing issues can cause minor delays, and the pricing might be a bit high for smaller teams or individual users.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Altium 365 is solving the challenge of team-based PCB design by enabling seamless collaboration, centralized data management, and real-time project updates. Instead of emailing design files back and forth or dealing with version conflicts, my team and I can work on the same project from anywhere, with full visibility into changes. This has greatly reduced miscommunication, sped up our development cycle, and improved overall productivity.
