EE in the Medical Device industry with 27 years of experience.
What do you like best about the product?
You can use the basic features without much training.
What do you dislike about the product?
Advanced features can be difficult to figure out.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have multiple PCBAs in our medical device and I am the only EE doing these designs. Altium is the package of choice for official boards that go in our Quality System.
Altium Designer is an easy to learn, full feature electronics design package.
What do you like best about the product?
I find that Altium designer is easy and always has been easy to learn and use. We have been using Altium products since the PCAD days and have a appreciated every version since then. Outside of high performance signal integrity tools ; I don't know why you would consider using another product. We have 16 designers who use Altium designer every day; plus technicans who use the Altium designer to diagnose repair issues.
What do you dislike about the product?
The least helpful part about Altium is the support. Even as a paying customer on maintenance it is difficult to get timely support on issues, routine or otherwise. Thankfully the the number of times we have needed support is small.
One specific feature that I used to love about Altium designer is the FPGA component, which facilitated easy pin swapping and sync'ing to top level HDL and constraint files. I was very dissapointed when that feature was discontinued.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Altium designer is the easiest package to onboard new engineers into; and get them designing quickly.
You don't need to know all the features to be initially productive ; and over time can learn more complex features to increase your efficiency.

Very Happy Long Time User
What do you like best about the product?
I've used Altium since 1998 and have had very good experience with it. I like that it is constantly updating and growing as technology improves. I've done projects as simple as a two layer PCB, 8 layer PCB, 3-layer flex circuits and multi-layer rigid flex with good results.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some of the flex circuit or rigid flex stuff is still pretty new and needs work.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Altium for all of our circuit board design work...including legacy conversions and import of PCAD designs.
Easy to learn, easy to use, and powerful EE CAD tool
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to learn and use. Well developed online user documentation and tutorials on the core features of the tool, as well as advanced features. Good amount of cross-platform integration with other organizonal tools such as PLM tools. Altium 365 has been a major feature improvment providing easy access to drive user adoption (espeically frequency of use for non-EE users) and significantly helped with implementation within the organization.
What do you dislike about the product?
I would love to see additional capabilities built into Altium that helps with modeling optical, power, and thermal for running simulation in conjunction with other tools such as MCAD (Creo and Solidworks) and optical CAD (Zemax).
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Deliver electrical schematic and PCB design. Package design output in consistant way. Verification of component cost and availability early in the development process.
Altium Designer User Review
What do you like best about the product?
In general, the user interface is very good, the tool set is extensive and updates are easy to install. The customer support is generally good.
I frequently use it for all of our companies hardware designs. Designs are easy to implement and the integration with mechanical cad is good.

What do you dislike about the product?
Altium is slow to fix bugs and the feedback about bug fixes is poor. I feel they should make the tools that they have implemented work before adding new features. The Active BOM tool is a great idea but it is not implemented in a fashion that covers all use cases.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It allows us to effiecently design circuits and pcb's.
Awesome but pricey
What do you like best about the product?
All the options available and easy of use
What do you dislike about the product?
Price, taking advantage of lack of competing products
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The problems that you would expect when doing PCB design

What do you dislike about the product?
Ease of Intergration, Ease of Implementation

Printed Circuit Board Design
Most comprehensive PCb design tool!
What do you like best about the product?
The ease of use is the primary advatage of Alitum designer! The options and menus are very logically laid out and allow for seamless work flow . For me, manufacturers part search is such a time saver! A great online support platform really adds to the experience.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are a few times when the Altium designer is not able to correctly read the files and associate them under a project. This usually occurs when a software update is done.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Altium designer in almost all of our electronics projects for desiging custom PCBs for our clients. It is certaily one of the best PCB tools I have used.
Altium Designer for PCB Design
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to use interface and great workflow tools with Altium 365. Very easy to collaborate on one or many parts.
What do you dislike about the product?
We're able to handle most tasks with the Standard version. Wanted to connect to some of our Enterprise tools to manage users, but that requries an update to Enterprise licensing for which we really dont get any value outside of the LDAP/AD integration. So manual user management becomes the default for this set of tools.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
With a large set of tools from most CAD vendors, Altium Designer makes PCB design and PCB workflow manegement very easy.
The most progressive ECAD design tool out there! Altium is always making improvements.
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to use and has a feature for every option. Interface is very user-friendly and has a lot of options and rules. The support is always available and very helpful. They solved my problem every time.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes way too many options, almost wish there was an Altium-Lite version
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Altium Designer provides advanced visualization tools, such as 3D visualization and clearance checking, that help designers identify and resolve potential mechanical conflicts and clearance issues.
