Complex PCB Designing Platform/tool by Altium
What do you like best about the product?
Most helpful feature about Altium designer for us that it's different integrations and collaboration with various CAD tools such as MCAD and ECAD for mechanical and electrical product designing. Other features that I personally like schematic diagrams for PCB designing and various footprint files for components. And simulation of design models.
What do you dislike about the product?
Complexity of uses but overtime and experience no issues great tooo for simulation design testing.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Business problem such as 3d MID and MCAD designing. High speed performance.
Overall Good
What do you like best about the product?
Flexibility, Wide Rage of Features, Professional Results, MCADCodesigner for Ecad-Mcad synchronization.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some bugs and quirks but most get corrected by subsequent product releases.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Allows us to generate professional looking documentation, Active BOM helps us keep up to date on supply chain issues
Always Improving
What do you like best about the product?
The thing I've liked best about Altium Designer is that I truly feel that they are working hard to improve the product for what the users want. Over the past few years I have submitted a few new ideas to their support team and nearly all of them are now in the product or in development.
Altium is definitely pushing the industry forward with their partnerships with great offerings such as MCAD, multi board design, and improved BOM tools. These new features are easy to use and provide immediate benefit to our workflow.

What do you dislike about the product?
None. It's so much better than other tools I've used.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
They are helping solve sourcing and compliance issues.
Cloud access works great for communicating design across multiple disciplines
What do you like best about the product?
Web access is helpful and the xprobing is seemless
What do you dislike about the product?
The file management of generating symbols/ footprints is not as straigntforward as it should be in my opinion.
The learning curve for knowing where all the appropriate buttons are can be daunting at first.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Documentation, versioning, and communication to team members is a strong point.
Altium Designer
What do you like best about the product?
Cross-checking between the schematic and pcb portions of designs is great. Libraries are easy to manage and there are many options for structuring and presenting them. Filtering objects and navigating the pcb is fantastic. (Layer/object visualization options). Project structuring is also very good. Export options, especially for BOMs, is great. The native scripting options, that allow access to almost every detail of every object, is excellent.
What do you dislike about the product?
Electrical spacing rules can't be applied to 3d bodies. This is important because we (and many other companies) have safety spacing rules to follow that can't be automatically enforced with the absence of this feature. Aligning 3d bodies and measuring in 3d is difficult. Documentation for scripting is almost non-existent.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It's improved our ability to hold to design rules more effectively, and has greatly improved our ability to integrate with our mechanical team.
Best I've used
What do you like best about the product?
Altium is a valued tool for our team. Using 365, we can easily share design details with non-designers. New features are added at a reasonable pace, such as the Harness design tool and Draftsman that allow documentation to be generated cleanly and efficiently.
The Altium team is responsive to tickets and provides coherent resolutions.
Passing design information to Ansys tools such as HFSS is straightforward and actively improving.

What do you dislike about the product?
Altium is expensive. There are occassional stability issues that will result in degraded performance, especially on low-spec hardware. When viewing large boards with a lot of layers and many 3D components the renderer does struggle.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Altium provides the capability to design PCBs and produce documentation to manufacture them successfully. Altium also provides simulation capability.
A daily driver for all of my PCB projects, Altium checks all of the boxes.
What do you like best about the product?
Altium is one of the most popular Printed Circuit Board design tools on the market and for good reason. In my daily use, it offers the advanced features I need for complex boards, powerful collaboration tools with my MCAD colleagues, and vendor integration that speeds up my design process. As the admin of our account I'm also happy with the user management, cloud management, and deployment processes, as well as the customer service we've received.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are a handful of bugs that need to be squashed and nuances in the UI that take some getting used to. After the learning curve, however, I think it's a great tool to have.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Altium is our primary PCB design tool.
Great for just about any level of design
What do you like best about the product?
The tight integration between the schematic and layout spaces makes importing changes between the two easy and intuitive. Almost all aspects of the design can be specified relatively easily. Design rules can be as simple or as complex as required using almost any element/feature of the components and primitives.
What do you dislike about the product?
Design reuse is a relatively newer feature that has evolved from design snippets that allows us to more easily reuse portions of both a schematic and layout in a new design. This feature is improving but still has a ways to go to be a major time saving feature.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Altium is the platform that we use to bring our electronic designs to life in a faster and more organized fashion.
Intuitive and easy to learn CAD tool
What do you like best about the product?
its easy to work on both schematic and layout at the same time. Layout design is intuitive and easy to learn, commands are straightforward and all activity can be one on one window. UI is easy to understand and helpful.
What do you dislike about the product?
technical support is subpar, there is no personal interaction with technical support team, all questions are directed to their website to summit tickets and wait for answer which can take long.
they also ask to look in to their web log for solutions from other users, so one have to spend time looking for answers instead of getting a quick solution from an expert. Siim Im paying for subscriptin (which is not cheap) I would expect better technical support.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
even Altium is not our companys official CAD tool, we use it for quick prototyping and to generate 3D rendering of PCBs with components to share with ME team and confirm enclosure fitting. Its easy and straight forwared, no complex process to generate new parts, forwared anotation or gerber generation.
Best tool in the industry
What do you like best about the product?
The User interface is the best of all the eCAD tools. The 365 integration is essential for any business for managing libraries and processes
What do you dislike about the product?
Not much, however there needs to be continued effort in the 365 integration (ease of templates) and improved 365 support for new tools like harnessing. For an aerospace company, reducing the overhead and automating what can be standardized and controlled is essential.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
For teams, it is the best eCAD tool that allows engineers to manage their own CAD infrastructure.
