Self-employed contractor
What do you like best about the product?
The ability to share designs and production files in a simple web interface makes collaborating with clients who don't know electronics design or don't have a license so much better.
What do you dislike about the product?
The software update cadence is excessive and while new features and bug fixes are great, the amount that we deal with lack of backwards campatibilty is really frustrating. If not all team members are updating their release at the same cadence, we run into problems. Even hardware when we share files with customers who have a completely different update schedule.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The ability to design complex PBCAs with the ability to automate many portions of the design while maintaining the ability to create very intricate design elements with a high level of design control.
All in one solution for PCB board design and implementation
What do you like best about the product?
All-in-one solution for PCB board design and implementation with easy-to-use features and integration with other softwares.
What do you dislike about the product?
Learning curve is a little steep if you are a new designer.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Allows me to create complex schematics and PCBs for prototype and production uses.
Highly Capable and Scalable
What do you like best about the product?
Flexibility of subscription based pricing and features was great for our small business - allowing premium functionality, sharing, revision control - all while maintaining the options for seamless growth. For those already familiar with Altium - the ease of use and features is premium. There is a learning curve (as with any software of this complexity/ number of features) and planning for appropriate training of users is a must.
What do you dislike about the product?
Pricing is premium compared to many other options. I can't speak to the functionality and other factors of thoes other options - we chose to stay with what was working for us rather than risk decreased productivity or possibly non-functionality of switching to a different software.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Altium has enabled rapid revisions, prototyping, and production at a pace we only dreamed of prior to incorporating Altium into our workforce- easily 1/10th the time to iterate PCBA revisions.
Altium is cool, though I still dream of KiCAD

Is Altium 365 different from Altium designer?
AD just works, especially the robustness of the version control system is nice.
The rules system is very strong and with a bit of fiddling I can express anything I want.

What do you dislike about the product?
However, it is heavy and not as flexible as I would like. When a usecase not forseen by your software developers arises there is often no way to handle it.

Changing main Schematic and Layout Tools to Altium
What do you like best about the product?
Altium designer allows schematic capture and layout tools to be combined into a single solution. Data flow from schematics to Bill of Materials to 3D data is easier than ever.
What do you dislike about the product?
No tool is ever perfect and quite a bit of data must still be entered in for differential signals and impedance calculations
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Faster time from design to final PCB design
A365 is great
What do you like best about the product?
Aside from being a convenient and effective way of communicating and sharing aspects of designs within my company, i use it all the time as a quick reference for my PCBs/schematics, instead of loading the Altium application and project fully. It's really convenient with a fast internet connection to pop on and take a look at something.
We use it as the file master for our projects so everyoens projects are up to date with the latest pushes. We've had 0 problems with colleagues being off track with shared projects.

What do you dislike about the product?
On the altium desktop application I can highlight a hole net of traces, or shift click and highlight multiple unlike nets/elements/components. If I need to do that I use the application instead of the 365 website
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
keeping the whole team updated and communicating
Common place to leave comments and feedback
Common place to leave comments and feedback
Amazing and easy to use.
What do you like best about the product?
Altium 365 allows a multfaceted tool set to accomplish task easily and concurently. It has a good amount of add-ons that add expanded capabilities no other competitors have. Alitum makes it easy to organize workloads and to enable easy callaboration between teams. Easy to implement new designs from beginning to end.
What do you dislike about the product?
Add-ons such as EMI tools are quiet pricey but those are not used by all altium users. Minor UI enchancements are needed but alitum takes feedback versy seriously and continues to improve the software.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Offers inhouse organization of projects and releases. Also offers the ability to create mechanical drawing for mechanical team mate of a new product and product changes.
I have been using and enjoying Altium designer for nearly 10 years.
What do you like best about the product?
The all in one schematic capture, library, PCB suite is very nice.
What do you dislike about the product?
The move to a cloud based subscription structure has had a negative impact on the usability in my opinion. It seems like updates and "feature enhancements" are just pushed so the users don't feel like their money is being wasted, however they don't really provide much value, or in my case the exact opposite of value. Also the documentation is now really bad. 2017 and prior had awesome docs. 2018 and on the doc's seem to be written by software engineers, not actual hardware engineers that use and truly understand the features.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
schematic capture and PCB design.
Altium356 review - An excellent PCB hardware designer tool.
What do you like best about the product?
I have been using this pcb design tool. I would say it's one of the most advance tool I have ever used for hardware designing for electronics product. You have amazing integration that I personally like such as ECAD. Library management has everything that you need for pcb elements. CoDesigning one of the great feature for mechanical engineering.
What do you dislike about the product?
Complexity of using it if your new to this tool. But don't worry User technical documentation is there to help you. It's fully guided documentation I have ever seen for pcb designing tool.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Benefiting us in a way of product hardware designing. Like pcb, mcad. Fast hardware production.
Usability of Altitum
What do you like best about the product?
Components selection and market stock integration.
What do you dislike about the product?
Subscription fee too high so, many people can't to afford it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Time saving during components selection for my product while keeping a eye on a availablity of the part.
