It is easy for most things. Things mostly just work. But not the most flexible experience.
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to use.
Easy to share even to accounts without a license.
The Online Viewer is really good.
The "Save to server" option is the best for just pushing your work without any additional hustle.
it is easy to review a Project and leave comments to the designer.

What do you dislike about the product?
The severs had few maintainence periods during my use which rendered the service completly useless.
It was impossible for me to transfer the ownership of my workspace to another member who had a license.
I couldn't get help from customer support because "I had a student license" which ,even though I am thankful for, makes me unable to even review their customer support.
Designing components and then uploading them to the workspace wasn't the best experience unlike designing PCBs.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Altium 365 with my technical team in which I am the head of the hardware Subteam. Previously, sharing project was by just sending the design files which is really not the best thing to do or by using github which is really good for the job except the fact that you can't preview a PCB and you cann't easily leave comments to other designers.
Altium 365 helped me and my colleages to just review all the projects the team was doing .

Beginner designing his first PCB
What do you like best about the product?
The live BOM was easy to use and effective to spot missing or wrong components. Comments are easy to use and flexible. Version history is well implemented, and the possibility to restore previous version is very useful.
What do you dislike about the product?
I had some troubles adding components to the shared library when importing components through the samacsys tool, but perhaps is my fault. Sometimes it was hard to identify solutions to some problem, just by looking at the documentation, but likely is due to the large amount of information, that may shadow the relevant ones.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I used it for around 6 months, as part time activity in a university association in collaboration with a team of 2/3 people. My role was to design the circuits to control the power sources of a hydrogen fueled catamaran, to run at a international boat competition.
Altium allowed to carry out the design, and editing other team mate's schematics very easi due to the cloud based structure.

Brings the development of products to a next level
What do you like best about the product?
I like the easy usablity that allows, and for people like me that we are working very deeply with HW and SW development, it allows me to review and consult the schematics and layout that HW team does without having it installed in my PC. I really love to access directly with a browser without needed anything else.
What do you dislike about the product?
Maybe it lacks some features of the desktop version, but for me they are not needed.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Acessing the altium projects without the need of installing the desktop version.
As a system engineer, Altium 365 has improved my accessibility to the electronics schematics design.
What do you like best about the product?
As a system engineer, I use Altium 365 to review designs, define HW/SW interfaces, and check for production errors.
- It is a common workspace to locate all PCB designs, with an integrated schematic and layout viewer. There is no need to request additional permissions for internal project folders to access the design data or review the documentation released to production.
- As I typically use Altium to review schematics and layouts, having the option to use altium 365 allows me to access the design schematics more frequently, as opening the browser is much faster than opening tha Altium application.
-Cross Probe function (to locate the traces assigned to a schematic net) is easier to use than on the Altium application.

What do you dislike about the product?
- The management of BOM variants should be clearer to avoid schematic misinterpretations. Sometimes, when reviewing a schematic, a mount variant is not selected, and not-mounted resistors appear as mounted, leading to misinterpretations. I think having a default BOM variant selected when opening Altium 365 (different than the "[No Variations]" variant) would avoid confusion when reviewing the schematics.
- Altium 356 should have management of PCB revisions. Currently, we are managing revisions with a suffix on the design folder, and if we want to switch revisions, we need to go to the shared folder and find the required revision. Having the option to move between revisions on the same project view would make this process effortless.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Altium 365 is a common workspace were we upload the PCB designs for out products and share it among all our collegues.
Having an integrated schematic and layout viewer, allows us to review different electronic designs easily without the need to have permissions to acces each project folders, this speeds up the design and review process.
Typicaly software and FPGA developers do not have Altium installed on their computers and this tool allows them to check PCB design as if they were using Altium application.
Before having this tool available, we were using pdf prints with their limitations (it was difficult to jump between schmatic sheets while following a electronic design spread out between multiple sheets).

A Game Changer for Collaborative PCB Design
What do you like best about the product?
As an electrical engineer with several years of experience in PCB design, I was eager to explore Altium 365, a cloud-based platform designed to streamline electronic design collaboration. Over the past six months, I've had the opportunity to integrate Altium 365 into our design workflow, and I'm excited to share my thoughts on its performance mainly on cloud-based integration and robust version control which quite useful when working on a team-work based projects.
What do you dislike about the product?
The only cons of using Altium 365 could be the learning time at the beginning which can be long for someone who just started.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
as a group of enginners working on a prohect, Altium 365 has transformed how we collaborate. Communication among team members has become more efficient, and our design reviews are more productive, thanks to real-time collaboration features.
Great platform with not many users
What do you like best about the product?
Altium 365's design courses helped me so much as an engineering student. They helped me design circuits in areas I have no expertise in.
What do you dislike about the product?
Customer support is very weak in my opinion. My student license was cancelled a few months ago and all my attempts of connecting to anyone were failed. To my understanding, there is no local Altium representative in Turkey.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
A designer containing both a very well working simulation engine and a very easy to use design environment is much needed for everyone involved in PCB and product design.
Great PCB design software
What do you like best about the product?
The best parts about altium, is the wide availability of help articles, the online collaboration tools, and the active BOM, allowing for easier ordering of materials.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes having too many options can be confusing, especially if you don't use the software daily for work, like in my case.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I'm using Altium to design PCBs to verify concepts for academic research. The software allows me to customize everything that is required (even soldermask/paste layers), and allows easy collaboration with colleagues. Exporting PCBs for FEA simulations is also simple thanks to their own exporting tools.
Just what I needed
What do you like best about the product?
The shortcuts and designer oriented software
What do you dislike about the product?
The price, and dificulties to access it as a PhD student
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Pcb design for prototyping
Collaborating with Altium 365
What do you like best about the product?
We have a geographically diverse team of engineers at my company. Being able to collaborate with a cloud-based system is ideal for an efficient design process. On-the-fly design reviews occur naturally as other engineers look over new material being created daily.
As with all Atium products the the processes are intuitive and easy to use.

What do you dislike about the product?
I had a little trouble locating shared files at first
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The platform solves long-distance collarboration. It makes efficient use of engineering efforts separated by many time zone hours.
Pretty satisfied with Altium 365
What do you like best about the product?
The best thing about Altium 365 is the fact that it facilitates the team work in the company that has electrical/mechanical engineers working together to build a product.
Also, another think I like very much is that it makes the PCB reviews in the team much more effective.

What do you dislike about the product?
The thing that is sometime bothering is the errors that we get, mostly when we clone a project with a different name. The error messages aren't very helpful in debugging. These aren't common, but when they happen they need some time to figure out how to make things right again.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
For us, Altium 365 is very helpful il the PCB review process when all team members have access to the review panels and they can easily put their comments and track if they've been resolved or not.
Also, our mechanical team uses the MCAD for checking the assemblies and avoid any mistake.
