"Best PCB Design Software with advanced functions"
What do you like best about the product?
Altium has thousand of advanced functions to make PCBs. It is easy to use to create footprint and 3d mapping is very nice. It has many user friendly options to make easy flow of PCB.
What do you dislike about the product?
It is difficult to export the designs to different software. Higher cost compared to others. It is not more sufficient to complex designs. less functionalities compare to other software.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Altium software mainly used for PCB designing to provide electrical connection and mechanical support to the electronics components in circuit . It is a time consuming to map the 3d files to footprint comparing the other softwares.
Senior Power Systems Engineer
What do you like best about the product?
very intiutive, lots of great feature to enable team collaboration during design review and design cycle PCBA layout updates
What do you dislike about the product?
all features are great, none that i can think of right now
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
sometimes it is slow to load the design files

- PCB layer stackup and creating impedance profiles
- 2D and 3D PCB visual
A great tool to collaborate and design hardware
What do you like best about the product?
I feel this tool helps collaborate with different teams like a mech, procurement, PCB designers and hardware engineers. All in one place for smooth working. I highly recommend Altium 365
What do you dislike about the product?
UI should be improved for easy understanding of the tool features. Nowadays, app UI is improved a lot; this tool should be easy to use and have free learning resources.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Overall this tool benefits in designing complex PCB designs and importing or exporting MCAD or ECAD files. You can see the PCB in 3D and effortlessly follow the design rules.
Altium after 7 years
What do you like best about the product?
It's fun to use, and generally all needed features are available and easy to find. I'd recommend it for designs up to 3000-4000 components max.
What do you dislike about the product?
Having to pay for cloud services by keeping subscription current, and some common things that are needed to move components to cloud or back to local libraries are missing. They are possible but in a very convoluted way. After about 4K parts in a design things get really slow even on overclocked super fast computer. The pcb rules manager is not as comprehensive as one would like - it's very simplistic really, however, adequate for many things.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It's nice to be able to collaborate online through the portal when working with multiple engineers or projects that need to be examined by (especially) remote team members. Routing is fairly easy by hand in Altium. Autorouting is not useful and more of a sales gimmick as it will not work on complex boards.
Don't use anything else but please pay extra.
What do you like best about the product?
Altium 365 makes it really easy to collaborate and work on a design as a team. To be able to share a PCB design and interactively place comments is really a step forward in the workflow in the case where different people work on different parts of the circuit and for reviews.
The built in version control makes it easy to take a step back if an intended improvement did not turn out as planned.

What do you dislike about the product?
Altium promotes using Altium365 in almost all of its beginner level tutorials without showing up the many alternatives that do not require pushing your data to a cloud. This makes it really hard for someone to understand the way most people use Altium as 365 is not so widespread.
If one wants to benefit from a online library one has to pay extra even if a good library management is a very basic feature of a good EDA program.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We collaborate with other firms that review designs that we made and design subsystems for our product on their one. This makes it essential that data is easy to exchange between the two parties and everyone has the latest version at any time.
Altium, although having a steep learning curve, is super useful and efficient as a design software
What do you like best about the product?
The ability to link and update both the drawing, PCB, and the bill of materials at the same time.
What do you dislike about the product?
The somewhat unintuitive nature of some of the tools/options and where to find them
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Creating PCBs for small devices, to decrease expenditure costs
Easy an professional all-in-one solution.
What do you like best about the product?
The best thing about Altium designer is the possibility to work togruter as a team on design projects, and the ease it is to share designs.
What do you dislike about the product?
The biggest issue I have had with Altium is the defult pin 1 placement in the bottom left corner instead of upper left corner.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Component management and revision control.
My experience with Altium 365 in the workplace and for formula SAE
What do you like best about the product?
Altium 365 provides really useful tools for syncing components between engineers. Having managed access to all components through the company is great instead of having to share a library back and forth. Also putting projects on the server helps team collaboration for our formula student team.
What do you dislike about the product?
One downside of altium 365 is its integration with MCAD co-designer. Projects must be uploaded to the workspace which can cause the workspace to get cluttered.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Altium 365 solves my biggest problem of having to pass a component library between the team. Its integration with codesigner helps although co designer can be clunky in some applications.
Everything its easy an fast, but the errors stop me
What do you like best about the product?
I really like version control, I think that it helps my company reviewing old versions of a layout and finding errors to correct. Moreover, working with mechanical cad has made it really easy with the MCad compatibility
What do you dislike about the product?
I think that a lot of errors shoud be considered warnings. I have been working with old libraries in my buissnes (they have been working on electronics since 1995) and I don't have the time to update everything, so a lot of errors pop up all the time.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Version control, MCAD compativility was a big problem, active BOM has solver a lot of paperwork. Moreover, lately we have been using simulation lately and the results are looking good
