One of the best PCB design and analysis tool
What do you like best about the product?
The ease of starting to use the designer with helpful functions and readily available resources is something I admire. The additional toolkits and supporting add-ons make it the best design tool. I see the flexibility and agile nature of exporting and importing CAD designs from multiple software; the PCB plugin feature due to multi PCB options is one of the best things I admire. The multi-PCB option take away the burden of being worried about failure in snapping the designs.
What do you dislike about the product?
Whenever an update is coming, some problem is found. For example, a bug was added to the thermal reliefs in version 23.1.1. In 23.2.1 the connections were completely missing for a hexagonal connector.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Altium is user-friendly and acts like a tutor. I use the help function as a tutor, which guides me in step-by-step design. The final layout for manufacturing shows sufficient information an guides in case there are errors that can be corrected. I have use others like KiCAD, Eagle, Design Spark, etc, but Altium is far worthy and easy to use.
Altium greatly accelerates PCB design time
What do you like best about the product?
The best feature by far is the integrated manufacturer and supply chain part search.
What do you dislike about the product?
None I can think of, everything is great so far
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Integrated viewing of both the schematic and the PCB, which used to be in two different software programs. Integrated manufacturer part search is great for saving time.
Deep dive into PCB design
What do you like best about the product?
The atomicity and the level of depth with which I could design a PCB. There were also plenty of shorthands that made things quicker. I have used Eagle before. Eagle might have had a simpler interface but Altium was miles better.
What do you dislike about the product?
Finding footprints. If we accidentally moved the footprint files to another location, it was a massive headache to set it right. Better resources and help online would be nice. A lot of the user interface is somewhat dated.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Designing a schematic based on design and seamlessly generating a PCB. The whole drag-and-drop, pick-and-play approach made it easy to use as first-time designers. Overall pretty fun.
Best PCB Design software out there!
What do you like best about the product?
The seemless integration between PCB design and schematics. Smooth OS and overall really enjoyable experience. Very good for my university work, would recommend!
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing at all, I love it! I've used it for my university and extra curricular work and haven't encountered any issues!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
PCB design for my formula student team. I also use it for my own electronics coursework and it helps massively.
Best Designing Software for Beginers to Learn
What do you like best about the product?
The best user-friendly user interface and tools are available to create our PCBs.
I used this software to complete my final year project (the part where I had to make a PCB according to the specifications).
Visualizing the layers of the Conductor, Semi-Conductor and Insulator is helpful for beginners.

What do you dislike about the product?
I used this software in my college lab while trying to install it on my pc; I was shocked by the pricing.
The unexpected freeze or crash of the software is the most horrible thing that could happen when you are about to finish.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Basic PCBs are readily prepared using sketching and etching, but complex PCBs require digital designing, and precision is a must. Altium Designer is a breath saver on this one.
Excellent PCB design software
What do you like best about the product?
Overall Altium has everything we need. Library management is easy with Altium 365 and the collaboration with mechanical is well integrated. Good tutorials online.
What do you dislike about the product?
It has a higher learning curve as there are a lot of features.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Altium helps us get our projects to market faster with all the tools available in the software. Altium 365 is helpful from the collaboration side of things and makes library management easier.
The best tool currently available for PCBA design.
What do you like best about the product?
The range of tools available is staggering, and it's basically the only thing I need to take a board from design to manufacturing.
What do you dislike about the product?
User interface can be difficult to navigate.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Taking a PCBA design from the drawing board to mass production.
Powerful PCB Tool
What do you like best about the product?
The ability to do most anything you would like to do. Sometimes to a fault. Overall compared to other platforms this one is hand's down the best schematic capture and pcb layout tool I have used.
What do you dislike about the product?
The only complaint I have is that while there are many useful tools to use, they aren't always the easiest to find. There are multiple instances, at least in my case, where I didn't know about a tool that would have saved me a ton of time.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The ability to design and layout custom PCB's from top to bottom, and the capability to realize that product from start to finish and view the product in a real world application
10 years of using Altium. Sa
What do you like best about the product?
Everything is straightforward and organized reasonably. Altium's youtube channel is super useful.
What do you dislike about the product?
Placing a polygon is a bit confusing. However, I'm almost figuring it out.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I think it's the most user-friendly software for PCB design. They have thought of anything you might need before!
Altium Designer with OpenBOM Review
What do you like best about the product?
It makes PCB design super super simple. It allows for easy design bringup
What do you dislike about the product?
Some of the crucial settings are well hidden. I would appreciate an easier layout for some of the more critical settings.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We needed a program to design critical medical electronics and Altium was our best bet since it is an industry-leading program.
