Designing complex PCBs with endless possibilities
What do you like best about the product?
It gives the user the option to change and adapt every setting to your own user preference. This really shortens the time to develop and design a PCB. It offers the most options and give the most design possibilities.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some settings are hidden behind specific hotkeys. The beginning is a bit difficult when you only need to design a small project/PCB. I had problems finding the right option that fit me as there are too many different options.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Designing PCBs for different projects in the automotive field and ToF field. It offered options to filter for specific parts which I would have needed to search for a longer time otherwise.
Great software, especially for professional use
What do you like best about the product?
The Altium Designer comes with a lot of functions. You can view projects / pcbs in your Webbrowsers, which can be of great value if you are on the go and can not access a computer with the Altium designer software.
The close cloud integration makes it easy to work on a project with a group of people and the version control prevents from accidentally messing up a project.

What do you dislike about the product?
You need a while to get started, since there are a lot of functions, that can be a bit overwhelming in the beginning.
For hobbyists it might be quite annoying that you have to add all the components you want to use manually.
There are some graphic bugs when using the software on two displays with different resolutions at the same time.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Having the possibility to view and place components in the 3D view to check for clearance between components.
You have to create your own component library, which in my case only contains the components that are in stock in our company so I don't have to wait for components to be shipped.

Using Altium Designer for PCB Design and Multi PCB Design with Altium365 Cloud Version Control
What do you like best about the product?
The integration of all the steps needed for a PCB Design in one Software is very productive. The new Altium365 features with GIT Version control is really helpful and easy to use.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some standard parameters are not so usefull and not so easy to find. Making Design Rules could be more intuitive. Some necessary key short cuts are not always present or easy to keep in mind.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Designing PCBs and connecting them with other PCBs or Housings is really easy implemented in Alitum Designer. Checking that the whole Setup for our Accumulator is fitting well, is really beneficciall. Implementing a way to easiely add some wiring would be a great addition.
Altium is a great Software for PCB Design
What do you like best about the product?
The shortcuts and the easy way how easy it can be used. The PCB design is also very easy to realise.
Among other things, the easy handling of the programme also helps.

What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes it is difficult to create components.when opening a PCB, the zoom is sometimes in the bottom left corner. I do not notice any other negative points, except for the ones mentioned above.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Altium is very good for small prototypes. For example, creating a utility is very easy. It saves a lot of time and therefore solves the problems of meeting deadlines.
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.
