Great and Plentiful resources
What do you like best about the product?
Available resources and the ease of libraries. I appreciate the readily available components. The ability to update parts and BOMs is unparalleled, no comparison.
What do you dislike about the product?
Losing connection to internet can disrupt my flow. But It is a small detail that I have found that would make it better and further improvement. Offline access would be nice.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Helping me create pcbs that are reliable . Easy component organization by projects with the library. I am definitely more productive and my performance has increased.
Great Experience
What do you like best about the product?
Easy for multiple people to simultaneously work on a project without the need for the sharing files.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes the software can be unstable and crash.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
N/A
A great end-to-end PCB design software
What do you like best about the product?
Altium Designer is and incredibly powerful software, bundling every tool you need to design a PCB into a single software. From its cloud-based integration with Altium 365, to its ability to host massive parts libraries locally, it is very flexible.
What do you dislike about the product?
Unfortunately, Altium Designer's wide range of features makes its user interface somewhat daunting to new or inexperienced users, and it can be difficult to memorize shortcuts and menus. Luckily, Altium's support pages are quite helpful.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Altium Designer's cloud-based tools do a great job helping me to collaborate with team members using its built-in version control system. Having these features integrated into the tool provides a seamless experience.
Altium Designer - a complete electronics design package
What do you like best about the product?
Altium Designer is the best electronics design package that allows the Electronics Engineer to develop products from concept to final product
What do you dislike about the product?
Pricing. I would appreciate a little discount from time to time.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Accurate translation of schematics design into printed circuit boards. Tracking of components. Creating and maintaining bills of materials.
Altium allows a fast and comprehensive electronic development
What do you like best about the product?
The user interface is very intuitive, it has powerful features that streamline the development process. Multi user collaboration is a very powerful feature available.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some plug-ins should be included with the package.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Collaboration across teams on a single design.
A complete tool - Electronics and PCBs in one place
What do you like best about the product?
Your connection with the resellers and the rapid collection of data and component footprints. They also allow the installation of add-ons that facilitate their use, in addition to having connections with other software directly, making the integration of multiple software easier.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not all of your basic tools are so intuitive, which is even more noticeable for your more complex tools. Some commands are also not intuitive and quite different from the usual in other software.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Altium Designer allows me to create PCBs for my research projects quickly and efficiently. Its use also helps me better understand the functioning of the boards I fabricate there.
Draftsman and Variant features are more customizable
What do you like best about the product?
The new and improved Home Page is easier to navigate, and I find helpful tips that make my designs go faster. Also, the Draftsman document (PCBDwf) features such as Board Assembly View customization (component Display Properties), Board Realistic View of Current Camera Position, and Bill of Materials view settings options (Variant/Columns/Row Colors) to name a few. Lastly, the Project Variants has options to replace parts on the Schematic Sheet and then forward that design change to the PCBDoc (Place 3D Models), which can give me multiple design outputs if several components are unavailable do to supply chain issues.
What do you dislike about the product?
The only input for improvement I would give is that when using Callouts (arrow and bubble with item numbers matching to BOM) for components the Elbow Position options are only Left or Right. So, when I try to avoid drawing over components on the board, I must hand draw it in and disconnect it from the BOM optimization. I like the fact that it will auto update as I change the BOM Items.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I can save the Draftsman document as a template and pull it up in new projects which saves me immense amount for time since doing multiple pages of complex details needed for assembly is very tedious and it is easy loose consistency. Also, easy collaboration with my team and MCAD designer is a huge plus.
Essential addition for Altium
What do you like best about the product?
Library management is made easy. Very easy to maintain.
What do you dislike about the product?
Cost is little steep. Locks you on to no choice.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Time taken away from designing to maintain library.
It's the industry standard for a reason. Just make sure to have a strong computer!
What do you like best about the product?
The design rules are extensive and can keep you from making almost any mistakes.
The Active BOM gives you a great overview of market stock and works great with the output jobs, which is my third and favorite thing.
To be able to store an outputjob file in the server and standardize it to make all production material look the same is amazing; it has some annoying bugs but it's still powerful.

What do you dislike about the product?
It requires a top of the line computer, or at least a really strong graphics card or slowdowns will be inevitable and dealbreaking.
Due to how many functions there are there are also more bugs than a lot of simpler software, and my impression is that development team isn't entirely keeping up.
There are also a lot of crashes, which is related to the previous point.
Also draftman tool is being pushed a lot, but since it can't be automated it's useless for us; meanwhile the outputjob file has some bugs that in some specific cases makes it unusable.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Having a standardized library of components makes everyone being able to work more coherently, and those less skilled can easily have their components reviewed.
Also collaboration is more effective since it's easy to pull someones project from the server.

Altium 365 simplifies the creation of cross-company shared libraries and projects
What do you like best about the product?
The ability to share a project with people via Web View without the need to install Altium Designer. This makes it possible to easily and quickly share schematics or BOMs with different departments/colleagues
What do you dislike about the product?
When creating new components within a managed library, the upload time is quite long.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Share new developments with colleagues (even if they are of a non-electronics background).
