I used Altium to design PCBs for a school project.
What do you like best about the product?
I found it guitar intuitive to use. If I wanted to add a component or place a component, it was fairly easy. There were also many videos online that were helpful.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some of things were very difficult to do, and were not intuitive. Many of the keyboard shorts cuts were hard to memorize. Finally, I wish the auto-trace feature was more accurate.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I always had to use breadboards for prototypes but once I had the circuit down, this is were Altuim came in. I would design the circuit and have it printed and shipped.
Well thought out and productive
What do you like best about the product?
The revision control and ability to recover previous versions of my designs
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't think the interface is as intuitive as it could be - especially with regard to generating output files
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Again the revision control has been a god-send
Good schematic making service, few QOL updates
What do you like best about the product?
It's easy to drag+drop elements / move things around, and there are a lot of useful features (annotate, etc)
What do you dislike about the product?
A few things are coubter-intuitive/hard to use: for example, connecting elements sometimes does not work + width has to be scaled manually. Navigation without a mouse is also difficult
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Helps us create clear circuit and PCB schematics
Altium Review
What do you like best about the product?
Altium makes creating pcb voards seemingless by having a very large leasant visiual design packed eith multitude of tools.
What do you dislike about the product?
Tracing can be improved as there many isnatces where traces make choices rhat would ruin sognal integrity like more than 90 degree angles.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Altium allows me to create my own custom ocb boards that can then be manufactured by me and used for my project team purposes.
Flexible, versatile and efficient CAD tool for electronics
What do you like best about the product?
Easy UI, flexible to design rigid/flexible boards and good integration to mechanics CAD tools. Vault, draftsman, Spice simulation and live BOMs are nice features to speed up design time and avoid jumping between different softwares or web pages. Good help files and video tutorials are available for most features.
What do you dislike about the product?
Learning curve from legacy tools is sometimes bit steep since UI and rules are layouted differently. Some of the new features are still bit limited and not always working properly, but Altium support has been fast to respond and fix issues.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Consolidating all required electronics design steps and tools into one nice UI. Including all from documentation, schematic capture, component selection (BOMs), simulation, layout, review, release and sharing to manufacturer into one package.
Great software, very intuitive
What do you like best about the product?
It has a lot of good functionalities. The MCDAD plug in is also very good
What do you dislike about the product?
It still a pricy software, even thought is a really good one. It would be good to have the possibility to buy only a schematic block or the full version.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It helps me to design faster than my old software
Interface is very clean
What do you like best about the product?
I like that you can set up automated fanout for BGAs. The interface is quite intuitive and has a nice colour scheme.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes the program can lock up and freeze from just small things.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The automatic git archiving of designs is very useful and saves lots of time. The manual routing tool is very intuitive and powerful.
Snappy But Has its Issues
What do you like best about the product?
The snappy response of the tool and generally how it helps me get the work I need finished. I enjoy the fact that it has a multitude of tools that help me analyze and constrain my design. The snap feature is also pretty awesome.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't like how the tool sometimes bogs down and crashes when trying to edit larger schematics. I also find it annoying to use to create footprints. But I feel like this could be resolved with a whole list of all of the hotkeys that can be used in the tool.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It's helping with speeding up the process of design and keeping me happy while doing so. It is also has a very nice way of jumping in and out of the 3D, board editing, and layout modes which is very helpful.
The best PCB design software I have ever used!
What do you like best about the product?
A very well-designed interface that revolves around efficiency and speed.
What do you dislike about the product?
Updates are sometimes not stable. There are also some random bugs that might freeze the workflow.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Note having an intuitive interface for PCB design software slows down the design process. Altium provides room for more productivity.
Best PCB Design Software I've Used
What do you like best about the product?
Altium is by far the most user-friendly PCB design software I've tried (and I've used most of the industry-standard ones). It has great features for working quickly, and is far and away the easiest to teach new users.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are certainly some features of other design software suites, such as Cadence's in-depth pad design tools and Xpedition's ease of working with entire arrays of components, that Altium falls a bit short on, but on the whole Altium has the best sum total set of features in my opinion.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Altium Designer makes it very easy to bring new members of the team up to speed and get them designing useful products significantly faster than competing software.
