A PCB design tool that can improve the communication stream between several HW designers.
What do you like best about the product?
So many features, and a good interface to communicate between other designers, external consultants, manufacturers, and component suppliers. Lots of available info on youtube.
What do you dislike about the product?
A plethora of features that either you do not need or you ignore. They provide training but it costs.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It improves communication with my team.
Altium has been a great tool for PCB design
What do you like best about the product?
Integration with component libraries and being able to check availability while doing schematic capture has been incredibly useful. The routing utilities (both automatic and manual) are incredibly powerful as well.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes it has issues loading large projects and needs restarts. It also has some clunky keybindings (which can be fixed, but is just an annoyance). The learning curve is pretty steep, but that's just part of using an enterprise tool.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Altium allows us to do PCB design for our solar-powered electric racing vehicle. Most of our boards have a lot of boilerplate components, and Altium allows us to re-use those blocks and save tons of time with new designs.
Most advanced designing and user friendly tool
What do you like best about the product?
The software is pretty user-friendly and very advanced.
What do you dislike about the product?
The price is pretty high and is not so popular in the electronics manufacturing business.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It is easy to convert other designing software files to the Altium format, and the feature of Active BOM saves a lot of time.
Easy to use
What do you like best about the product?
Auto routing in altium needs very little modification and succeed to route most of the time
What do you dislike about the product?
In double layer auto route cannot be modified to prioritize bottom layer it treats the two layer as if they were the same
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It's giving you user friendly interface to design your pcb schematic and footprint with high quality
Useful features, Some issues
What do you like best about the product?
Version control and shared projects in a single place work great for a collaborative environment, and having a controlled library is a must for anything beyond basic projects.
What do you dislike about the product?
Importing Library components from Altium Content Library removes most parameters, and the tools that allow multiple people to work on the same file together can be vague about what changes are or aren't applied. Main editing personnel changes override local file edits if not accepted by them in a merge. Layers can't be edited separately, instead putting changes in specific blocks of design space.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The biggest thing is that using Altium 365 has saved us the trouble of needing to create our own server, version control, and library, and maintain all of the hardware and software necessary to run that.
Easy Component Management and Collaboration
What do you like best about the product?
Easy sharing of designs with coworkers. Intuitive user interface on components library.
What do you dislike about the product?
As a newer PCB designer, it would helpful to have more Altium learning resources for manufacturing related questions: PCB materials, stackup, etc.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
They're solving the issue of integrating a multi-functional team on an electrical design well. They're also solving the issue of providing an easily accessible online location for field representatives to access design information for customer support.
In the research phase but altium has shown great promise.
What do you like best about the product?
Altium is great at being the truth source for design.
What do you dislike about the product?
I cannot think of any dislikes with altium.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Altium is solving the problem of having multiple places where designs are stored.
Excellent Cloud Service
What do you like best about the product?
I can update and change multiple components at a time, my library health is up-to-date and shows me obsolescence warnings in active bom.
What do you dislike about the product?
I do not like that they do not send notifications when a library component has gone obsolete.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It is solving organization and efficiency problems. Sharing projects, updating components, multiple users can view the same thing at once are all benefits.
Altium 365 makes much things easier like library, components, obsolescense and sharing projects.
What do you like best about the product?
library management and checking obsolescense.
What do you dislike about the product?
Everythings fine, nothing to worry about at the moment.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I can have all projects in one place and check if there is a part obsolete and check in which projects it is used. This saves a lot of time for me.
Very streamlined experience, intuitive flow with well-structured collaboration features
What do you like best about the product?
Reviewing tools, centralized repository, web client with notes and comments, easy BOM management (good for simple projects, less for complicated deployments), guest user support
What do you dislike about the product?
BOM is not ActiveBOM 1:1 synced, missing vendor lookup from the web interface, missing multiple GIT remotes (this feature is a must for road workers with unstable connections), guests cannot clone projects
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Having multiple figures in our production pipeline (designers, DFM operators, MFG/CEM, procurement and even end users) allows quicker feedback up to the engineers in case of any issue. Even the normal workflow is much easier to be processed as artifacts are available in the resources and people can know when and by who any modification has been carried out.
