Altium is hands down the leader in ECAD systems
What do you like best about the product?
The most progressive ECAD design tool out there! Altium is always making improvements
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes versions are released with bugs, but this is the price of using the most progressive ECAD software out there. Easy for new users to learn as there is plenty of training content online.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Altium has greatly increased how well designers collaborate with each other on new designs. We use A365 which has been well worth the financial investment and has definitely saved our company money by increasing our efficiency in our board design efforts.
Best Addition Yet
What do you like best about the product?
You guys do a great job with version control of Electronic Designs. One big time saver for our workflow is batch component creation. This allows my team to make families of passive components with ease.
What do you dislike about the product?
Something I dislike about A365 is the online browser tool. One time I had a colleague accidentally delete a bunch of components in our vault. Luckily they were still in the trash can however I couldn't select all of the components at once so I needed to click through and restore one at a time. This took hours to do with 800 parts gone. Other aspects of the web browser app don't allow for multi-select either which would be very helpful.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The way we do version control of templating and design projects. Before we were very old-fashioned with zipping up projects at certain states and saving them to the corporate server. A365 allows us to not only easily track our changes but allow us to revert to a previous state. We are comfortable and familiar with how GIT works and work with some Software folks. So when they navigate our projects it looks familiar to them and understand our revisioning.
Necessary to do my job
What do you like best about the product?
It is a complete package for doing schematic capture and layout

Circuit board design. I can share the design with all my co-workers
Excellent Modern EDA Tool for Every Designer
What do you like best about the product?
Altium 364 easily allows us to share designs and schematics between both our ourselves and our production operatives.
Design review and release is effortless and the online component library makes managing parts used in our designs a breeze.

What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes it can be hard to keep track of who has the latest version of the data if multiple people are working on a project.
A better way of locking files so that people don't overwrite each others work easily is needed.
A better way of locking files so that people don't overwrite each others work easily is needed.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Allowing people to collaborate while working remotely is the greatest benefit. Keeping a record of changes and release data in a central database helps avoid errors.
As you would expect from Altium, an intuitive and seamless experience with many additional benefits
What do you like best about the product?
The ability to send out links to other colleagues and the ease at which reviews and collaboration are carried out.

I have to say there is nothing that I don't like about it. It is constantly improving with each new release and has become a part of my workflow.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Allowing others without Altium, to be able to access my work seamlessly and the ability to leave comments
A productive tool for hardware design. You can see the saved time and money from the first months.
What do you like best about the product?
xSignals, Active BOM, Manufacturer Search tool, A365 Cloud
These tools help a lot, if you work in a small team.
These tools help a lot, if you work in a small team.
What do you dislike about the product?
I think Altium 365 could benefit a lot from an integrated, Trello-like project management tool. Combine it with the comments. Also, integrate it with Altium Designer.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Quick hardware design for small quantities. I can save an insane amount of time with the new part management (cloud, schematic reuse, manufacturer search).
Working on the cloud has made it very easy for me to work for my customers.
What do you like best about the product?
How easy it is to install it and set it up. The ability to add comments and share projects with other is a big help for me.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some features are too slow, but I guess that's part of working on the cloud.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Having a library on the cloud and the ability to share the entire project with my customers and have all the comments on the same platform.
Good but costly
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to use and very user-friendly. Complications while designing can be reduced to an extent
What do you dislike about the product?
Price. Way too costly. Compared to other brands it is on the higher side.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Many in built functions to avoid the most common mistakes while designing. Have good tool to analyze expected board performance.
Altium Nexus from the admin perspective
What do you like best about the product?
The customizable workflows and processes and the component database. In general this extra way of customizing our design proceses
What do you dislike about the product?
The Nexus client is still buggy. They release a new version very often just to fix bugs, I have the feeling the SW is not widely tested before release
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It improved our team cooperation, our components database is much better organized now
User Friendly and Easy to Learn
What do you like best about the product?
Very user friendly and easy to create designs for PCB Boards. It was the first time I started learning Altium for my University Course but I found it very easy and a great tool for designing various components and chips.
What do you dislike about the product?
In my opinion finding a 3D-model to design footprints is sometimes hard on the internet there should be also a way to find 3d models easily so we can design our components much faster.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Altium designer is cheaper compared to other softwares in the market and it can handle upto 5000 components so its a very big deal and the software is also very famous in companies across Austria. It is also great for students who are starting to learn PCB Designing. It also has design rules which helps to ensure we don't make errors while making the schematic or the layout design.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would recommend this product to others who are just starting to learn PCB Design or whoever wants to learn PCB Designing as it is very user-friendly and easy to learn. You can also find a lot of support from Altium if you are stuck with some problems on the forum or support.
