THE EDA
What do you like best about the product?
PCB Routing is super fast and easy.
Output file Management with OutJob.
Object inspection and the "Find similar Object".
Schematic Hierarchical Channels.
Retro compatibility with the previous versions (The latest version can open and save in Protel99 format without any problem).

What do you dislike about the product?
A little too heavy sometimes to load.
Some random crash (but the design never breaks up).
Database library management can be more flexible (requires ODBC database).

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Superfast design process.
Design reusability.
Version control from different board revision using Altium365 or integrated Git client

I have been using Altium for 15 years and it's served our needs well. From simple to complex.
What do you like best about the product?
Ease of integration with 3D design tools, plus I just know a lot of shortcuts
What do you dislike about the product?
i've always disliked component creation. it's always getting a bit better, but still it's my least favorite aspect of the tool
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We've been successful in making sure very tight alignment issues don't bite us. We've saved spins by utilizing the 3D power of the tool.
Complete, modern and intuitive!
What do you like best about the product?
I really like the GUI, the 3d viewer and the fact that there are A LOT of useful tool like impedance calculator, trace lenght tuning ecc.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't like the fact that if you want to hide pour you have to select the pour and click "none" and then repour when you want to show it. I'd really like to have an IBom with interactive selection for components hand soldering like kicad one.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I'm currently designing the hardware for a 2.4 ghz automotive telemetry system. Again i realized that Altium helps in a lot of task than normally require other software.
Surprisingly Great and Complete ECAD Tool
What do you like best about the product?
Almost every day receive design tips and PCB expert technical sharing on youbtube. Multi fumction design tool suh as EE to ME tool, PDN simulation tool, online BOM tool, HDI capability fumctions tool with one time subscription. No separate license required.
What do you dislike about the product?
Unit setting dynamically change. I hope once we set, it not easily change. System should know wat is the designer want for the PCB design and schematic. For example I like to use matrix unit for PCB and footpeint desing and for symbol and schematic like to use inch.
Then, I want easy on grid setting when we add primitive element.
I suggent to have v-cut layer for panel design so that we can view it on 3D.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I do not need to buy third party tool to create footprint. There is a lot of free plugin for us to import library amd 3D model. And we got cloud storage for component library. This function help us to reduce library design time.
The simulation tool for PDN really help the designer to know whether the lane is big enough ànd the vias count is optimize during the design. Without this, we only depend on calculation without considering the actual layout and routing.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
I have experienced using 3 major and very expensive PCB design tool in the market. Altium Designer not far behind. You can do the same design with Altium Designer with lower cost.
Active BOM capability you can get only with Altium Desiner and this further highlight its advantages compared to others.
What a great tool!

A complete design toll
What do you like best about the product?
Easy user interface for both schematic capture and PCB layout
What do you dislike about the product?
Libraries can be confusing, versatility can cause difficulties
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Have been able to use Altium PCB to design front panels.
Altium Designer - My Experience
What do you like best about the product?
I'm an independent consultant/contractor - I like using Altium's 365 for collaboration with clients.
What do you dislike about the product?
Over the past few years, AD18, 19 & 20 had issues with being slow, sluggish - particularly with the user interface - but also with routing at times. Slowly it has gotten better.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Typically, I'll design and/or layout high-frequency (RF) PCBs. One benefit that I've always enjoyed has been Altium's 3D mode - allowing me to render the PCB into a realistic view. This not only lets clients see the design's progress - but this helps me as well.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Altium Designer is a professional CAD tool used by many large companies - and this is my primary reason for using Altium Designer. I rely on Altium throughout the year. I like using Altium - especially since AD21 came out.
High speed design makes an easy task!
What do you like best about the product?
Using Altium since it was Protel99, due to the user-friendliness and ease of using the shortcuts. Above of all, I like the differential pair routing and length matching the best.
What do you dislike about the product?
The loading time of the software. and several bugs in new releases.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
length matching in High-speed PCB design. Also, the active route saves quite a lot of time, which I had to do manually before.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Look out for the bugs in the new releases. Though support is responsive.
Excellant
What do you like best about the product?
Component creation is very easy. Easy BGA fan out
What do you dislike about the product?
Panel nesting is a bit tricky. Could be more intuitive
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Fast release to markets of next-generation PCBs
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Very powerful tool
The 'office suit' of eCAD
What do you like best about the product?
It's very easy to use yet very powerful for experiensed users. There is much support for things like impedance matching, differential routing, 3D fitting etc.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes Altium as a company decides to change direction and obsoletes 'old' solutions. A more user-centric approach to bussiness development would be nice.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We do eCAD for various customers in many different fields. An through all projects, from small to complex, Altium has been a lovely tool. I personally have used other eCAD tools but none that I like as much
Altium review
What do you like best about the product?
Altium is fully integrated in a single unified environnement (schematic and layout pcb)
What do you dislike about the product?
Some bugs or regretion after a new release.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
a complete management of the electronic design chain and easy of use for small teams.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
powerful but easy to use tools
