The best EDA software out there
What do you like best about the product?
Altium has streamlined tools for every aspect of PCB design
What do you dislike about the product?
Some features don't always interact well with others. There are documented bugs that have gone unfixed for years.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Both simple and complex PCB design and BOM generation is made easy with Altium
The best CAD for schematics (and PCB) design
What do you like best about the product?
Altium Designer is:
- easy to use
- powerful
- very intuitive
- features rich
I really appreciate its integration: you can design schematics, PCBs, interact with mechanical CAD users, easily document your work, connect multiple designs. I cannot imagine, at the moment, using another tool

What do you dislike about the product?
Its completeness can sometimes be a double-edged sword: you can get lost in its many features and encounter some difficulties in focusing on what you have to do. Sometimes the help section is not really intuitive.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Designing electrical schematics, checking connections, designing PCBs, quickly finding vendors.
Up to a few years ago, my old schematics capture software did not allow me to integrate so many features. Using AD was, and actually is, a good improvement to my work.

It is flexible and very powerful in your design.
What do you like best about the product?
At any stage, you can change your design, library, and all the parts at your will. Esaily changing is a very powerful feature. This feature is like C++; you can do your changes very easily. At the same time, other tools may not allow you to change the library at PCB board design. Their tools like Java, safe but not powerful as Altium Designer. But it would help if you had a bit more time to learn these powerful features.
What do you dislike about the product?
A bit hard for beginners. Suppose we can provide a bit small video in each help topic. Many layout guys do not like too much reading. some 30-50 second video on each minor feature will answer more efficient in many of our searches.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
grid size has very bad effect on connectivity in Schematic. Could we improve this connectivity error. better round off grid size the accuracy at schematic stage
Modern ECAD Platform
What do you like best about the product?
Altium Designer is based on a modern, familar architecture. Many other CAD systems are still stuck back in the 80s or 90s. The majority of Altium Designer is very user-friendly. My other recently discovered favorite feature is Altium 365.
What do you dislike about the product?
Designer still does have its quirks. One big thing I dislike is that each schematic page is a separate file. This increases the difficulty in archiving the design and does not make it clear that there is a full, cohesive package (files can get out of sync with the design, whereas if it were all one file, there would be no question as to what files went together).
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Altium 365 has simplified the process of multiple users working on the same design, as well as being able to easily share the entire design with external parties. It is always a problem making sure that everybody has the "viewer" for whatever CAD platform you are using. This method had greatly simplified that so that it is easily accessible to others, and even others that don't know much about CAD.
Altium the best
What do you like best about the product?
the possibility of interacting with all the designers
What do you dislike about the product?
too many commands, the program is a bit slow in performance
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
the possibility of comparing the mechanical parts with the 3d of the PCB
Easiest to use software for PCB development
What do you like best about the product?
All functions are easy to find and use. The interface is self-explanatory, and schematics are easy to navigate. This is the most complete and useful ECAD program I have used up to now. The program is used every day, either for reference or for design.
What do you dislike about the product?
Altium has limited support for drawing PCB outlines without the use of external formats like DXF.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Altium has enhanced the development of electronics at the company. The fluid work environment speeds up PCB design.
It performs great! I love the ability to import footprints. It is an industry standard software
What do you like best about the product?
The ability to import footprints for the parts that I use most. Also being able to check the part availability straight from Altium is a big plus. I have used this software for work and it has a great workflow.
What do you dislike about the product?
I would like to see even more footprints and possibly an easier way to make your own footprint symbols.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am solving problems of PCB design of switching regulator. I currently use the product for personal use on academic projects. But have used it in industry where it sped up time to market on board development.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I have tried many PCB design tools like Eagle, KiCad, DesignSpark PCB, Cadence... This seems to be the best one out there in terms of ease of use.
Great ECAD software
What do you like best about the product?
Very reliable software, I'm really impressed with how it has been updated year after year with great new features every time. Its live data capability for market parts and providers makes it easy to work on projects that require constant changes and updates due to the current shortage of electronic parts.
What do you dislike about the product?
For hobbyists and personal use is a very expensive solution. I would really love to have a monthly subscription to pay and use it only when I need to build or modify my projects.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Documentation and project outputs are much more organized since using this software. Their version control features are reliable and easy to set up. We have improved our design times by a lot.
The only tool that for real solves actual data management problems with PCB design.
What do you like best about the product?
It is a total solution a the only tool worth mentioning that has solved other tools poor documentation, colaboration, project and library management.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not much. Only the occasional mainteneance that are during weekends which the Altium Designer isn't really gracefully handles.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Project data manegment. Colaboration with customers and manufacturers. Library management and component creation. The later is now only minutes instead of hours.
Altium Designer - Best PCB Design Software
What do you like best about the product?
Altium has the most flexibility and customization possible, allowing the designer to build anything from a simple board to a highly complex design. The interface is easy to use and intuitive. The 3D modeling makes it extremely easy to work with mechanical engineers.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some of the more advanced features can be buried in many submenus.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Interfacing with our mechanical team has been the biggest help.
