Have altium and Design anything
What do you like best about the product?
I have been using Altium for the past 2 years and have designed multiple circuit boards ranging from single layers to four layers, wireless RF boards. The best part is that I have never been stuck in a place where I feel that there is something missing in the Altium that I need and on top of that it got a simple easy to use user interface. It is a professional circuit design tool which is I feel better than most of its competitors in the market. It is easy to design PCBs of different sizes and shape too easy. It has the best documentation provided online which decreases the time of development drastically.
What do you dislike about the product?
They're a little or nothing to dislike about Altium. I am leading a team of design engineers and they have never filed an issue that they need something else other than Altium.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are working in the smart sanitation sector. We have built our own solution from scratch and Altium has played a crucial role in it. We have designed multiple boards based on Bluetooth low energy, WiFi, arm cortex controllers. Now our solution is up and running and solving the untouched problems of the sanitation sector.
A powerful and professional PCB designing tool
What do you like best about the product?
Altium designer has the best user interface, with easy to understand and use tools. Component library collection is good. Apart from software, one of the best learning community to getting started with the software, and the plenty of Webinar sessions to master the Art of PCB designing.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes there is problem of server, and services will be affected due to maintain ance.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am designing the PCB, related to the Battery management system.
As I am not an expert, due to its Learning community I have learnt a lot.

Solid premium software, just wish was modern language scripting interface
What do you like best about the product?
Very powerful, in constant development, good premium support
What do you dislike about the product?
- Interface panels have been buggy, and generally a pain to use.
- They don't work well on two monitors with different resolutions
- Frustrating offputting scripting experience. They don't support modern simple scripting languages easily or nicely.

Professional PCB design
I've been using PCB CAD since 1989. Altium is the worst for bugs.
What do you like best about the product?
Moving around, switching from 2D to 3D instantly. Great net classes implementation.
What do you dislike about the product?
Convoluted parts creation, inconsistences of using the cloud, unintuitive interface, poor support.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Over other PCB packages, nothing. It just adds problems and slows me down.
Altium works great for many applications
What do you like best about the product?
It is easy to use and lots of resources online in case you can't figure something out
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing really, it seems to work well and works quickly
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Helping to design PCB layout, and using the viewer to locate parts on PCB's

Professional tools with ease of use and learning for Schematic and PCB
What do you like best about the product?
Altium Designe is a professional industry tool for making Schematic and PCB designs. It is easy to learn, all tools are easy to use including the importers, exporters from other tool designs.
I have been using Altium since it was Protel99. After using Altium, you can switch to any other PCB-making tool.
The tool includes the Schematics design options for Heirarichal and straight designs. Altium can be used in a team project, every member can work on different modules and later the complete design can be combined for review and manufacturing.

What do you dislike about the product?
As far as i have used it for almost ten years, I have found very few bugs that I reported. The team can improve the 3D viewer, I think, using some measurement tools, etc. Altium Team can try to improve the procedure of exporting from other tools like Eagle designs.
The procedure for generating Gerber files can also be improved. There should be an option to generate NC Drill files while Generating the Gerber files.
There are some problems in making template for BOM generation.
The print options for schematic and PCB are very user friendly.For getting a print of actual size of PCB, there are a lot to do in print options. It can be improved using some check box if the user want to see the PCB in actual dimensions on the paper before sending it to manufacturing.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am using Altium Designer for Electronics schematic and PCB designing.
The tool is straightforward to use and learn fast by just following some Video lectures on Youtube. There are some PDF tutorials available in the installation which includes the whole process of making schematic and going towards PCB after verifying schematic design.
My team is using Altium Designer for Consumer Electronics related products. We have used the tool for making PCB containing more than 6 layers. Our most often PCB use four layer design.

Great package with great opportunities
What do you like best about the product?
You can create a lot of templates. You can use parameters everywhere in the design, schematic capture, variants, layouts and output jobs. It helps to keep designs manageable and consistent. Hierarchy designs are great as well. Update from PCB libraries works well. Altium 365 with managed libraries looks like vey good solution for libraries. It solves so many problems. Each component has its own revision history and lifecycle. The best solution I ever seen. Components creation is nice as well, by using IPC wizard or octopart based library, components creation is easier.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes new updates will introduce bugs which will mess up with your preferred way of using product and you need to adjust. Update from schematic libraries is not great. Sometimes you can find that the same thing can be done in few different ways. Also, a lot of features are hidden and not obvious. Multiboard design looks like a great idea, but for some reason is undeveloped.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Variant control is great. High speed routing technics are helpful. It save time on designs. Version control helps keep data secured and backed up. Repeat sheets, help you to speed up design and manage the same piece of the design easier. Preferences can be set up in various ways to suit each individuals. Layer stack up manager and visualiser is really helpful and can demonstrate effect of small change in track width on the impedance. Can easily create multiple impedance profiles and use them in the design rules.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Think about what you need to use it for and have a look at different packages available. Also, consider Altium 365
Altium usage as a simulation web tool
What do you like best about the product?
Web interface is really nice along with multiple options to form different hardware and test with basic firmware
I used raspberry pi module to run simulation and it was a great experience to quickly build a simulation and run the test. Time accuracy is problem but tgat is expected from simulation platforms.

What do you dislike about the product?
Timing complexity cannot be captured. You can use timers and clock isage to fimd out timings as well.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Its easy to access from any pc and your work is saved.
