Altium
What do you like best about the product?
It is a great tool for PCB designers. It allows you to save time for the schematic and layout. The 3D panel is really nice
What do you dislike about the product?
Almost nothing, I love Altium. Maybe the fact that requires an expensive PC.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Designing PCBA for different projects.
The most intuitive E-CAD software on the market
What do you like best about the product?
I like the interaction with Solidworks, how you can push tracks during routing, via stitching and shielding functions and a lot of other features that accelerate your work.
What do you dislike about the product?
I think setting up rules for diff pairs and length of tracks that have to be matched could be simpler.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I'm doing some RF and high speed design pcbs. I believe altium designer is the most human friendly e-card on the market.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
That is a software that worth to be used to.
Powerful pcb design tool
What do you like best about the product?
It is a powerful tool, with a lot of features, very profesional
What do you dislike about the product?
Not very user friendly, definitely hard to learn with no training.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I'm not a very active altium user, but I can see it has a lot of advantages and it is very ahead of its competition.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Need training first, it is not easy to use.
Altiums designer solution works for all designs
What do you like best about the product?
I love that you have an all in one suite of tools to perform schematic capture, pcb design, seemless library integration for all industry designs, 3D designs for ease of constraint realization,and signal analysis for all designs. This has made many design projects easy to give realistic design schedules to customers so that bids are realistic.
What do you dislike about the product?
RF design libraries needed to keep up with industry. That's my only complaint.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It has made scheduling with customers realistic and drives realistic metrics on design. A baseline in your Altium setup makes projects go fast.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It's a great all in one tool for PCB and product design in all industries.
Altium Designer is a great PCB tool
What do you like best about the product?
Altium Designer is easy to use and has great features. I really like the 3D view and the ability to make STEP files of the PCB to send the mechanical engineers. I also like that schematics and layout are so integrated.
I have done many 2, 4 and 6 layer boards with Altium Designer version 17 and 18 during the past 2-3 years.
Altium Designer works great on a laptop PC and doesn't need a powerful desktop PC in order to run. I use a laptop PC with integrated graphics and it works great.

What do you dislike about the product?
There are some software bugs that need to be sorted out in version 17 at least. Sometimes when working on a big design the software hangs and a restart is needed.
The printing of placement drawings and some other documents should improve. The editing of the print layout is hard to use.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Altium Designer has improved my work of making PCBs. The workflow is simple and I appreciate the 3D support. I send 3D files of my boards to the mechanical engineers and vice versa.
It is easy to setup a new board design and to follow through until finished design.
The tool has all the DRC checks one can expect including impedance checks.
I prefer Altium Designer over other competitive CAD products I have used over the last 20 years as an electronics engineer.

Download the trial version before buy.
Great and powerfull tool
What do you like best about the product?
Lots of footprint library, easy to use.
What do you dislike about the product?
In some cases there was a problem with some footprint
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
For every PCB board that I designed, I always use Altium. Very easy to use, very easy to export file to print design on real board
Best PCB tool out there
What do you like best about the product?
It is easy to use and integrates 3D features with the layout diminishing the number of mistakes.
What do you dislike about the product?
It used to have a lot of bugs but after 18 it has improved significantly.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I have been able to design very complicated multi-board systems without having to go through several iterations
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you get the advanced training, you'll be good for many years of design
Best PCB Design Software Ever
What do you like best about the product?
Altium is simply awesome. It is the most powerful software for PCB design. I like the capability of doing variants from the schematic and the PCB. The Vault Library and manufacturer part search integration that cut off the developing time. Also the 3D panel is very helpful and the ability to import/ export 3d files to modify the board shape
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes the DRC takes too long to finish the report
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Schematic/PCB design for different projects. User-friendly interface. Powerful software
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It is a must have for Hardware Design
Altium Designer - schematics, layout and 3D-view
What do you like best about the product?
Altium Designer makes it easy to create schematics and transfer them into a descent layout.
Making the correct library figures (for both schematic and layout) and attaching a 3D file is very straightforward.
The 3D view is very handy to get a first view on possible mechanical integration issues.

What do you dislike about the product?
Lot's of shortcuts do not follow the 'standard' windows implementation. Working with Altium Designer would be even easier if they would...
Although it is not very difficult to start working with Altium designer, it would be great to have some youtube introduction course available to get you through the basics, the standard workflow (read: most efficient workflow) and some of the specific but very interesting features.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Altium Designer makes it easy to bring schematic and / or library figure updates to the layout. It is not too difficult to learn to work with Altium Designer as the tool works quite intuitive.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Do not fear that Altium Designer is difficult to start with. The tool is quite intuitive to work with.
It is easy to use, lots of resources available online
What do you like best about the product?
There are a lot of online resources available to learn the basics of Altium Designer. It is easy and fun to use.
What do you dislike about the product?
It is expensive to buy for students who want to make their own projects. There should be a cheap student version to develop the community. There should be more component design for schematics.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Designed a custom PCB for a testing product. It is very easy to learn for beginners. There are many youtube videos which help with Altium. I also like the keyboard shortcuts available for users.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Make full use of online resources
