Altium Designer Reviews

The Active BOM feature, as well as the Multiboard Design, the ability to synchronize schematics and PCB and the DRC.

The server license is sometimes disconnecting, and all unsaved work get lost

Quick turnaround time in designing Electronics assembly with 360 degrees collaboration with the MCAD tools and Contract manufacturers and consultants ( reviewers)

All the features are combined in one easy to use application, especially the really useful MCAD integration.

Sometimes the amount of options available can be a little overwhelming, especially to new users.

PCB design for boards that interact with a mechanical design component are made much easier with Altium Designer.

Very easy to use. Building component footprint is no brainer. It's much better than other CAD tools.

None. Altium has done a s good job with the software.

Designing a board is quicker, and faster. Altium provides excellent tutorials.

Altium help to complete the PCB designs without error. We can found most of the errors during the design as well as DRC.

Rules priority not works some times. But, works good.

Software give good support.

I have been thoroughly impressed with the software. The schematic development environment is top-notch, making it easy to design and document circuit diagrams. The PCB routing tools are also fantastic, allowing me to create accurate and manufacturable layouts with ease. But perhaps the feature I appreciate the most is the ability to collaborate with my team members. Altium Designer includes a range of collaboration tools, such as real-time design synchronization and team collaboration features, which have made it much easier for us to work together on projects. Overall, I highly recommend Altium Designer to anyone in the PCB design industry.

As a user of Altium Designer, I will admit that the learning curve can be steep at first. However, the software's excellent documentation goes a long way in making the learning process easier and more enjoyable. The documentation includes a range of resources, such as tutorials, user guides, and online communities, which provide valuable guidance and support. While it may take some time to become proficient with Altium Designer, the thorough documentation makes it well worth the effort.

As a user of Altium Designer, I have found the software to be an invaluable tool for product development. The collaboration features, such as the online viewer and offline editing capabilities, have made it much easier for my team to work together and ensure that we are always working from the most up-to-date designs. The ability to view and collaborate on designs in real-time has been particularly helpful, as it has allowed us to identify and resolve issues more quickly. Altium Designer has truly been an integral part of our product development process, and I highly recommend it to any team looking to streamline and improve their workflow.

Closely coupled libraries management, schematic capture, simulation and PCB layout that maximizes efficiency.

Somewhat heavy and sometimes slow responding even on top PCs as well as lack of support on other platforms (linux/macOS)

Close coupling in design combined with powerful ERC/DRC checks minimizes chances for design errors. My design errors have been reduced by at least 15% since transitioning to Altium, even without fully utilizing all features.

I like the documentation and how easy it is to design new schematics and pcbs.

Sometimes you need to learn how to do things but once you know it, it's pretty straight forward.

I'm implementing projects and learning along the way.

The user interface and the extensive training materials.

The import/export to other packages such as Cadence.

Getting high-quality, dependable PCB layouts done in a short amount of time.

I find the outstanding aspect of Altium is their support. Altium designer is a complex development environment and having quick support helps to reduce time lost.

No programable logic development with the increased use of programable logic it is an import part of schematic development.

I work as a consulting engineer providing development services. In this space time is money wasted time is lost income. Altium support helps me to minimise my lost time.

Altium Designer help me to manage my hardware projects and speed the release of documentation for the PCB production and PCB assembly. The tools and 3D protypation decrease production error and reduce drastically the time to market.

I hope that Altium consider to release in very near future a version for Windows on Arm and Apple MacOS. Also tools for iPhone and IPad are missed, that can help work.

Altium Designer help me to manage all the project and production process of electronics product and also permit to release and simply maintain documentation for the PCB production and PCB assembly.
