What do you like best about Altair?

It has all the functionality that is needed from this kind of platform, but it doesn't go much more than that. All in all it is just a very average platform and meets all the basic requirments. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Altair?

Its lay out and wording is for users with a finance background, general users struggle. Also, the UX is very poor, with multiple buttons that do the same job. This just confuses users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Altair:

If you are looking for an average and fair-priced platform it does the job, if you want to pay a bit more you can go to a slightly more expenses competitor. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Altair solving and how is that benefiting you?

Well, it helps with the ERP side of things, especially in the financial realm. Yet again it just about meets this, it doesnt go over and above in this department like some of the other alternatives. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Altair?

There are already a lot of the general questions that have been asked in the forums which will be very helpful if you just started.

However, if you need more profound insight, you can post a new question, I usually get the reply from experts within 1-2 days.

Also, you can create a case to request technical support, I got helped with all the experts worldwide, so it is a good software company I would say. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Altair?

Nothing much I can dislike.

One thing, since some of the software, for example Altair Flux is commercial software, it is not too easy to customize.

I have some trouble when I want to introduce a new physics equation to include and compatible with the solver and computational process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Altair solving and how is that benefiting you?

I am using Flux as a process simulation tool for induction welding, especially for thermoplastic welding.

However, traditionally it is for conventional materials. Although we did not get to the point that we want yet, but so far the comparative results been really helpful to understand the insight. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
