"BEST software for PCB layout design"

5/5

What do you like best about Altium Develop?

Altium is the best software for PCB layout. It supports most off all PCB layout software file conversion that will really helpful to switch to Altium software. the most likely 3D view of 3D components that will use to make enclosers and we can analyze the design.

What do you dislike about Altium Develop?

The software provides signal integrity but that is still some problem so please develop that part. still the cost is too high for purchase. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"No longer recommend Altium Designer"

1/5

What do you like best about Altium Develop?

Been a professional user of AD for 15+ years having also used Allegro, PADS, KiCAD, EAGLE, etc.

UI Design is the best in the industry for ease of use. Particularly the "properties panel" and "Design Rules" graphical interfaces. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Altium Develop?

New subscription model and price gouging by 4x is disrespectful and bad value.

My org already left SolidWorks for similar mis-behavior.

AD hasn't added ANY practical "features" and continues to ignored bugs 6+ years old one of which is a CAM output error that causes A LOT of headache. New tools they've added like wire harness design are VERY far from feature complete compared to competitors like Enterprise Harness which my org uses.

Overall Altium has lost touch with their userbase and their executives are clearly going for the short term cash grab and willing to let Altium slide slowly into irrelevance. Seen it so many time before.

I've been using KiCAD lately after it made HUGE strides in features and anticipate being able to migrate my organization to KiKAD in the near future after just a few key features are added. So Altium better get their act together because open source is GOING to take their lunch. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
