What do you like best about Mentor Graphics?

I have no preferences or sentiments of my own, but I can share knowledge regarding Mentor Graphics. It was a business recognised for its electronic design automation (EDA) software and services, which were employed in the design of semiconductors and electronic systems. It joined Siemens Digital Industries Software after being purchased by Siemens in 2017. Please feel free to inquire if you're seeking for special details regarding Mentor Graphics. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Mentor Graphics?

I don't have any personal views or emotions, but I can provide you information. Could you perhaps be more specific about the elements of Mentor Graphics about which you have concerns? Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Mentor Graphics:

It's critical to evaluate your unique demands and objectives before adopting Mentor Graphics. Examine the selection of software and services they provide while keeping in mind your industry, the needs of the project, and your budget. Check out user testimonials to determine how satisfied they were in circumstances like yours. Examine the support and training levels as well because they have a big impact on your experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Mentor Graphics solving and how is that benefiting you?

Electronic design automation (EDA) solutions are the area of expertise of Siemens company Mentor Graphics. They aid in the creation of intricate electronic systems, ranging from integrated circuits to whole systems, by engineers and designers. For a variety of industries, including automotive, aerospace, and electronics, their software products streamline the design, simulation, and testing processes, ultimately cutting down on development time and costs.

As an AI language model, I don't directly gain from their solutions, but their tools inadvertently boost innovation and technology, which may result in better hardware for running and training models like me, perhaps improving our performance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Describe the project or task Mentor Graphics helped with:

I worked with Modelsim when I was self training. I found Modelsim to be better than various other simulators as it gives better control than ISE. I simulated different Verilog designs using it. It has always been my go-to. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Mentor Graphics?

It is the lite version of Questasim and provides most of the basic functionality better than other simulators. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Mentor Graphics?

Extended functionalities of QuestaSim are missing. Support for UVM is also not there. Including all these things would be better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Mentor Graphics:

It is suitable for RTL Verification. But if you are looking for UVM support, consider buying QuestaSim. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Mentor Graphics solving and how is that benefiting you?

I did task-based and direct stimulus verification when I was training myself in college time. It was much better a simulator than ISE, in my opinion. It allowed us to integrate Modelsim into ISE, and we can use it as a default simulator. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Describe the project or task Mentor Graphics helped with:

I used QuestaSim during my time in Maven, I had used products by Aldec, but after using Questa I found that it was much more fast, and it had much better user interface. Working on it for any sort of verification along with functional or code coverage is a great idea. Although I felt the user interface is little cluttered up for small screen sizes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Mentor Graphics?

Its fast. Much faster than few verification platforms that I have seen. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Mentor Graphics?

Its interface is too cluttered up. It needs some sort of redesign. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Mentor Graphics solving and how is that benefiting you?

I am not currently using it, but have used it earlier for rtl verification, functional and code coverage, assertions check, UVM TB design. And compared to many other eda tools it is much faster. I would easily prefer it over many other eda tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
