What do you like best about NI Multisim?

Multisim syncs all your projects. You can access them fron wherever you log in. I can also find a lot of projects and circuits already published publicly by the community. I find this very useful. The features are of course completely resourceful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about NI Multisim?

Multisim does not show a graphical simulation of working circuits which is sometimes a setback. Other than that, it covers majority of the circuits and simulations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering NI Multisim:

The main feature of NI Multisim is how it backs up all your projects and provides online access from any device. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is NI Multisim solving and how is that benefiting you?

This time of pandemic has hampered laboratory work to a large extent. NI Multisim has helped me throughout my course to still have an intuitive and quantitative idea of what's going on in many circuits. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about NI Multisim?

The best thing about NI Multisim is its simplicity, the way its designed to cater electronics engineers and help them simulate come of the basic as well as complex circuits, like I have personally used it in college a lot for simulating my projects. For Eg. I had designed an instrumentation amplifier and I was able to demonstrate its functionality to my professors at college through Multisim even before creating the circuit on PCB. Anyone who has just basic knowledge of electronics and easily use Multisim right away and the library is also enriched specifically for low power electronic circuits and the ICs are also available if we have a good Digital Design to be made. I have found it useful to explain the engineers at my current organization also about the working of some projects which we are currently building. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about NI Multisim?

We cannot use NI Multisim for heavy power circuits since its library does not have certain power components in it such as Power MOSFET, Power SCR etc. Otherwise rest everything is good. I faced some issues when I was creating a circuit of Multistage Power Amplifiers but then it was solved because I used Multisim Documentation and Help which was there online and also in the Software. I think some part of the software such as libraries having power components can also be updated with latest power components available in market. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering NI Multisim:

I would like to recommend NI Multisim to people who are freshers as well as industry professionals and also to electronics DIY enthusiasts who want to build and simulate some really good and amazing circuits and want to have accurate results while prototyping. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is NI Multisim solving and how is that benefiting you?

I am an Electronics and Telecommunication engineer and I happen to simulate circuits very often so I use Multisim every time. The Analysis options which Multisim provides for analyzing the waveforms and sweep analysis is very good and is always helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about NI Multisim?

Circuit Designing analyzing and verifying results. It is also helpful in teaching circuits. It is much much better than proteus. It's results are very much close to real world, if I use right components. I have solved Analog to digital and digital to Analog Converter using Multisim. It is very helpful in solving logics and algorithms. I have solved 5 bit Karnaugh map on multisim using logic converter tool. Logic converter tool gave me a an equation, which I used in making logic of my obstacle avoiding robot. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about NI Multisim?

I don't find many of the components, like microcontrollers and Arduino and other electronic instruments and ICs. Please include as much as microcontrollers and Arduinos as you can.

It doesn't have arduino and sensor library. I can't test or verify sensor results using multisim tool.

It is a suggestion, please make a library for arduino and related sensors like, ultrasonic sensor etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering NI Multisim:

It is a very good and user friendly simulation tool. It has lot of options. You can solve digital logics like Karnaugh map using this tool Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is NI Multisim solving and how is that benefiting you?

Many of the ICs and microcontrollers are not available. That is why, sometimes I have to use other simulation tools like proteus. But many of the times, I do not satisfy with the results of proteus, proteus always gives ideal results.

There are lot of benefits of NI Multisim, I found, it is very close to real world. Simulation results are very helpful in implementation of circuits and analysis. When I was in undergrad, I successfully tested ADC and DAC using Multisim. Based on the results of the simulation, I successfully implemented the circuit on vero-borad. And I got A grade in LICA (Linear Integrated and Circuit Analysis) subject. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
