PCBflow Pros and Cons

PCBFlow is a very useful ans friendly cloud-based analysis tool to give you advanced advise in terms of manufacturing or pricing of the product. I tried to give it a shot and have a report of analysis using ODB++ files of my prototype PCB board and the result was fascinating. PCBFlow gave a a comprehensive report of any electronic concerns in my design and report some tips to resolve the issue. However there are some prons and cons since some PCB CAD tools can give you a similar advise when you just desiging your project. on the other hand, the pricing report based on the generated BOM was incredibly heplful.

some reports are too much and not necessary like in my PCB prototype there are some words written in top overlay layer which is just for legend or project name, the analysis report were mainly about those part which is not really necessary. on the other hand there were some useful advises in terms of drawing high speed signals, line width etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
