Overall Satisfaction with Altium Designer
We use Altium Designer to save us time during the design process. Previously, we had used a different tool that had much less reliability in it's error checking and generated less consistent manufacturing outputs. Altium Designer has helped us get to production with, on average, one less hardware revision than we had when using the other tool.
- Error Checking
- Manufacturing outputs
- Hierarchical Schematics
- Query language
- Quick library part creation
- Better 3D capabilities
- Ability to snap to 3D parts
- Compatibility with OS other than Windows
- Helped create product we sold 1M in revenue of last year
- Found problems with product early, saving ~100k
Altium Designer has significantly sped up our organization's efficiency. For layout especially, the speed in using Altium Designer is unmatched. We are able to go to production on a hardware product with less issues than before and are able to effectively review our hardware files across teams with it's easy to use interface
We originally used EAGLE cad, I could not find the tool in the above menu. Altium Designer is miles better than EAGLE with a much better user interface and the ability to select parts intelligently with filters that greatly speed up the design process. The error checking and manufacturing outputs are much smoother and easier to run as well.
