Pros

“I would really like the same attention for creating electrical designs - wiring drawings in the mechanical design, single-line diagrams, wiring length 2D drawings and wiring size calculations.”

David T.

Managing Director

“The game changer for me is that working in the cloud mitigates so many issues we had with hardware computers - security, data backup systems, collaboration, and system updates.”

David T.

Managing Director

“Its cloud-based platform is a major advantage, providing convenient access across a wide range of devices, while the quality of customer support further enhances the experience.”

Zach A.

CDO

Pros

“What I liked the most is that its feature of being able to share design files instantly with team members, view changes live, and comment on specific parts of the PCB layout saved us a lot of time and eliminated version control issues.”

Fatih N.

Embedded hardware engineer

“Unlike traditional design environments that rely on file-based sharing and manual version control, Altium 365 allows real-time access and editing of PCB projects from anywhere.”

Bethlehem D.

Electronic Engineer

“I like Altium 365 feature of automatic Bill of Materials (BOM) generation, I also liked the interactive web based design viewing and storage capability of Altium 365”

Binyam H.

Electromechanical Engineer

Cons

“There are a lot of things missing such as mate option (in S.W. you can mate axis ) and threads , also the import option for surfaces is not good”

Yarin M.

Mechanical engineer

“The Standard Plan does not include Company managed data and release management to fundamental things for everybody using CAD seriously, although they are lonesome riders!-)”

Jörg K.

Freelancer

“It tends to get confused about what was most recently opened, and I wish there were a way to tag and catalog classifications of parts and search for them rather than just by the name.”

Stewart F.

I don’t give myself a title

Cons

“The thing I liked the least is that availability of free resources to learn the tool is not abundant”

Mahmut Ç.

Senior electronic hardware design engineer

“I feel that it is sometimes unclear how the projects in the cloud are connected to the local copy of the project. And because of that, I feel discouraged to use the functionality, being afraid to mess up the project structure or the project files either in the cloud or on the local machine.”

Saulius S.

Electronics engineer

“Furthermore, its dependence on a reliable internet connection for cloud access can lead to performance issues if the connection is unstable.”

Abrham D.

Electrical and computer Engineer
