It like the User interface which gives feel of professional software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Less features. I did not like the part of not able to import footprints from external sources. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really like how easy it is to make a PCB in CircuitMaker. I have used Altium Desinger before, and I like how I can use this software with a similar design flow. The other things I love are the cloud integration, and the plugin with Fusion 360, similar to MCAD Codesigner. If you are looing for software to design simple PCBs, this is for you!

The application appears to be built off of Altium desinger, but it is missing lots of the same features. I get that they want you to pay for the better software, but some of the key interface elements are in different locations, so it is a bit difficult to switch between the two.

The UI and workflow is similar to Altium Designer as it supports a real PCB level design not just simplified circuit drawing. Octopart and Altium's component libraries. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Not ideal for proprietary or even semi sensitive work. Saving and loading work relies on internet connectivity. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Very wide library and very easy to learn. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Found PCB design functions a bit hard to use, but may be due to my lack of experience on this field. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Altium CircuitMaker contains many features also found in Altium Designer, which makes it a great learning tool and a stepping stone to deciding if Altium Designer is worthwhile. It isn't really missing any major features that makes this unusable for most users.

Additionally, it's really refreshing that such a polished ECAD program is available for free to makers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

KiCAD was my first and most used ECAD program before CircuitMaker. A simple way to import KiCAD project files into CircuitMaker with minimal work would be a worthwhile feature.

Another thing I dislike is that it's only for Windows operating systems. I use a Macbook for personal use at home, so I have to start up a Windows session on my MacBook to be able to use CircuitMaker Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Upsides using Altium CM for me and my development team is eas of making designing and developing testing our PCBs at large scale. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Downside we experience using Altium CM would be nothing. Great help from our product account manager or say support team.

3d designing cloud be a part on improvement. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Wholesome features available for circuit board making and designing like from being able to create schematic diagrams to testing and stimulating circuit boards all there.

Quick and easy to access various different electrical and electronics components in the library.

I am able to draw complicated circuit wirings with very easily with the help of this tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing big issue or problem to call out here for this tool but Some times may rendering issue for large size files. But it's fine. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Most amazing thing about this tool that I can definitely say is it's completely free.

Large library source for any components needed.
