"Excellent PCB Design Tool with a Simple UI and Smooth Collaboration"

4/5

What do you like best about Altium Develop?

Altium Develop is an excellent tool for PCB design, it allows for several people to work on the same project. The UI is surprisingly simple for such a complicated software and the performance is also not that demanding which is good. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Altium Develop?

I would say that the biggest downside of using Altium is the price. While it is a great program the cost makes it an enterprise only tool and not hobby tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Promising direction, but some features are unclear / missing"

3.5/5

What do you like best about Altium Develop?

I use it daily to design HDI and RF boards. The current pricing is very favorable for startups and small companies for the feature set it provides. As we had previous experience with the Altium Designer the switch to the Altium Develop was mostly seamless for us (minus missing managed templates). The unlimited A365 accounts make it easy for the entire team to collaborate with the designers and integrates into our workflow well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Altium Develop?

Not all features are available. Some important ones, such as managed templates and project review, were presented during the trial but were removed after I subscribed to the software. Customer support is only done via forums and it is visible that the Altium team does not have clear narrative or knowledge what Altium Agile or Develop should provide or contain. A clear comparison table of the features available in both versions would be helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Alanna Jordan of Altium Develop

Thank you for sharing your experience with Altium Develop. We understand the importance of managed templates and project review, and we are working to address these concerns. We will also consider providing a clear comparison table of features between versions to assist our users in making informed decisions. Thank you again for sharing your feedback.

"Intuitive Interface and Sleek GUI That Make Tasks Quick"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Altium Develop?

The interface is intuitive, and it only takes a few "clicks" to perform the action I want. I also like the look of the GUI, even though that doesn’t really affect my efficiency. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Altium Develop?

The roaming license has been removed, and using the site with a poor internet or cell phone connection can be challenging. I also have some difficulty understanding how plug-ins are purchased, including the cost and related details. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Seamless Schematic-to-PCB Sync with Powerful Rule-Based Routing"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Altium Develop?

What I like most about Altium Designer is how smoothly it integrates schematics with the PCB layout. It keeps everything synchronized, so updates carry through cleanly, design changes are quicker to implement, and it’s easier to avoid mistakes. I also appreciate the rule-based design approach and the powerful routing tools, which make complex boards simpler to lay out and more reliable to build. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Altium Develop?

What I dislike about Altium Designer is its high cost and steep learning curve. For new users, it can feel overwhelming at first, and on larger designs the performance can slow down noticeably. I also run into occasional bugs, and the frequent updates tend to disrupt my workflow more than they should. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Altium Develop solving and how is that benefiting you?

Altium Designer addresses the problem of fragmented PCB design workflows by bringing schematics, PCB layout, design rules, and components together in a single integrated platform. This integration helps reduce errors, saves time during revisions, and makes it easier to manage complex designs. For me, that translates into better design accuracy and a faster overall development process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
