Altium Develop Reviews & Product Details

I like the user experience of the interface. I appreciate Altium 365 and that I can share designs and showcase them quickly. I found the installation of Altium Develop very easy and intuitive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

When switching from 3D to 2D in the PCB, my screen sometimes goes completely blank. Loading can also take a bit longer. When I click on the cross-reference in the schematic, it works again. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really like the Altium 365 web portal for collaboration. It makes it easy to share and collaborate on designs that are known to be up to date, so there's no need to worry about dealing with final XX (for real this time) versions on Google Drive. Altium Develop is a powerful tool that is more than capable of handling any challenge we can throw at it. I picked up in college and stuck with it The initial setup was very easy, the price is reasonable now with the new pricing. It also simplifies collaboration with outside collaborators since they use it too, making it easy to pull in their designs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don't use the built-in simulation software yet as I still need to learn how to use it. I'm sure that it is capable but it's dense to learn from the poking that I've done so far. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It has very unified design environment and power pcb design tools. best thing about Altium Develop is strong component management like there are built in libraries and integration with supplier data allow designers to easily find. perfect 3D visualisation. it brings schematic design, PCB layout and documentation in one place to develop faster and without getting confused Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

When we start creating bigger PCB projects that time it feels little bit slow and sync issue are there. Initial setup and configuration is very complex and takes time to setup for the teams and also there are some third party integration limitation in this tool.

I really appreciate the component library management features, as well as the import tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Managing the board’s 3D view is difficult. Doing translations and rotations, in particular, feels complicated and not very intuitive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I appreciate most about Altium Develop is its license management system. For a small design and development team, it’s very convenient to manage and share a limited number of licenses efficiently, which makes it a cost-effective and flexible fit for our needs.

We’re also planning to extend access to Altium Develop to our component purchasing team. That plan highlights how versatile the platform can be and how well it supports cross-functional use across different departments. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We are still in the early stages and aren’t yet able to fully leverage all the capabilities of the Altium Develop platform and Altium Designer. Areas like design BOM management, purchasing BOMs, and managing alternative parts are still challenging for us to implement, most likely because our experience with the platform is limited so far.

That said, we’re confident we’ll be able to deepen our understanding of these topics over time, especially with the help of the extensive documentation available. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The best part about Altium is that it includes all the components and parts needed for PCB design. The whole team can work in one place, review each other’s work, and leave remarks on it, which makes collaboration much easier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

For small companies and projects it is very costly to buy the license and use it. But limiteed integrations feels like a boundation Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

For me as a mechanical/electrical engineer Co design feature and app mąkę pcb integration so much easier and faster Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I dont like that i can not redefine the PCB layout easily- the dimentions in sketch ect. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Current development standard for PCB and many engineers prefer it Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We have two workspaces now. We have reached out to support multiple times and no one has responded or helped us. It’s been three months since I’ve filed a support ticket. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find that the routing and design rules in Altium Develop work great, making it easier for me to do schematic work. Although the library was a bit annoying to use at first, after setting it up with a lot of components, it works really well in our workflow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Honestly, the biggest problem is the seats. They're super buggy and require me to manually kick people off sometimes even if their computer is off or their Altium is closed. The seat management is a pretty big issue within the team and the only one that seems to be able to kick them off is the super admin. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Aside from being an incredible ECAD software, I really appreciate the Altium365 ecosystem for project management, part library management, and project sharing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I wish it ran natively on MacOS! It works fine through Parallels, but it would be wonderful to have it running with the speed and efficiency of a native M-series processor. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
