"Integrated Cloud Access That Streamlines Collaboration and Reviews"
4/5
What do you like best about Altium Develop?

Having integrated cloud access is a very useful feature for our daily workflow. We can track for versions, follow a systematic review process (using the requirements portal) and can collaborate with colleagues from other departments like manufacturing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Altium Develop?

There are sometimes issues with syncing. There are some bugs with the implementation where the software says that a licences is not available even though no seats are occupied. But overall it’s not bad Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Complete PCB Library That Speeds Up Team Collaboration"
4/5
What do you like best about Altium Develop?

It has a complete library for PCB designing, and it makes project development faster in our process. We use it with the whole team, which helps avoid misunderstandings and reduces any lack of communication. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Altium Develop?

There are no pre-created basic templates, and the customization options are almost nonexistent. Pricing is also a big issue for us as we build larger projects, and sometimes it lags when handling connections. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Best Tool for Real-Time PCB Model Collaboration"
4/5
What do you like best about Altium Develop?

This is the best tool for developing PCB models and reviewing them directly with the team, without wasting time on revisions. All team members can see the progress in real time on the platform, all in one place. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Altium Develop?

The biggest drawback is the plan and licensing pricing, which feels too high for smaller projects. Also, the integrations are very hard to understand. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Highly Functional with Room for Stability Improvements"
3.5/5
What do you like best about Altium Develop?

I like that Altium Develop makes circuit boards. I also appreciate the eCAD integrations, as they make it easier to do cross-team development with 3D models. The initial setup of Altium Develop was easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Altium Develop?

I find the crashing, specifically in ActiveBOM and in the Explorer, to be problematic. It would be better if it could limit and cache queries to Database Libraries instead of querying on every navigation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Alanna Jordan of Altium Develop
