It also help to understand cost behind a particular feature. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Cost summary contains a lot of data and can not be customized. So you need to fetch out relevant information.

I particularly dislike the speed part, it should be faster for PCBA. Many processes are missing and need more enhancement. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The ability to run cost evaluation from the earliest stages of concept, in defining data driven targets, incorporating internal manufacturing, logistics, post assembly process, procurement, supply chain, etc. differentiates aPriori from the other tolls in the marketplace. I have been to various other conferences - and the focus of presentations is "what you can do to estimate cost," while aPriori has an ongoing focus on "how can we improve our tool to make your job better." Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Because of the advanced level of logic and data integration, the time to release for new features - particularly earth-shattering innovations, is long - but in the need to balance frequency of releases and training to use the new technology there is a customer call for less frequent upgrades. I also see a disconnect between user customization and sharing of "missing" data (particularly expansion and incorporation of machines and/or materials not currently in the OOTB databases) in a timely and efficient manner.
