It is beginner-friendly software. Eagle has a steeper learning curve. If you are a student or have just entered in the design world, then eagle is the most helpful tool for you. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

In eagle downloaded version you can not design more than two layers. Eagle have user interface problem. Eagle does not have set of keywords as other softwares of Autodesk Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Eagle is definitely a good PCB design software. To be honest, we have been using it since early version 7 (perpetual license).

The simple Eagle software has been included in a big, partially not useful software package. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Now we would like to get more features and looking at this new package (Fusion 360 and Eagle) is just discouraging.

We will switch to another software (KiCAD?) soon.

CADSoft philosophy was good. Now it's just a cash machine facing a serious churn threat. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is very user-friendly and cost-effective for beginners who learn basic PCB design and it provides lots of properties for students or the people who are using this program for their hobbies. On the other hands, the community is very huge and you can find lots of components in the libraries. If you do not have the exact component in your library, you can easily find a similar one in the community. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It can be much more intelligent to route the paths by implementing some AI algorithms. Thanks to this new technology, the routing paths will occupy less place and the size of the PCB will be much smaller than before. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I appreciate the library of parts that are available to you and that it provides both a physical view and a schematic view of these parts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I wish that the on-boarding tutorials were more helpful in getting started with the program. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Starting from the schematic design entry to creating libraries, generating Bill of material, doing PCB layout design, Eagle has the features to suit all your design requirements. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

3d model and auto routing features can ve enhanced much so as to be useful for increasing the productivity and efficiency. Similarly drc can be enhanced much for high speed designs Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Its very lite software loads very fast, never crashes, and good for small level board designs that involve components less than 1000 Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Doesn't have many features compared to similar ECAD software like Altium. Main issue is new versions have problem opening old version files, its very hard and have to maintain different versions to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Very easy to make new circuit designs. Components are very straight forward. They are filtered according to their names. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Testing was not possible on the circuit. I created a schematic and tried printing it. The board had errors. Which were accepted by eagle. Auto routing is not good at all. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Easy to use.

Free to prototype and learn.

Max components libraries are available.

Famous vendors provide compatible relevant eagle libraries of their components. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Need some option to define a board as a library that can make it quick to use to design in other larger layouts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As an Electronics Engineer, Eagle had made my academic life more manageable to create my PCB just by having a basic schematic and a little knowledge of component placing for better functioning.

I have designed many PCBs using Eagle software, namely programming PCB, fire alarm panel's PCB, LED driver PCB.

The switching of the schematic to the actual board is also helpful with maximum accuracy and even with the feature of auto-routing for better component placing and connecting the tracks and via. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are seldom any shortcomings of this software,

I don't think there's anything as to why not to choose the software for PCB Designing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's super user friendly. Anyone can learn it with self learning. Library creation is really easy Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It doesn't offer signal & power integrity solutions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
