Capital Reviews & Product Details

1) It is very easy to create components and designs in Capital Logic Designer, as easy as using paint!

2) Different Types of Analysis are available to verify the circuit designs created by the user. Example: Closed Circuit analysis, Voltage drop analysis, etc.

3) Capital is very easy and convenient to integrate with CAD software designs. (Not Capital Essentials)

4) Inbuuild Library is good enough and easy to add new Library content as well.

5) Provides a complete Electrical System Design Environment, which helps to manage the roles, documentation, data continuity, and reduces miscommunication. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

1) Capital Essentials is a very basic version and lacks many basic functionalities, and the full version, i.e, Capital, is expensive.

2) Although it is easy to create electrical designs, it is not that easy to learn the overall tool with the limited amount of free information available on the internet.

3) You cannot do Customization in the Capital Essentials version, and even if you want customization in Capital (Full Version), a separate license needs to be purchased for the same. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The integration between the different suites (i.e. Capital Logic and Capital Harness Designer). It helps to be able to trace the flows and data through the design.

I also find it really useful for it to seamlessly link to Teamcentre Unified as a PLM tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think it would be useful for it to incorporate a bit more AI into the tool, such as possible recommendations for improvements.

Additionally it would be good to have a native system for Design Rule Checks to verify all the ports have been connected etc... Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

That it exactly fits our demand when we figured out that Legacy tools are not longer capable to be finetuned. Also that the engineers are supported by DRCs to avoid mistakes. The openness to external Datasources and adaptability Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Licenens managment. Which Licensens for what? The engineering colleagues need to be taken more by the hand to get into Capital. Interactive Video support might be a good idea for starters. smart chatbot?

Better marketing offensive (we see it from a competitor ... which is doing a lot of networking) . Device Magament, it is not only electrical definition and 3D but also Device Managment to fill the BOM is needed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Intuitive, User Friendly, the best product to integrate to our digital thread platform. A lot of users like the compatibility and seem less connectivity of Capital and NX. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are several products Capital, essentials, vesys etc.. that confuse the identify the right fit for an organization. Also it would be great if Siemens can focus on license pricing similar to what you are doing with NX Value Based Licensing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that it can be used for Change Management - from identifying the change, impact and the approval process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I attended a talk on Change Management using Capital and it showed the engineer identifying all the impacted components for the proposed change. I have a product recommendation - I know that not all engineers will know what ALL the components are that will be impacted by the change. Why can't the software help engineers with making sure nothing is missed by displaying all the related components to the component that is being changed and then being able to select those for adding to the impacted screen instead of a manual entry.

Capital hast built in the specifics for harness topics since they are not available in classic PLM like Teamcenter.

All needed design tools are in one place and connected.

It is very important that this is part of the Siemens portfolio to enable end2end digital thread. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The integration to Teamcenter needs to be improved. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Capital automates much of thee manual work associated with designing and releasing wiring data. In tight timelines, only the Capital generative flow will allow companies to release on time. Customer support and engagement is great! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

With over 10 years of experience using capital, I have amassed a list of features I would like to have added. Some features have stubbornly not been developed in these may years. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

quick results, easy to use, super simple synthesis signal to net to wire 2 bundle, link to other platforms, underlay functional models, underlay constraints, floating license, Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Synthesis could generally be constructed or expanded for a part number generative flow, or also part number synthesis....text license sometimes not clear which Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

capital is an enterprise-level ECAD design tool, in the capital suite of applications we can create a design for any project from the ideation level to the realization level, it is one of the best tools in the market for electrical designing. it is easy to use, it can integrate with MCAD like NX CATIA,PROE Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Not much dislike about Capital, the cost of the software is a little bit expensive and it will take time to learn the software as a new user. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The ease of use and yet powerful! Good connectivity to other systems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Since I've been using the system for a very long time I I'm used to it. But it could be a bit slow sometimes. Multi-screen support and handling of big screens could be better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
