"Good tool"

5/5

What do you like best about Siemens EDA?

I have no preferences or sentiments of my own, but I can share knowledge regarding Mentor Graphics. It was a business recognised for its electronic design automation (EDA) software and services, which were employed in the design of semiconductors and electronic systems. It joined Siemens Digital Industries Software after being purchased by Siemens in 2017. Please feel free to inquire if you're seeking for special details regarding Mentor Graphics.

What problems is Siemens EDA solving and how is that benefiting you?

Electronic design automation (EDA) solutions are the area of expertise of Siemens company Mentor Graphics. They aid in the creation of intricate electronic systems, ranging from integrated circuits to whole systems, by engineers and designers. For a variety of industries, including automotive, aerospace, and electronics, their software products streamline the design, simulation, and testing processes, ultimately cutting down on development time and costs.

As an AI language model, I don't directly gain from their solutions, but their tools inadvertently boost innovation and technology, which may result in better hardware for running and training models like me, perhaps improving our performance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Best competitor for other ECAD tools - Mentor graphics"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Siemens EDA?

Mentor graphics is a most advanced competitor tool in the market compared to ther ecad tools.The features includes analysis work and simulation part of it.footprint creation integrated with symbols and schematic. Layout designing includes less time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Siemens EDA?

For a beginner it takes more time to understand the features and shortcuts to design the layout. Little overpriced compared to other ecadtools. 3d model viewing takes more time . Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Siemens EDA:

If user needs an advanced and all included features to design pcb , it is better to go with mentor graphics. one who are looking for budget friendly tool this is quite difficult to recommend. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Siemens EDA solving and how is that benefiting you?

Mentor graphics has integrated Analysis and simulations features that saves less time for analysis team.

Exproting DXF ,Stepfiles other documents has been smooth nowdays with upgraded version. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Good Frontend Simulator for Verification"

4/5

Describe the project or task Siemens EDA helped with:

I worked with Modelsim when I was self training. I found Modelsim to be better than various other simulators as it gives better control than ISE. I simulated different Verilog designs using it. It has always been my go-to. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Siemens EDA?

It is the lite version of Questasim and provides most of the basic functionality better than other simulators. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Siemens EDA?

Extended functionalities of QuestaSim are missing. Support for UVM is also not there. Including all these things would be better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Siemens EDA:

It is suitable for RTL Verification. But if you are looking for UVM support, consider buying QuestaSim. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Siemens EDA solving and how is that benefiting you?

I did task-based and direct stimulus verification when I was training myself in college time. It was much better a simulator than ISE, in my opinion. It allowed us to integrate Modelsim into ISE, and we can use it as a default simulator. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I wanted to design Analog as well Digital IC to demonstrate the working of ICs on Mentor Graphics EDA tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Siemens EDA?

It helps to design complete electronic system from chip's packaging to PCB with connectors and cable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Siemens EDA?

In starting it is a bit difficult to remember all the steps to design a circuit but once u get familiar it is easy to go. Overall I would say it provides the best tool for circuit design. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Siemens EDA:

I would recommend to everyone Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"QuestaSim : Fast and User Friendly"

4/5

Describe the project or task Siemens EDA helped with:

I used QuestaSim during my time in Maven, I had used products by Aldec, but after using Questa I found that it was much more fast, and it had much better user interface. Working on it for any sort of verification along with functional or code coverage is a great idea. Although I felt the user interface is little cluttered up for small screen sizes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Siemens EDA?

Its fast. Much faster than few verification platforms that I have seen. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Siemens EDA?

Its interface is too cluttered up. It needs some sort of redesign. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Siemens EDA solving and how is that benefiting you?

I am not currently using it, but have used it earlier for rtl verification, functional and code coverage, assertions check, UVM TB design. And compared to many other eda tools it is much faster. I would easily prefer it over many other eda tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
