It has made our lives easier, especially in short-term but important projects. Since time is limited, the management of each step is very important and it provided us this convenience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Proteus?

Their screens could be more user friendly. When we look at other programs, I can also state that it is not a bad situation, since there is a similar situation. It would be nice if there were easier and more user-friendly screens though. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Easy to use, easy to teach, good results and performance, friendly GUI"
4/5
What do you like best about Proteus?

User Interface and how everything is accessible right in front of the user. So many device packages are available. Smooth running. It does not slow down the computer. Multi-layer PCB Designing. 3D rendering. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Proteus?

Searching into too many packages. Sometimes not finding the right device/package. Too much information makes it complex to select one thing. Less information about errors. Simulations run without incorporating a physical setup such as a grounding element. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Proteus?

Interface is Easy and Good for use , some pros here -

1.No need to purchase any hardware if you using proteus

2.Finding errors are very Helpful like Logical errors , semantic and do debugging very easily

3. Real time environment creation in a handful of the time Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Proteus?

1.Can't simulate or foresee " at the point " problems like Breaking a wire in between , loose , contacts ie , physical errors

2.Not all hardware systems or sensors are available for simulation

3.Solving a logic in real time also gets you more familiar with the basic concepts Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
