What I like best is the speed—Sigrity X's distributed simulation cuts SI/PI analysis time significantly compared to older setups, up to 10x faster in some cases. The unified Layout Workbench and single .spd file format also make it much easier to move between simulation types without juggling multiple files. Integration with Allegro X for early-stage issue detection saves a lot of rework later in the design cycle. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
There's a steep learning curve, especially for someone without a deep SI/PI background—the interface feels dense and takes time to get comfortable with. Setting up multi-board or multi-fabric simulations can be finicky, and error logs aren't always descriptive, so troubleshooting a misconfiguration takes longer than it should. Licensing is also pricey, which makes it hard to justify for smaller projects that don't need the full analysis depth. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
