I can't do my job without Altium now. I  appreciate the help I get from your specialists.

I love the commenting, the ease of project sharing between colleagues and especially the ability to view the design files in a browser, without having to install Altium Designer.

Copying parameters is a bit difficult, but I guess I haven't discovered it yet.

With the ability to request parts, review designs and share project information and only require an account and invite to the organisation is a great bonus.

The option to live track components costs and availability is also a huge time saver.

Altium is an extremely useful and intuitive ECAD tool that allows users to create customized processes, design complex boards accurately, and produce great documentation and PCBAs.

It is a tad confusing and I still have difficulty figuring out how to solve my problems.

I enjoy the ability to seamlessly interact with my teammates on the design and implementation of our projects.

Extremely happy to have altium 365  for collaborative  design team experience.

Security while designing by rigorous and strong rule setting. Loads of functions that are useful and solid.

I feel that it is sometimes unclear how the projects in the cloud are connected to the local copy of the project.

It makes organizing different projects and revisions very easy. The BOM feature is very convenient in estimating BOM cost and the way the BOM can check for part cost online make it even better.

Also I like the workspace component libraries, although I probably do not understand how they work and how they integrate with a design project completely.

Accessing Company based File Libraries can be difficult.

I started learning Altium at the start of 2023, and even just after a month of semi-regular use, I feel like I am already pretty well versed in both schematic and PCB design.

Getting multi users used to Altium 365 was somewhat difficult, but this goes with any new product really.

I like the completeness of the tools offered to design a professional PCB. I also enjoy the simple UI and cleanliness of the software.

Excellent from start to finish. It makes designing, reviewing and publishing of electronic products so much easier than other software.

I have used about a half a dozen design platform during my career and Altium 365 seems to have adopted the best features of all of them and combined them into one easy to use platform.

The limitation to work only with the cloud. I would be grat if the option have a version with closed local network.

And because of that, I feel discouraged to use the functionality, being afraid to mess up the project structure or the project files either in the cloud or on the local machine.

I can manage just about every aspect of a project from within Altium, on the fly. I really love using this program.

Integrated with our old repository seamlessly. Loved the easy to understand interface.

I don't know the software well enough to have specific cons, but sometimes the BOM exporting process can be a bit weird and/or difficult.

Very intuitive and easy to use and enabled highly functional collaborative design activity between engineering design peers.

Reviewing the CAD and designing is easy.2. Also it has integrated simulation tools to simulate3.

Ease of use, and ability to track and handle multiple electronics designs.

We can all access the same library and share parts with ease.

What I like most about the Altium 365 is how easy it is to use the software and upload my files to the server. It's great to be able to easily view and share my projects wherever I am.

Altium 365 has a lot of features that increase design and layout capability. Use is intuitive and integration to existing designs is seemless.

Sometimes difficult to import assemblies from other softwares.

The interface is pretty straightforward and the team behind SimScale is constantly working on improving it. The automated mesher functions great and succeeds at meshing complex geometries.

There are problems sometimes with darawing or software and you are not quite sure what is really wrong that sumulation can not start.

I am an OpenFOAM user and I like the freedom it gives the user to play with the parameters. SimScale offers the same level of freedom but with an interface that's simple and effortless to handle.

Sometimes it was a bit confusing what could create a simulation fail.

From the onboarding project that helped me get started, to the regular web-meetings with an experienced Customer Success Engineer, the customer support of SimScale excels at many levels.

As a user also of moldflo software (Cadmould or Solidworks Plastics) I'm still lookig for this functionality in the SimScale, however CFD simulations are still difficult to run.

Clear guide for the input of the parameters. Fantastic support: fast, competent and helpful.

Basically, I am very satisfied with the software and look forward to the further projects. So far, I have been able to increase efficiency from project to project.

It is easy to use and easy to access. Straight forwardness of the most functions which is good sometimes.

The ease of use and how quickly I was able to run a basic simulation was amazing. Even importing geometry was easy.

Maybe, the website is a little bit confusing, and the materials in some case is not updated up to day.

It is possible to research or test new designs to see if it gives a better result. Here's an easy way to save time and money.

I love the ability to import my existing 3D files into SimScale and work on those easily. This makes it a true cross compatible application.

If you use the chat you will have mostly an answer within a couple of minutes from one of the lovely simscale staff. You really feel that they will do their best to make your project a success.

Excellent product at a reasonable price. With a professional subscription you get privacy for your data and a fixed amount of core hours that can be used for simulations.

What I liked the most about the platform is the dedicated customer support.

Our use of SimScale was, in every respect, the product of an unforeseen use-case - and it happened to have a positive impact on our company.

The direct browser integration makes it suitable for all operation systems. Having 64 cores available is very impressive.
