Exceptional user experience
What do you like best about the product?
Collaborative and modern design experience with useful user interface
What do you dislike about the product?
There is not any disliked experience yet
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Sharing and working collaborative with work with software engineers and managers
Easy to access to spec sheets, CAD files and component parametrics
What do you like best about the product?
use of schematics for electronic and mechanical comparison and review with teams, used of libraries
What do you dislike about the product?
so far I have not found anything to dislike
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Matching appropriate components to the design during reviews and sharing the information across teams
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Try it out for you design applications
Altium 365 is great!!
What do you like best about the product?
Collaboration with colleagues through version control and live comments are very helpful when reviewing schematics and layouts.
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike how Altium 365 sometimes fails to commit component changes and crashes occasionally.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Great for collaboration with remote workers.
Premium Version Control
What do you like best about the product?
Altium 365 offers a lot, but my favorite is that it has a solid native version control system that beats pure Git or SVN. This works great with libraries and with projects. The web interface is currently very light but is great for sharing with others and I look forward to the future.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sourcing data is pulled into components that are linked properly to their distributor, but this data is prone to error and is slow to update. I appreciate this feature especially given the current environment, but it falls a bit short and I still need to use external tools to manage my BOMs properly.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We previously used Git for version control, and since Altium uses binary files, it is not easy to compare version to version. 365 has a pretty nice version compare tool. This is the same with libraries.
Practicality
What do you like best about the product?
Simple to use, no need to generate documentation for the client to see
What do you dislike about the product?
Do not present more than one pcbdoc in the same project
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
present the project in a simple way
Altium 365 helps your work to be organized
What do you like best about the product?
Components are in one place. History tracking of components and projects is beneficial. I see library healt status immediately.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes it is laggy. But that is due to 3D.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am a library administrator. Altium 365 helps me work from home. I see library healt status immediately.
Altium 365 the prefect EDA project reviewing tool
What do you like best about the product?
It is easy to set up a review and give comments on a design.
Assign tasks to team members and resolve them.

What do you dislike about the product?
Not all fields in Altium 365 are easily copied with ctrl+c, ctrl+v especially use full when searching for a part or datasheet. Sometimes it works sometimes it does not.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Easy way to share designs both internally and externally. No need to have an Altium designer installed. Of course for the actual design work you need a designer license as well.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you doubting ask for a trial period or discount for the first year.
Great for remote work and collaborative work
What do you like best about the product?
Quick and easy component creation allows me to seamlessly choose alternates or substitutes during design if there isn't enough global supply. The ability to place comments on schematics and PCB documents has greatly helped to collaborate with different members of my team. Shared component libraries and projects, and easy to use web-based UI are some of my favourite features.
What do you dislike about the product?
A minor work-around is needed if I have an existing project linked to a private server that needs to be uploaded on Altium 365. Also, some users tend to get confused between Altium 365 account login and Altium Live login.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Altium 365 has significantly improved my team's productivity as it greatly helps in collaborating with different team members. Altium 365 has also helped to give non-electrical engineering users who don't have Altium Designer installed get better visibility on the ongoing projects by viewing "work in progress" schematics and PCB 3D models.
Altium 365 is great for version tracking and team collaboration.
What do you like best about the product?
- It is really easy to create and update projects.
- Reviewers can make comments without taking up an Altium license, using the online viewer.
- No need for a separate version control repository, unless desired as backup.
- Other users such as mechanical/firmware can be given access to the online project to export files without needing to go through the HW designer as the middle man.

What do you dislike about the product?
- The online PCB viewer (2D & 3D) can be slightly clunky. Viewing in Altium is easier.
- Right clicking in the side panel of the online viewer doesn't work, at least in Chrome (can't right-click +copy, etc.)
- I did not realize that managing release status in Altium 365 requires an upgraded subscription. So we had to devise a separate way to manage the status of board releases.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
No major problems have occurred so far, and the main benefit has been the ability of my team lead to be able to review the design without using one of our licenses (limited # as a startup).
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Give it a shot, it was quite helpful for us switching from Git as a small team.
An all in one solution for schematic and PCB design
What do you like best about the product?
The best feature of Altium as a whole has to be its extensive version control and collaboration features. It really helps make it a tool that stands out from the competition and contributes to making team work on electrical projects such a breeze.
What do you dislike about the product?
To be honest, Altium has a steep learning curve. The UI can get a little dense at times which makes it especially hard to use on computers with low resolutions and slow displays while the hotkeys and shortcuts take some time getting used to.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As stated before, the biggest obstacle around electronic centered projects is managing a huge team of engineers and freelancers, relaying feedback, and contributing ideas and improvements. The version control system helps iron out these obstacles and the team collaboration features make communication easier within the team.
