Best Tool for Real-Time PCB Model Collaboration
Reviewed on Jun 09, 2026
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
This is the best tool for developing PCB models and reviewing them directly with the team, without wasting time on revisions. All team members can see the progress in real time on the platform, all in one place.
What do you dislike about the product?
The biggest drawback is the plan and licensing pricing, which feels too high for smaller projects. Also, the integrations are very hard to understand.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
All PCB components are available in one place, which helps us develop faster and finalize projects in less time, with fewer errors.

Incredible ECAD with a Powerful Altium365 Ecosystem
Reviewed on Jun 08, 2026
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
Aside from being an incredible ECAD software, I really appreciate the Altium365 ecosystem for project management, part library management, and project sharing.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish it ran natively on MacOS! It works fine through Parallels, but it would be wonderful to have it running with the speed and efficiency of a native M-series processor.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The complexities of high-speed multi-layer designs, and complex mechanical integrations

All-in-One PCB Design Platform That Streamlines Our Workflow
Reviewed on Jun 02, 2026
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
It offers schematic capture, PCB layout, component management, and design validation all in one platform. It has really helped us streamline our process and keep everything in one place.
What do you dislike about the product?
It is very hard to use in the beginning, because there is a very complex setup to learn. Licensing is also very costly for smaller teams.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It solves the challenges of managing PCB workflows by providing a unified platform for design, validation, and collaboration. It also helps us reduce errors.

Highly Functional with Room for Stability Improvements
Reviewed on May 29, 2026
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
I like that Altium Develop makes circuit boards. I also appreciate the eCAD integrations, as they make it easier to do cross-team development with 3D models. The initial setup of Altium Develop was easy.
What do you dislike about the product?
I find the crashing, specifically in ActiveBOM and in the Explorer, to be problematic. It would be better if it could limit and cache queries to Database Libraries instead of querying on every navigation.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Altium Develop for circuit board creation. The eCAD integrations make cross-team development with 3D models easier.

Great for Complex Layouts, Buggy Seat Management
Reviewed on May 29, 2026
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
I find that the routing and design rules in Altium Develop work great, making it easier for me to do schematic work. Although the library was a bit annoying to use at first, after setting it up with a lot of components, it works really well in our workflow.
What do you dislike about the product?
Honestly, the biggest problem is the seats. They're super buggy and require me to manually kick people off sometimes even if their computer is off or their Altium is closed. The seat management is a pretty big issue within the team and the only one that seems to be able to kick them off is the super admin.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Altium Develop simplifies schematic work with great routing and design rules. Initial library setup was tricky but now fits well into our workflow. However, seat management is a major issue, requiring manual intervention to manage access.

Reviewed on May 28, 2026
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
The feature set is just what a smaller team needs - and at a very reasonable price. Nod bad for a real pro tool!
What do you dislike about the product?
Every now and then I run into some weird issues - keyboard shortcuts not working, editor/license seat not working after a network connection reset
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Altium Develop provides us with the complete EDA toolkit - from requirements management to design, component management, lifecycle management and teamwork facilitation - all in one reasonably priced package

Easy Cloud Backup Setup and Smooth MCAD Integration
Reviewed on May 28, 2026
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
I like how easy it is to set up and use the cloud backup. The integration with MCAD is also very useful and makes the overall workflow smoother.
What do you dislike about the product?
Performance can be slow at times, which makes the overall experience feel less responsive than I’d like. The pricing also feels prohibitive for hobbyists, especially if you’re just trying it out or using it casually.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use it to keep track of the BOM and to automate the creation of design packages for suppliers, which makes the handoff clearer and more consistent.
