#181819 - Opinion of Altium Responding to: ???'s previous message |

We just wish they'd fix the bugs in the software (instead of introducing new ones, like how AD10's differential routing is broken) instead of pushing their shit to the "cloud" and creating "vaults," which seem like a solution in search of a problem. Andy, Overall, what is your opinion of Altium? We are running PCAD 2001 (so almost anything will be an improvement) and are in the market for a new product, Altium being the obvious upgrade path. We had a sales meeting with them and everything looks so good, but I remember PCAD never meeting its promised potential. I did press them about the China thing, and was told that the Australian folk are being transplanted to Shanghai and that support presently comes from and will continue to come from the US (I am in Canada). Other rumours suggest that 60% of the Sydney office has been let go. http://www.embeddedrelated.com/usenet/em...6560-1.php At the risk of hijacking the thread, does anyone have opinions of other schematic capture/PCB packages. I know Cadence promises Allegra/Orcad will read PCAD files and libraries. I have seen Eagle treated with disdain in this forum. -Aubrey |
