Defending Allegro

archive

Hello All.

I apologize if this belongs on a different forum.

I regularly recommend Allegro+OrCAD CIS to my clients and customers and so far I've had very high acceptance / adoption.

However, I am currently being asked to defend replacing a company's toolset from basic level PADS to Allegro.  The in-house designer thinks Allegro is crap and after 10 minutes of use he stormed in to see me and told me I was full of it.

He asked "what does Allegro do that PADS doesn't? Every I see takes longer to do in Allegro"

I have seen lots of nits in my own perusal of PADS but I am asking those who have successfully used both tools to chime in as to pros and cons.

Thanks,
Bill

    Interesting Drew & I respect your opinion. I guess its a case of favouring what you know best. Sure AD has a few bugs as any piece of software does, but certainly no showstoppers....

    My biggest problem is that I do not know Allegro well enough to give a constructive opinion, its the learning curve and unfriendlyness of it all that to me seems so uneccassary, and to a point Cadence have shot themselves in the foot as it makes it an unviable system to learn when your getting pressured by the MD to go 'faster faster' !!
