Defending Allegro

archive
archive over 19 years ago

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

    Hi Drew,

    If you are going to be guided by anything I've said then I'd rather not lead you astray, if you want an independent opinion of PADS as it relates more specifically to your requirement's then mail me at bdavis@bluearc.com with any questions. I've been using PADS since 1988 so have a reasonable handle on it.
