Best On-Premises Product Design Software of 2025

Altium Designer® offers a unified design environment backed by over 35 years of innovation and development. From schematic to PCB layout and interactive differential pair routing, to design documentation and a seamless ECAD/MCAD integration, Altium Designer empowers engineers with a single view of every aspect of the PCB design process. By accessing all design tools in one place, engineers can complete their entire design process within the same intuitive environment and deliver high-quality products quickly. Features of Altium Designer include stackup planning, anonymous sharing, data management, 3D visualization, multi-board assembly, documentation, output configuration, and more. With the addition of Altium 365, users can choose between accessing the program online and on-premises.

You can design, share, and manufacture all from one place without having to install or configure anything. Altium Designer allows you to connect directly to the platform without having to change the way that you design electronics. Altium 365 doesn't require additional licenses and is included in your subscription. Transparency in reviews and design sharing will help you bring better-quality products to market quicker than your competitors. You can share, in real-time and without leaving your design space, the status and progress of your projects with your team members, manufacturers, clients, and anyone else who can review and comment. Anybody with Internet access can view, compare, contrast, and comment on your projects without the need for additional Altium Designer licenses. You can make electronic and mechanical collaboration challenges a competitive advantage by working seamlessly between domains without losing sight or time.

Enhance and simplify the process of creating, configuring, and managing technical illustrations to accelerate the product lifecycle with a robust, adaptable, and extensible toolkit. The IgniteTech Auto-Trol technical configuration solution is designed for on-premise deployment and comprises two key components: Konfig and Technical Illustrator. Konfig serves as a comprehensive configuration management tool that combines electronic document/data management (EDM), product data/lifecycle management (PLM), and workflow (WF) functionalities into one cohesive platform. Meanwhile, Technical Illustrator is a sophisticated computer-aided design (CAD) application that enables the generation and oversight of technical illustrations. This powerful combination allows for effective document storage, version control management, and workflow automation. By providing detailed technical illustrations, which are crucial for product assembly, operation, service, sales, support, and training resources, companies can ensure they remain competitive in the marketplace. Ultimately, this solution not only streamlines processes but also enhances the quality and accessibility of essential technical documentation.
