Featured Reviews

Brice-Abrioux - PeerSpot reviewer
Lead Cyber Architect at a energy/utilities company with 10,001+ employees
Micro-segmentation has delivered deep flow visibility and simplified firewall rule management
Although mapping is currently fine, Akamai Segmentation [Private Offer Only] can improve by providing a more useful and visually appealing graphical user interface for mapping. While we can automate rules through API calls, this is not entirely possible with the same API. Navigation between different sources and generations of APIs can make it time-consuming to achieve cartography. While labeling is beneficial, there is still room for user experience improvements. The improvements are not solely due to the Akamai project; they also stem from issues related to CMDB and the information systems of our company, where sometimes the information is inconsistent, causing Akamai to be unable to automate labeling if that information is not consistently provided.
Alen Cherian - PeerSpot reviewer
Associate Digital ASIC design engineer at a manufacturing company with 10,001+ employees
Created complex video pipelines and now design reusable IP-based FPGA projects efficiently
The best features of AMD Vivado Design Suite is that it is a mature tool with a very good GUI. The most fascinating feature is its block design feature, which allows me to add and drop various IPs from AMD Vivado Design Suite's IP catalog and create a block design for my video designs. That is the one feature that I find very interesting. It is also very easy to source control AMD Vivado Design Suite projects using Git. The IP catalog is another valuable feature, and it is a very good tool that I install on all of my employees' project devices.

Cons

"It is quite expensive, to be honest, but it is really useful, as we see positive results."
"I consider AMD Vivado Design Suite a very large and complex tool, yet it can be slower than other integration tools."
"The only disadvantage would be the CLI and UI not being on the same page, and I personally have run into a lot of issues on that aspect."
"Synthesis and implementation can take considerable time. When I experiment with many different configurations, the iteration cycle can become quite long."
"I think the build times in certain projects are an area for improvement. When the design gets bigger, the build times to generate the bitstream can take hours."
"AMD Vivado Design Suite could be improved regarding speed; sometimes it will take so much time to show the schematics and performance analyzing tool."
"The graphical user interface for IP integration is a disaster and needs to be rewritten from scratch."
"AMD Vivado Design Suite could be improved with clearer error messages, more actionable suggestions for resolving timing violations, and a more responsive interface when working with large designs."
"The design suite is very effective for its intended purpose, but it has many software bugs and is sometimes counter-intuitive, which makes the workflow worse."
