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.

Image optimization has reduced bandwidth costs and improves e‑commerce product delivery speed
High-performance caching is very important to me. When you cache the images, such as for the most visited products and pages, it is faster to retrieve them because they are already in-memory. This means they load faster compared to accessing other products that are pulled from storage, which can take longer. I do see an impact from lazy loading. With lazy loading, as a user accesses the product page, images load in an asynchronous way, meaning not all images load at once. For example, if there are ten products, they do not all load together, which saves bandwidth instead of loading all thousands of products at once. For analytics, I rarely pay that much attention to them, though they are useful for monitoring the website. I have not experienced a challenge where I really need to go deep into the analytics; they are quite optimized primarily for bandwidth monitoring. I have not experienced any technical disadvantages with ImageKit, though I have not tried their video storage and delivery aspect. I would rate this review a 9 out of 10.

Cons

"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."
"AMD Vivado Design Suite can be improved in some of its components."
"I consider AMD Vivado Design Suite a very large and complex tool, yet it can be slower than other integration tools."
"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."
"There is a huge disparity in the pricing model, from the free option to the $9 plan, then it jumps to the $89 plan, which is quite substantial."
"ImageKit can improve on the integration side because their downtime occurs quite often."
