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.

Energy dashboards have given us clear cost insights and guide data driven production decisions
I hope Insights Hub can support a UMS idea and solution in the future. If we have a UMS hub or data center, Insights Hub could integrate with our database, allowing us to share one data center regardless of whether it is our MES system, SCADA system, or Insights Hub, which would be more efficient for a global company. Insights Hub could connect to our UMS data center, which would eliminate the need to rebuild a connection between the shop floor and Insights Hub. Additionally, Insights Hub could support MES functions, allowing us to integrate with the production line and transfer the ERP order from the ERP to our shop floor, thus helping the ERP be more efficient. This would include performing a buy-off from the shop floor to the ERP and adjusting the production plan for the ERP production order for greater efficiency in our production planning. I hope we can achieve MES functions in an IoT solution such as Insights Hub. One point I am not so satisfied with regarding Insights Hub is the gateway, which I believe runs on a Linux or Unix OS but does not display well for our end-users. This requires us to ask for help and support from our IT department as we cannot perform what we can do with a Windows device, such as RDP to the gateway and monitor any issues inside. Sometimes we do not know the issue exactly and have to check the log, which is very complex for the end-user.

"Using AMD Vivado Design Suite has helped me personally be more productive and improve the quality of my work."
"I really appreciate the IP Integrator in AMD Vivado Design Suite, but the real benefit is the integration with AMD Xilinx FPGAs."
"To others considering using AMD Vivado Design Suite, I recommend that it can be a fantastic tool for various applications, emphasizing the importance of integrating with third-party software."
"If people are working on FPGA design, AMD Vivado Design Suite is the one go-to tool that I would recommend for everyone."
"Insights Hub is a good IoT solution and cloud solution, with easy to normal implementation difficulty for a company, and it can provide some help for our company to do modifications or adjustments."
"Given that great variety and diversity of machines, the main characteristic of Insights Hub is that it allows me to talk to that diversity of machines, and therefore I can extract data from them and monitor my plant without needing to use additional developments or additional configurations."
"Insights Hub has provided significant positive impact to my organization, including 30 to 50 percent faster incident resolution, fewer SEV one outages, reduced alert fatigue by 20 to 30 percent, better SLA compliance, and increased customer satisfaction."
"Insights Hub is an overall major good framework for everybody to monitor the shop floor."
 

Cons

"The graphical user interface for IP integration is a disaster and needs to be rewritten from scratch."
"I consider AMD Vivado Design Suite a very large and complex tool, yet it can be slower than other integration tools."
"Synthesis and implementation can take considerable time. When I experiment with many different configurations, the iteration cycle can become quite long."
"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."
"Do not directly go into AMD Vivado Design Suite because it can be very complex for first-time users; first, you should understand the basics such as digital design fundamentals and signals and systems."
"AMD Vivado Design Suite can be improved in some of its components."
"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 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."
"The learning curve is steep as it requires skill to fully utilize and is not very beginner-friendly, and querying can be complex."
"One point I am not so satisfied with regarding Insights Hub is the gateway, which I believe runs on a Linux or Unix OS but does not display well for our end-users."
"As of now, Insights Hub is an under-developed platform, so there is no organization-level impact."
"Insights Hub has a connection with Grafana, but I would like it to be improved."
