Featured Reviews

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.

Team collaboration has improved and project tracking is clearer but downtime still causes disruption
I think there are some parts of Lark that have not been translated, and sometimes there is a glitch where the product still uses Chinese words. Lark occasionally experiences downtime, and during those times, we usually use WhatsApp for communication and coordination, which can be frustrating. Regarding Lark's AI capabilities, I believe they are good in terms of governance and security. I think there is still room for improvement regarding the accuracy and reliability of Lark's AI output.
