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.

Vice President, Information Technology & Logistics at a comms service provider with 51-200 employees
Open source platform has transformed daily operations and now supports all portals and logistics
The best features Lucee CFML Server offers include high performance, it is lightweight, it is open source so multiple people built upon it, it has great admin features where you can log in and create different processes, and it has seamless integration with Java. Out of those features, I find myself relying on high performance and ease of use the most. While using CFML since ColdFusion 7 came out, I discovered that Lucee CFML Server is very easy to understand someone else's code. It is simple and streamlined, and it is fortunate that you can quickly manipulate a program into whatever you need to do without adding so many actual layers of code.

Cons

"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."
"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."
"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."
"AMD Vivado Design Suite can be improved in some of its components."
"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."
"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."
"Lucee CFML Server can be improved by staying up to date."
