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.

Regarding how RedHat 9 with support by ProComputers could be improved, I believe there are some points that could be enhanced, such as reducing the complexity and cost of licensing. The subscription model and socket counting can be complex and have a high cost for expanding smaller development environments. The learning curve could also be simplified: although security is impeccable, solving SELinux troubleshooting issues in advanced scenarios requires a considerable amount of diagnostic time for those who are just starting out. Documentation and the unified migration interface could be improved as well. The process of transitioning between major versions, such as from RedHat 8 to 9, has evolved a lot with Leapp, but it could still have tools such as simpler visual wizards and less dependency on manual scripts and customized scenarios. For me, the main improvement points in RedHat 9 with support by ProComputers are mainly the cost of the subscription model, which can be high when scaling new environments, and the complexity of configuring SELinux, which requires more time for the team to analyze errors when advanced blocks occur. I believe that RedHat 9 with support by ProComputers, to be a 10, would need to address what I mentioned in the previous answer. That would be broader documentation in the sense of providing tools with more visual and simple assistance, with less dependence on scripts, and reducing cost complexity. Some subscription and socket counting models can have a high cost for expansions of smaller development environments. I believe I have mentioned all the improvement suggestions I think are viable.

"The integrated logic analyzer, ILA, has been the biggest game-changer for my workflow."
"AMD Vivado Design Suite has positively impacted my organization because it helped very well by having everything in one tool."
"If people are working on FPGA design, AMD Vivado Design Suite is the one go-to tool that I would recommend for everyone."
"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."
"What I appreciated most about my use case or the project is having the complete FPGA development workflow with AMD Vivado Design Suite."
"I really appreciate the IP Integrator in AMD Vivado Design Suite, but the real benefit is the integration with AMD Xilinx FPGAs."
"I appreciate the accuracy and reliability of the output from the AI capabilities of RedHat 9 with support by ProComputers because it was my first experience with EA of ProComputers, and I enjoy it a lot."
"This productivity gain shows up in the team's daily work in the ready-made images and in the automation with Terraform and Pulumi."
"Kubernetes and OpenShift are features of RedHat 9 with support by ProComputers that help with modern architecture, improve scalability, and simplify the DevOps process."
"For example, I can apply a build in production, within our working language, and know that I can reproduce it in any scenario within RedHat."
"RedHat 9 with support by ProComputers has a positive impact on our organization regarding ROI itself, as even though RedHat solutions are not cheap, scalability, availability, and long-term support have evolved and shown that the operational cost with integrated support is very viable, resulting in an operational return with availability of more than 99.9%, which is very impactful for the company as a whole."
"RedHat 9 with support by ProComputers is the best, most stable, and free operating system that we have on the market right now."
"Security tools such as SELinux and OpenSCAP help identify vulnerabilities and maintain environment compliance, which reduces manual work, minimizes the risk of failures, and improves the availability of corporate services."
"RedHat 9 with support by ProComputers has positively impacted our organization, as it makes the work more fluid because all the Red Hat services work much better on their OS and make administration easier."
 

Cons

"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."
"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."
"I consider AMD Vivado Design Suite a very large and complex tool, yet it can be slower than other integration tools."
"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 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."
"I have not been making effective use of AI. I still intend to reach that level, but I believe it must be secure."
"I believe RedHat 9 with support by ProComputers could be improved mainly in ease of management."
"It would be very presumptuous of me to speak badly of a product that is clearly being improved, but of course, more agility, a lower SLA response time, and a more user-friendly interface for the client are always better."
"To improve RedHat 9 with support by ProComputers, one suggestion is to address complexities in updating security patches in critical or isolated environments lacking connectivity with the remote repository or the internet, as this complicates some updates and necessary checks."
"I believe that one of the main points for improving the environment with RedHat 9 with support by ProComputers is increased access and training, as even though there is well-structured documentation on RedHat’s website, access for new professionals to Linux platforms and all the products RedHat provides remains very restricted, limiting it to people with extensive experience with Linux systems and RedHat itself."
"A negative point, often, when speaking of Brazil, is that the support seems a bit distant from our reality."
"I think RedHat 9 with support by ProComputers could be improved by integrating it through AI."
"Regarding how RedHat 9 with support by ProComputers could be improved, I believe there are some points that could be enhanced, such as reducing the complexity and cost of licensing."
