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.

Structured FHIR workflows have enabled me to focus on interoperability and business logic
In terms of improvements for Smile Digital Health, there was not anything major that stood out as broken or missing for my use case or the company's needs. Most of what we required was handled well. If I had to nitpick, I would say sometimes the learning curve and visibility into what is happening under the hood could be tricky, especially when debugging across multiple systems. A bit more straightforward observability or clearer error messaging would have made troubleshooting faster. However, I did not find anything that prevented us from accomplishing our tasks, and I was very satisfied.If I had to add something about needed improvements, it would relate to documentation. The platform itself is solid, but when working across multiple systems, it was not always obvious where an issue originated—whether it was from our Java services, an external system, or how Smile Digital Health interpreted a FHIR resource. Clearer guided troubleshooting or examples in the documentation could have helped with those edge cases. However, integration-wise, it worked fine for what we needed; during tricky moments, I sometimes had to dig deeper to understand where and what went wrong.
