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.

Digital workflows have replaced paper on the shop floor and speed up regulated manufacturing
Definitely, AI in a regulated industry is something that is a concern of the clients. However, Tulip can stick to 21 CFR Part 11 strictly when it comes to Tulip's AI capabilities. Tulip has already started to look forward to compliance-related things. For example, Tulip's AI widget offers data reading throughout the site. It does not allow any AI to interact with external systems when we apply firewalls on it. In this regard, if Tulip continues in that way, they can definitely stick to the governance and security. As of now, I didn't face any issue related to their AI capabilities. It is working fine but not accurate, which is a red flag in a GXP regulated system. This is my feedback on their AI capabilities. This has been introduced into the latest LTS version and needs more hands-on experience. Before that, I cannot give a direct justification or feedback on their AI capabilities being reliable and accurate. However, at the extent that I have used them, they are accurate and reliable as of now. Tulip is an emerging platform and being a cloud-native MES, it has a lot to improve. According to me, traditional MES like FactoryTalk PharmaSuite has more complex features and user-oriented use cases and complexities that the application itself handles. However, when it comes to Tulip, all the things that matter are in the hands of a developer. That is something that Tulip can improve on. Tulip can switch to a traditional way of delivering in the pharmaceutical industry while keeping the cloud-native impact intact. One improvement that I can give an example of is that Tulip has application templates. Instead of templates, they can offer concrete applications to their pharmaceutical or any specific industrial client for their specific needs, such as a recipe designer and production management for a pharmaceutical client. Then production or material tracking or BOM tracking for a discrete client. In that way, I can see an improvement where Tulip can perform well.

Pros

"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."
"The best features of AMD Vivado Design Suite is that it is a mature tool with a very good GUI."
"If people are working on FPGA design, AMD Vivado Design Suite is the one go-to tool that I would recommend for everyone."
"Using AMD Vivado Design Suite has helped me personally be more productive and improve the quality of my work."
"AMD Vivado Design Suite has positively impacted my organization because it helped very well by having everything in one tool."
"Since using Tulip, my organization has positively transitioned from a lot of manual documentation for GMP compliance to digital, significantly reducing paperwork and now maintaining data retention within Tulip instead of manually."
"Implementing Tulip has positively impacted our organization as we have transitioned from paper MBR and EBR to Tulip's online MBR, significantly reducing the time operators spent manually documenting activities, which also made audit trials easier to manage."
"Tulip is really about empowering people to build applications, and those people who build the applications are not necessarily only technical experts or developers."
"This flexibility and ability to adjust things have led to measurable improvements in our projects, particularly in terms of time saved and user satisfaction."
"Tulip has changed my life, as I started using it just for making some inventory, and now I'm moving forward to digitalize 100% of the facility."
"The best features Tulip offers are the low or no code features that enable users with no programming background to work on and build applications."
"The best features Tulip offers include the fact that it is fairly easy to set up and allows you to connect things."
"We have achieved significant profit in our organization, building around one hundred apps in the last three years using Tulip that are all in production and running successfully, with huge accolades and appreciations from clients."
 

Cons

"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."
"AMD Vivado Design Suite could be improved regarding speed; sometimes it will take so much time to show the schematics and performance analyzing tool."
"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."
"I consider AMD Vivado Design Suite a very large and complex tool, yet it can be slower than other integration tools."
"AMD Vivado Design Suite can be improved in some of its components."
"Regarding Tulip's AI capabilities, I perceive that it is not yet mature and is still in the testing phase, with several features rolled out for end users."
"Regarding the needed improvements for Tulip, regarding integration that you mentioned, because you have a bunch of features of third-party connections, it is not enough."
"Tulip can improve by providing additional features developers can use in the application."
"One way Tulip can be improved is that the biggest challenge is if you already know programming. Tulip is extremely hard to set up because it doesn't follow standard programming rules."
"Tulip can be improved to have a lower entry point."
"Tulip can improve with better or closer support in developing the applications, especially when we as a pharmaceutical company would have our specific requirements and needs that are mandatory for our industry."
"One area Tulip can be improved is addressing the issue that arises when multiple users use the same data tables for Tulip applications."
"I believe it is still at the beginning and not really advanced for the part I was using, so it could be improved."
