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.

Familiar platform has supported reliable on-premise file sharing and directory services
I am not currently using virtual machines, but I intend to switch over from VMware, and if I do, I may use the Shielded Virtual Machines feature. I am not using the Nano Server product, so I cannot comment on its impact on reducing server footprint in my organization. I am not working with Windows Containers for managing application deployment. I do not know about the integration capability of Windows Server 2016 (Windows Server 2016) | Support by SupportedImages with Microsoft Azure, as I do not use the cloud. I would give Windows Server 2016 (Windows Server 2016) | Support by SupportedImages a rating of eight on a scale from zero to ten.
