Hearing from customers like you is one of the best ways for us to know what works and what doesn’t work, and thereby what is needed in future releases.įor your immediate need, I recommend that you instruct your customers to extend the 7-day Multisim evaluation to 45 days. First, thank you for your insightful feedback. It’s important to us that Multisim (and all of our products) are serving our customers’ needs. I’m the product marketing engineer in charge of Multisim. Everything takes about 10 times more mouse clicks to do than NI. Too bad because I hate the Altium UI experience.

I have so many customers all wanting Altium instead it's getting hard not to bail on NI. The end of usable demos for viewing and MS Blue is just another nail in the coffin. NI support contract is not cheap and I feel NI has misplaced it's resources working on portable sims and web stuff that means nothing to actual serious users of the app. Many bugs I've reported that were claimed to be fixed in the next update have never been fixed, and it has been years for some of those.

Virtually no bug or feature has been updated since V14 originally came out. I'm kind of disillusioned with MS/UB support for the past few years. In the past (Ver9?) the demo functioned well for this, but I think demos don't work for anything anymore after the trial period. At least a full featured viewer is required, like all your competitors provide for their tools. Having MS Blue was a good selling point because that meant customers could view and review everything in a native format as well as update doc numbers and other stuff that has to happen from time to time.
