Zeni & Virtuoso comparison

zeni-eda and license

Anyone has experience on both tools as I am deciding to choose ZENI to replace Virtuoso or not.

zeni tool pdk

I was talking to someone about this Zeni last year, but there were problems with the US distributor I think, and it never got to the point of obtaining an evaluation version/license.

I'd be interested in hearing your conclusions/results. I think that most of the tools that try to compete with virtuoso are too expensive compared to the limited features they have, comparing to virtuoso. It really has to be much cheaper and integrate very well with simulators, Caliber, etc before it justifies replacing virtuoso...

I have tried both of them and can say that zeni is a very coarse tool as of now and needs a lot of improvements before it can be used commercially.
If you are looking in for a cheaper tool with features much better than that of Virtuoso, try laker for that matter.

Hi, aba380:

As cmos_dude pointed out, do yourself a favor and try Laker if you are talking about Virtuoso replacement, but you are only looking for Tanner, MyCad, kind of tool, Zeni might be an option if it's indeed cheaper than Tanner.

hi i have used both tools ...even used to delevop PDK for zeni. I will say Virtuoso more stable but zeni more user freindly.
