Whether you are a IC logic design engineer or an IC packaging and Signal Integrity engineer you most certainly have faced the number one issue haunting the industry..."what God dam tool shall I use?" For there are so many tools vendors with tools each one of them claims to be "the tool of choice". Whether you work for Cisco, Juniper, Intel, AMD, TI, IBM you most certainly have had extensive interactions with Mentor Graphics, Candence, Synopsys, SiSoft, Dolphin, Sigrity, etc.
All these vendors offer an excellent lineup of tools - each tool tend to compliment each other. So long as they are compliant with Industry standards as outlined by GEIA, IBIS, NIST, or IEEE. However, this is not always the case. Some EDA vendors are pretty good with interoperability between tools from different vendors - but others well lets say they are like thorns in the IC and PCB design industry.
