It is very useful in tracing the hierarchy RTL design, easy to load signals and user friendly interface to observe waveforms. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It quite often crashes and is slow when simulation times are high. Some nets cannot be added in the waveforms Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing actually dislike from simvision.
It is very good one. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
There are so many tools that can make debugging so easy and everyday tasks quite faster Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
In some cases needing to recompile the whole design to rerun the simulation Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I used Waveform and Source Browser the most and they are very easy to handle. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Sometimes it can crash unexpectedly when trying to rerun. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Easy to debug when .simv is avaialble in our run directory Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Need to generate .simv, if it is not available in the run directory Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It is fast and cheaper than other debug tools. I mostly work on VCS though but used to use Simvision. Tracing capabilities are also good. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
UI could be better. Hierarchial window's font is hard to read as well as the waveform viewer's font. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The schematic tracer and the source browser are very user friendly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The GUI response while tracing is kind of slow and annoying at times. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
