No reasonably priced autorouter is going to do the whole job of routing a
board in a manner that will satisfy anyone with any kind of standards.

At a minimum, you should usually route your power/ground traces and any
critical circuits by hand before letting the autorouter at your design.

Oh, and save your design under another name before you start playing with
autorouting so that you at least have a fallback position when it screws you
up big time.

Picky people don't pick autorouters.
