Overall Good System
What do you like best about the product?
The system has a lot of versatility and applications that are already built into Arena, so you don't have to start from scratch on every single process. The Arena staff are also very helpful with any questions.
What do you dislike about the product?
It is a lot of information to digest at one time, and it is not always intuitive where things are stored or how to access them. It's also not intuitive how the processes or templates work.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have some internal quality processes that we want to move to Arena templates for record-keeping and better organization intra-department and inter-department.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Provide tutorials for processes already available through Arena
Excellent system. Easy to use and very versatile.
What do you like best about the product?
Ease of use, and how approvals are set up within the system. I also like the cloud-based setup which allows me to easily work from home, whereas our homegrown system requires me to be at work or use a VPN.
What do you dislike about the product?
A bit of a learning curve, better help and or resources within the page would be great. We also had some issues with integration tools for XPLM and Solidworks that need some help.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Were able to better control our documents and revisions, easily set up approvers and automate most of the documentation practices. Our ability to release products and supporting documentation is much faster.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you need a system to manage your business needs for quality control, this system is by far one of the best.
Very manual process.
What do you like best about the product?
it's reliable. Service is never down. Nothing else really.

Very manual. Software should auto-create a Placeholder, and auto-create Change Orders when a new PT or DD is created.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Electronic signatures/approvals
Friendly user platform but...

The user interface is the most attractive thing about Arena. The diagram flow is also very helpful, and reviewing the elements is simple, making it easier for me to explain things to my colleagues.
What do you dislike about the product?
having a desktop app would make the experience even smoother.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Until now I used to review all parts, documents, files, and engineering change orders. I'm the new guy in the company so Arena help me a lot to understand the product we manage

Efficient software for your product release needs

The ability to effectively create parts, BOMs and link everything to suppliers without repetition. You can upload drawings too which helps suppliers to be aware of a part without asking for further assistance.

Sometimes the menus can be clunky and it does take a while to learn your way around the platform. This does get easier with time but it is a bit of a learning curve.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our organisation has become a lot more streamlined thanks to Arena's platform. Multiple departments are able to benefit from the information gathered on there and can quickly get the information they require.
The pros and cons of using Arena PLM
What do you like best about the product?
You can customize the fields to your needs and implement custom settings providing an experience that is suitable for your needs.

The query response/screen transition time is measured in seconds.
When you need to toggle between many screens or perform complex operations it is a bit slow.

Real time product designing and deliveries which reduced the defects #LEAN
Needs Improvement but good baselines, especially for smaller companies
What do you like best about the product?
Our Product Manager. She provides the support we need in a timely fashion and is always willing to jump on a call and screen share, etc.
What do you dislike about the product?
Metrics. We have metrics, usual metrics tracked in a QMS but it is extremely difficult to set these up and the support team appears confused as well. There are no metrics already populated such as on time training, etc.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use this as a repository for our QMS. The training module is helpful and document retrieval is easy but you need to know what you are doing to process documents.
