Finally... a modern streamlined PLM
What do you like best about the product?
Having come from a traditional aerospace prime which used archaic PLM software, Duro has been an answer to a prayer. It provides an intuitive interface and features I didn't know I needed.
What do you dislike about the product?
We've had a number of issues with integrating Duro with other tools (both the out-of-the-box integrations as well as our custom integrations using the change order webhooks). Fortunately, the team have been responsive and helpful.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Building and tracking the design of an orbital launch vehicle. We use Duro to track our designs, manage the configuration and monitor our budgets (mass, cost, etc.).
Duro Software a life saver for BOM control
What do you like best about the product?
The API connections to Digikey and other electronics sites are super helpful when sourcing products is difficult. During the pandemic, many items had long lead times but having a real-time view to the sourcing information allowed us to make decisions that allowed us to make on-time deliveries to our customers.
What do you dislike about the product?
Looking forward to fixing the McMaster-Carr API connection soon.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
BOM generation, product numbering, inventory control using unique part numbers and revision control.
Flexible PLM Tool with Great Upfront Support and Easy Onboarding
What do you like best about the product?
The flexibility of the tool and its integration with OnShape and (coming soon) Altium are very nice. In the onboarding process, it seems all our needs are covered.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are no dislikes so far, just some things that will take some getting used to. I supposed this applies to any new tool that you have to spend time learning, however!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Prior to Duro, we didn't have a good system for cross-referencing parts across different products, which Duro makes easy. I'm also looking forward to their revision control features, which are extensive.
Still a newb user, but from what I've seen thus far a vast improvement of other cloud PLMs
What do you like best about the product?
I've been a user of Arena for 10+ years and have also been a recent Aras user. When first introduced to Arena, it was a refreshing take over legacy PLM systems, but it seems Duro has really innovated in this space. The slick integrations with Altium and OnShape and the ability for bidirectional data flow result in huge time savings. I suspect other PLM solutions will be copying these features in the near future (if they haven't already). The UI is pretty intuitive and the search function is a vast improvement over Arena and Aras.
What do you dislike about the product?
Given the rich data that gets pulled in with COTS electronics components, loading the master parts list during the initial setup can be precarious, but the onboarding team does do everything in their power to guide you through the process to ensure success.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our current PLM system is a Dropbox directory tree and Excel spreadsheets. Version control is a mess. We're looking to Duro to solve this. We're still early on in our onboarding process, but I have no doubt these issues will be addressed when we go live.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Play around with the 14 day trial.
Promising Potential
What do you like best about the product?
Duro fully embraces the user-friendly, "cloud-first" model of modern services. Using the Duro platform is as easy as checking email, dramatically reducing the "groan factor" that typically comes with other PLM systems.
What do you dislike about the product?
Duro currently has a small feature set. It has integrations, but they only cover the minimal use cases; many edge cases are unhandled. Users can set sourcing options for components, but modeling different sourcing scenarios is still difficult/impossible to do in practice. There are also small UI/UX bugs and gotchas throughout the platform. While Duro seems to have started with the right mental model for how PLM should work, it needs more time to grow and mature.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Duro is helping us save time coordinating communications between engineering, sourcing, and manufacturing, and helps ensure that we have a single source of truth.
Duro review
What do you like best about the product?
I like how Duro has specific part numbers depending on the type of component that is added to the system. It makes it very easy to sort through and find components based on the part number. I also like how
What do you dislike about the product?
When moving components to Production and having the components and documents be revision controlled, so far the method we have been using to rev up documents is to delete those documents, re-upload them, and input the new revision manually. It would be nice to have some kind of automatic revision system where if a document is uploaded under the same title, it will automatically be revved up and the previous revision would still be kept in the system in order to track the previous revisions.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Duro has been a great tool we use to manage our Bill of Materials. What I find most helpful when using Duro is being able to include the manufacturing part number, distributor part number, and links on where to source these parts from. Duro makes it very easy to export our BOM to our contract manufacturer to order parts because they can pull up the spreadsheet Duro exports and easily follow links to purchase those items.
One stop PLM solution
What do you like best about the product?
The best part about Duro, apart from the user-friendly UI, would be the ease of integration with other software and the BOM generation with one-click complete data export. We have integrated Duro with Onshape and Solidworks, and This helps to assign unique part numbers directly from the integrated software. Also, properties like material, McMaster PN, Cost, etc.. are now reflected in Duro from the integrated software, making it very easily accessible.
What do you dislike about the product?
Somtimes the drawings for particular parts are not automatically generated in Duro and need to be added manually.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
PN duplication is wholly eliminated with the help of Duro. Data sharing with vendors is also a piece of cake now. Release management is also very user-friendly.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
No significant issues using it.
Amazing tool. I have more time to design and less work to manage documentation and production files.
What do you like best about the product?
The description (i.e., the data structure) of the component/sub-assemblies.
What do you dislike about the product?
It would be great if thumbnails could be viewed in full screen.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
More time to design. Less erros due obsolete files. Shared product libray (place where the info is updated).
Recommendations to others considering the product:
You need to understand how the software works before you start using it. Don't try to learn everything along the way. Make sure that before using, you have a general understanding of how the software works, and how it can work for you.
User friendly and easy to use PLM software
What do you like best about the product?
The fact that I can keep all the documentation of the hardware in one place and manage the different stages of the hardware
What do you dislike about the product?
Still has a few things to improve, namely regarding the ECO management
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Managing documentation and hardware products lifecycle
Duro is perfect for a scaling startup
What do you like best about the product?
Duro is very fast, very easy to use. A good thing about it is that it doesn't force you to use all features at once and so as you scale your operations, you can start using more features. It doesn't get in the way.
What do you dislike about the product?
Navigation on the website could be improved, sometimes it's not clear where you can find some things.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We're using Duro to track and manage our component database. The approvals for Engineering/Manufacturing change orders are very useful and force us to have good processes. Duro also allows us to check what version of each component were being used at a certain time and this has helped very much in the past.
