By far the most bang for your buck PLM on the market!
What do you like best about the product?
Duro is intuitive and easy to use. We were able to get up and running within just a few days. Duro makes managing our product so easy allowing our engineers to focus on what they do best.
What do you dislike about the product?
I am yet to find something that I am unsatisfied with. For the price, you cannot find a better PLM.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have been able to quickly transition from a spreadsheet to a full-featured PLM within days. Sometimes this can take weeks or even months. A startup of our size is usually stuck on spreadsheets for much longer, but the price point of Duro makes the transition much more achievable at a much earlier stage.
Great product for managing engineering source of truth across a dispersed engineering team
What do you like best about the product?
Web based, everything has unique IDs....
What do you dislike about the product?
I would love to see a folder structure...
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Duro has enabled our team to track BOMs, Products, and parts more effectively, and ensure that we are always using the correct source for materials sent to production
Recommendations to others considering the product:
The Duro team is amazing to work with, and is always available to answer questions, and is receptive to feedback
Works well and looks great
What do you like best about the product?
The format and user-friendliness is my favorite part of this application
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish it had the capability to account for inventory on hand
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are using Duro to organize our BOMs and drawings
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Definitely request a demo
Simple and Useful Interface
What do you like best about the product?
Simple Interface, modern look and easy to use. I like the ability to add pictures to items and add multiple sources to those items. If a manufacturer part number is recognized by Duro it will auto populates the sourcing fields for you which is a huge time saver for entering component info.
What do you dislike about the product?
Limits to data being entered into system, (no duplicate descriptions) , No way to reject an ECO and make changes that were discovered during the review (New ECO needs created). Some learning curve needed to understand workflows (not intuitive enough)
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Keeps us more organized than our google sheet method and has a built in process to make changes to parts in the database. We seem to have less error when communicating to our CM's which gets us to market quicker.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are starting out and need a solution to dictate your product structure this is the tool to use. If you already have existing product structure, part numbers and rev scheme it becomes more difficult. However, support has been very helpful in navigating our specific issues and still able to provide a solution for our specific company
Duro is a great cloud PDM tool
What do you like best about the product?
My favorite Duro feature is the automated supply chain insight.
What do you dislike about the product?
My only complaint is how frequently I have to login. It would be nice to have sessions persist for a longer period of time.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Duro has helped us solve the flow of information between our design and production teams. It allows our engineers to put detailed designs in a place where our product managers can directly handle sourcing and BOM costs.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Duro shines when used with a plugin in your engineering CAD environment.
Practicale software that is still evolving
What do you like best about the product?
Straightforward and self explanatory, design is nice.
What do you dislike about the product?
Very manual search and inputs, runs slow on times.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Duro allows us to have control over manufacturing data transfer and up-keep to our logistics chain, vendors and overseas team.
An Electrical Engineers Perspective On Using Duro
What do you like best about the product?
1) Bill of material management. It is a great system to use as a vault of truth for bill of materials/builds. It proves itself exceptionally useful for cross collaboration between teams (specifically small teams) for quoting and reviewing designs.
2) Status flags. Having status/error flags to indicate incomplete quotes has been very helpful for tracking down items in our BOM that we are either missing quotes or have not yet been updated.
3) Auto generating new CPNs for parts/components. We have many custom parts and off the shelf parts in our build. I was expecting most part generation to be entirely manual. However, the Duro database search feature for adding new parts (From Digikey or McMaster) automatically is probably one of my favorite features. Once I started using this feature I was able to be more diligent on keeping the database updated.

What do you dislike about the product?
1) It is another database of sorts that needs to be managed. Our team goes through periods where it is very accurate and periods where it falls behind. Unless you have someone dedicated to keeping it updated it will just be another "item" that needs to be managed. This can feel like a chore at times, but ultimately I think it's a necessary step for any growing company doing product development.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Duro was incredibly helpful to get our team organized BOMs that focus on product/part hierarchy. This made reviewing existing designs and searching for high cost items very very easy. I was able to save our company about $50k, by re-designing parts and finding alternative suppliers, within the first month of using Duro.
need a few improvements but a good platform
What do you like best about the product?
The depth of details we can add for the parts and vendor selection
What do you dislike about the product?
The export feature is good but it would be great to have some ability to decide which columns need to be exported
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Use duro mainly for creating BOMs and having it for revision control and for Inventory control
Recommendations to others considering the product:
evaluate a trial only when you are open for a change
Great
What do you like best about the product?
Very easy to use, comfortable UX and UI.
What do you dislike about the product?
No dislikes and it's very informative. Very clear and straight to the point, which is super helpful when you're in a time crunch.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Visibility and easy navigation. Provides clear answers in very little clicks. Very beneficial.
What Small companies need for PLM
What do you like best about the product?
The duro platform is light weight and feature rich enough without overwhelming or bogging down the process. We have used it for our R&D engineering team and it satisfy the chasm of absolute nothing and very heavy and unweidly PLM/PDM systems meant for large enterprises.
We find the solidworks integration and webapp workflow both do wonders to speed up our processes and provide the necessary structure.

What do you dislike about the product?
At this moment I cannot think of anything.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Duro helps our engineering team provide the necessary structure for lifecycle management. Being a startup means there are often new discoveries and pivots and the traditional philosophy of letting engineers manage their own work product becomes inefficient as we scaled. Duro gave us a single repository, naming schema and workflows to ensure we don't redevelop, lose or send the wrong part out for quote.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are a small engineering firm and you have no PLM solution. Use Duro or similar now, the switching cost and headaches as the organziation get bigger are never worth it.
