Very Good PLM Tool

While using Arena as PLM sometimes change management doesn't allow for further changes as those will be locked. Multiple file upload is not possible during change management as only one file can be uploaded once
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Engineering Change management
We are effectively using Arena as change management tool for design and operations.It helps in better co-ordination for both functions to realize the needs of production for better delivery of products and service.
The data is even accessed by service group which helps them using the instructions such as service manuals for any repairs

Recommendations to others considering the product:
You can use this tool very effectively for Engineering change management. The design history can be maintained effectively and can be documented and stored in various file options like pdf and can be sorted out effectively as per user needs
Efficient Item Tracking
What do you like best about the product?
Being able to track item history and have traceability for changes, files, etc. has been perfect for supporting various quality projects.
A large amount of time I spend in Arena is for document change orders, and I am able to add files and approvers, submit, and receive feedback seamlessly.

What do you dislike about the product?
To my knowledge it's not possible to view two items' BOMs and see what assembly items are overlapping. This is one example where you would have to export the search results and do an analysis via Excel.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The linear progression of change orders and what steps are required to move forward.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
This seems like it should be the standard for keeping PLM/QMS records.
Perfect solution for documentation.
What do you like best about the product?
The best thing of the Arena QMS is that you have everything in just 1 system, Deviations, DCO, ECR,ECO etc, this really makes all the hardwork easier.
What do you dislike about the product?
I think the only thing support should be working is that in sporadic times the system gets a little bit slow.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Many, for any issue related to production, we fix them with Deviations or Changes on documentation, which makes everything faster.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
You wont be disappointed, is such an extreme powerful system that all the companies should have.
amazing PLM tool

Bill of material comparison and redline feature to quickly compare Bills of material
What do you dislike about the product?
inability to pull reports in some of the worlds with custom fields
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
change control, communication with vendors and ability to scale
Recommendations to others considering the product:

Change order reviewer
What do you like best about the product?
Arena is easy to use and has a fairly straightforward user interface. It is helpful that Arena has different worlds that can be leveraged for different needs (items, training, quality, projects, etc.). The dashboard feature is very helpful to see what tasks I need to complete. The scribe functionality is also extremely helpful in that it is an integrated platform that can be used for quick and efficient cross functional communication. Additionally, the ability to cross link different items types (changes, quality notifications, items, files, etc.) is helpful.
What do you dislike about the product?
Ideally Arena would be more customizable. For example, I would like items to automatically go to an Alpha revision if the In production life cycle is selected. Arena could also improve the reports functionality. There seems to be a lot data that is not accessible via the reports. Additionally, it would be helpful to have an audit trail within Arena to see what changes were made by which user and when.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are building a device that has several thousand parts. Arena PLM has helped manage all of these parts and their structure. The sourcing and supplier worlds are features that we are not heavily using currently, but will be very helpful as the company continues to grow and develop new needs. We are also using Arena to manage and implement company wide training.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Understand business needs and see if they align with the various features that Arena PLM provides.
Little complex and the customer support is useless
What do you like best about the product?
I like the simplicity of certain parts of the interface, as well the revisions seem to work very very well.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't like the time consumption to go from part to part. Would love the ability to visually see every part on a BOM.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
revisions management and having a full history of of product changes through the years.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
get as ma ny employees as possible working on it as soon as possible
Inventory coordinators favorite tool!
What do you like best about the product?
Arena best feature is the amount of data, rev, and pdf we are able to store all in one. The search features are also very helpful.
What do you dislike about the product?
Arena is unclear and not user friendly at all.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Having images and product knowledge all in one have helped us properly identify the parts. Helping eliminate mixed stock and reduce kitting and assembly errors.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Life saving!
Great PLM to use!
What do you like best about the product?
The user interface is very easy to use and the functions in the system is well organized and easy to navigate. I especially like the easy way to access the top level and lower level bill of materials for an assembly which makes my daily job activities much easier. There are many things that Arena can do which makes it a overall great system.
What do you dislike about the product?
The system sometime experience lag when expending large BOMs could see improvement on smoothness. Maybe a cosmetic suggestion is to have the user interface updated to a bit more modern look. Other than that I do not have any other complaints, everything is good in the system.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Arena makes it easy to share information with external suppliers where they can submit MCRs and access information from the system without us having to send it to them manually, saves a lot of time. The system also makes reviewing ECOs easy as it provides clear tracking or the status and would notify approves in a timely fashion.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It is easy to use
Arena Rocks
What do you like best about the product?
Arena is so easy to manage, configure, is very user friendly, support is awesome, quick and very responsive
What do you dislike about the product?
We are looking for a QMS system as an addition to our PLM, do not want Project Management, or any other features, just a simple QMS system, nothing fancy, very basic, as a storage data base solely, but the items have a correlation to put PLM system, but do not want change management in the module. Streamline the supplier access setup, one step process would be helpful. More configuration other than out of the box, custom fields specific to our product
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Supplier access is huge, great to only give them access to what you want them to see. Single point of contact for all information
