Easy QMS for nearly all aspects of business
What do you like best about the product?
Arena is an incredibly useful tool to keep not only released protocols, reports, and documents, but also traceable drafts and design history files for each of these elements. The numbering and naming system is also very easy to use and intuitive. Arena is an easy system to keep all of the essential business files in one place.
What do you dislike about the product?
One challenging aspect of Arena is that there are so many options in the drop down menu, between Items, Training, etc. - that it's easy to get lost in where you are. I've spent a lot of time searching for a training module, only to find that I was in the wrong menu, and vice versa. The search feature also doesn't capture what I'm looking for and I need to enter the exact item number to find my document.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Arena helps my evolving business expand as we increase in scope, from feasibility and development to validation under regulatory guidance.

What do you dislike about the product?
Can become a more complete system by integrating availability & Lifecycle informaiton of BOM parts, Support for Requirement management and traceabilty, Itegration with ECAD/MCAD tools to manage BOMs & changes without manual entry would help. Though some integration is availble, it comes at high cost and is not much controllable.
Also work flow & inventory management can be added to work as a complete ERP system

We are managing our QMS trainings, QMS templates and file versions in Arena for the medical projects. Arena helps us with maintaining these items in a structured format and managing approvals for these files. We are also managing the electronics BOM in this tool

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I guess it does give us a place to store a bunch of into... that is neato.
But unfortunatly it comes with a very poor interface, terrible search/sort/filtering tools, so finding, using, comparing the data in the system, is orders of magnitude more difficult that it could/should be. (AKA get ready to do everythign in Excel, that Arena should do natively).
