Excellent collaborative tool for BOM management and document control
What do you like best about the product?
Cloud based tool enables easy collaboration. BOM management is intuitive and feature rich. Document control keeps up within a fast moving company and enables traceable review, etc.
What do you dislike about the product?
1) UX interface could be simplified (oftentimes there are multiple buttons that accomplish the same task).
2) Customer enabled BOM customization would enable richer use of this feature for cost analysis. My company's product category is not well supported by standard BOM functionality in ARENA.
2) Customer enabled BOM customization would enable richer use of this feature for cost analysis. My company's product category is not well supported by standard BOM functionality in ARENA.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
BOM management and document control are the two areas my company addresses with ARENA. ARENA PLM makes it simple for all Team Members to trace document/BOM history and understand current level of review as well as maintain contact information and quotation information from key suppliers.
Review of Arena after a year of use.

Arena is very clear and easy to use. All of the modules are very easy to understand and the software makes life easier for you when it comes to management. Managing Quality documents in one easy BOM makes it easy to trace
What do you dislike about the product?
It is hard to mass upload numerous files for a single part/assembly. Sometimes is slow downloading files from their servers.

Great software

It would be helpful if Arena had the capability to manage approval routings in a modular way on a case by case basis.

Arena is helping us to manage our deviations and engineering changes. It makes communication easy within the organization.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Give it a try first and make sure it's right for you.
Excellent experience with Arena
What do you like best about the product?
My company recently changed over from a manual document control system to the Arena electronic system. The ease of review, data integrity of the documents, and user friendly interface allowed our company to efficiently migrate over.
What do you dislike about the product?
It would be nice if users could actively see if multiple people are viewing the :Working" revision. This would give visibility to simultaneous editing.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our document control system was a manual nightmare. But moving over to Arena operators have visibility to where you are in the change process. We also integrated our NCR process into Arena and that has allowed for more efficient review and remediation for our nonconformances.
Easy to use platform
What do you like best about the product?
The easy to use functionality. Document searches are quite quick using keywords or phrases. It's also easy to make change requests and link to other documents. The alternative BOM feature is also nice!
What do you dislike about the product?
Searches using multiple keywords will not return a document if the keywords are reversed in the title of the document. The linking of deviations to documents and training to deviations is too complex. When there is a notification for a deviation to train on, the original document is linked to it, not the deviation. You have to hunt for the deviation.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Moving away from a paper systems makes it much easier to track changes and the decisions behind them. It's also a huge improvement having real-time signatures.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
The interface is more intuitive than SAP, which I used at a previous company.

I think Arena PLM is very flexible in terms of accessing everywhere in the world even at home during COVID time. Furthermore, it is very secure.

Arena is one of the best candidates for data retriever and history tracking.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
