Arena PLM for small business
What do you like best about the product?
Arena has great usability. Training users and setting up permissions is very straightforward. What my users enjoy is that the interface is user friendly and uncomplicated.
What do you dislike about the product?
There’s nothing to link upload of documents automatically to the system. You can write or purchase APIs to assist, but you may not be able to achieve your desired results. Many of my users also find it difficult to distinguish between the Files and Items worlds and constantly get them confused.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Arena has helped to structure bill of materials and drawing organization and release. All changes and requests from internal groups and contract manufacturers can be executed through this program.
The benefits have been better organization and more verification for release of bill of materials and implementation of changes

Overall good

Responsive customer support. Good documentation of approval process for product releases.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not very user friendly for new users. Some permissions issues (like unable to prevent uses from editing supplier items without eco). Document management is not the best.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Revision control for our products. Much better organization of documentation and approval process.
Powerful Product Life Management (PLM) Software
What do you like best about the product?
Arena combines several disparate systems into a single software platform and makes managing PLM so much easier! Plus, reviewing and approving Engineering Change Orders is a cinch (we were using a paper-based system before).
What do you dislike about the product?
I only started using Arena a couple months ago, so I have yet to find something that I do not like.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We were using a paper-based system for our ECOs, in conjunction with a FileMaker Pro database, and storing all of our released documents on a server. In addition, different departments were storing unreleased versions of documents on other servers, so documents were difficult to find. Arena makes reviewing and approving ECOs and managing documents at all stages of product development much easier.

What do you dislike about the product?
1) Sometimes, if you don't have good internet speed, this software can be annoying to use.
2) It is not as intuitive for a newbie - various levels of intervening that take some time to understand - i.e. it is not plug and play

Onboarding at Arena
What do you like best about the product?
Platform flexibility, resources, trust in product.
What do you dislike about the product?
UI is really tired. Hard to get up and running.

QMS compliance for 13485 design holder and PLM traceability.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Easy to engage. Management is really attempting to monetize the product right now, which increases the financial barriers for acquisition. Especially as a startup.
Arena is a perfect one stop shop solution for start up to medium size medical device companies.
What do you like best about the product?
First and foremost, I love Arena’s cloud base platform, which reduces cost by eliminating hardware and extra resources. It is easy to learn, easy to use and easy on the eyes - very GUI oriented. What you see is what you get - Arena's worlds make it extremely easy for a user to go from Item to Supplier to Quality process to Training.
What do you dislike about the product?
Arena could improve on the Quality templates. It would help if we could move fields around in a template, like we would be able to in Adobe forms or Word.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Working at start-up companies taught me to be creative with my time and resources because we tend to wear many different hats as we create and shape the company's processes and standard operating procedures. Arena has given us the ability to be extremely efficient with our time and the lack of resources. The biggest benefit is the fact that wherever I go, as long as I have my surface or my smart phone, I can be 'in the office' working on ECOs, or creating new templates, following up on implementation actions, uploading files, creating items or creating BOMs... and, wherever my approvers are, if needed, they can approve on the fly as long as there is internet connection and their smart phone or laptop.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
The most cost friendly PLM/QMS solution in the market. Arena gives you more bang for the buck!!!
