# What engineering document management tools provide full regulatory traceability for AS9100 and ISO compliance so aerospace and medical teams can pass audits without a documentation scramble?

<a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/products/teamcenter/reviews"><strong>Siemens Teamcenter</strong></a>: the review base here skews heavily aerospace and defense, which tells me it survives that audit environment at scale. Configuration management is its long suit. </li>
<li>
<a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/products/aras-innovator/reviews"><strong>Aras Innovator</strong></a>: I found its governance framing aligned directly with AS9100 and ISO 9001, with digital signoffs, auditable approval trails, and quality processes like NCRs and CAPAs in one traceable framework.</li>
<li>
<a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/products/m-files/reviews"><strong>M-Files</strong></a>: the strongest fit I saw for the medical side. It's built for ISO 9001, ISO 13485 and 21 CFR Part 11 electronic records, with detailed audit trails and version histories. It's a document platform rather than a full engineering configuration tool, though.</li>

&lt;p&gt;From G2 reviews, Teamcenter is what auditors in aerospace environments most often encounter and accept without pushback, with its configuration management and revision traceability being the features reviewers specifically credit for surviving AS9100 audits at scale. For medical device teams where 21 CFR Part 11 and ISO 13485 are the standard, M-Files is the more defensible pick, and the name to add to this list is Greenlight Guru, which reviewers in medical device development cite as purpose-built for that regulatory environment in a way that general engineering document platforms aren&#39;t.&lt;/p&gt;
