Unlike traditional PLM systems, Aras Innovator is built on a resilient, low-code architecture that enables rapid customization and continuous upgrades without disruption. This ensures businesses can adapt to evolving requirements while maintaining a single source of truth for product information. With Aras Innovator, companies can manage the entire product lifecycle—from concept and design to manufacturing, service, and beyond. It supports advanced configuration management, change control, requirements engineering, and simulation management, making it ideal for industries with highly complex products, such as aerospace, defense, automotive, and industrial manufacturing. A key differentiator of Aras Innovator is its support for the Digital Thread, connecting critical data across disciplines and throughout the lifecycle. This connectivity enhances traceability, collaboration, and decision-making, ensuring teams can access up-to-date, accurate information in real time. Unlike legacy PLM solutions with rigid licensing models, Aras Innovator uses an enterprise subscription model with unlimited user access, enabling seamless collaboration across global teams. Organizations benefit from continuous innovation, regular updates, and expert support without the risk of version lock-in. Available in both cloud and on-premises deployments, Aras Innovator empowers organizations to transform product development, improve efficiency, and drive innovation.

Configurable upon the company needs with configuration, but specifics with code (C#) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Aras Innovator? Innovator should stay up-to-date with the market quality requirements of their standard offering of modules. They should not only offer good software, but also ensure that the basics are up to the minimum expectation (e.g. FMEA module) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 4/15/2026 "Evolving Tool with Impactful Features" 5/5 What do you like best about Aras Innovator? I find the Impact Matrix in Aras Innovator really helpful because it shows me all the places where parts and documents are used, which is huge for managing changes for ECOs. I also appreciate the evolving and growing mindset of the company behind Aras Innovator. The software feels fresh and not stale, which is exciting. I value the Part Search feature, especially with the use of boolean search terms, because it makes it easy to find large groups of parts using wildcards or pipes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Aras Innovator? I would like to see a form of the impact matrix for MCOs. Also, we used to use more reports in Aras Innovator, but that was disabled. Dashboards are not strong enough to pull or show all the data we need. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Aras Innovator solving and how is that benefiting you? Aras Innovator's Impact Matrix helps me see where parts and documents are used, solving the problem of understanding the impact of changes for ECOs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The best thing I like about Aras Innovator is its flexibility and openness. It offers possibilities to cover all the different business challenges and problems we encounter. There's always a way to solve any kind of business problems. It's a very powerful platform that can be the backbone for our enterprise. Also, the initial setup of Aras Innovator was super easy, definitely a 10 out of 10. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Aras Innovator? I believe the configuration possibilities to create a new user interface inside Aras could be improved, especially the tables and forms. How it's been designed currently might not be as purpose-centric as it could be. Enhancing the last mile precision could definitely help for better user adoption. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Aras Innovator solving and how is that benefiting you? Aras Innovator solves issues with silos and revision challenges, providing a single source of truth for stakeholders. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 4/14/2026 "Robust Out-of-the-Box PLM with Flexible Customization" 5/5 What do you like best about Aras Innovator? Aras Innovator provides a robust Out of the Box PLM experience while allowing for customization when needed. This always us to develop new tools when needed or fall back on the standard functionality as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Aras Innovator? Customer support, at times, can take a long time to resolve a problem. We typical file support tickets through an Aras partner and they handle most issues but when the issue is serious it is escalated to Aras. This response time can be difficult to tolerate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Aras Innovator solving and how is that benefiting you? Aras functions as the primary hub for creating, tracking and storing engineering data. Aras allows us to produce and track parts, BOM's and jobs and control and track revisioning. CAD is also stored directly to Aras and acts as our main repository which boosts efficiency, increases accuracy and aids collaboration. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 4/15/2026 "Highly Customizable Solution with Room for Improvement" 4/5 What do you like best about Aras Innovator? I like the customizability of Aras Innovator and the vast amount of features it offers. I find managing forms and workflows easy, and I appreciate how it allows me to relate items. There are many new features available that I haven't used yet but are there for future exploration, like project management. I also find it easy to add new data points for evolving processes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Aras Innovator? Management of the data can be difficult. Primarily need the batch loader. And accessing data from multiple items at once can be difficult when continuously toggling between screens. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Aras Innovator solving and how is that benefiting you? Aras Innovator provides a single source of truth, centralizes information, and standardizes practices. Its customizability and features ease managing forms, workflows, and adding new data points for evolving processes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 4/14/2026 "Straightforward, Flexible UI—But Support and CAD Performance Can Lag" 3.5/5 What do you like best about Aras Innovator? The overall user interface is very straightforward and the software is very flexible in terms of modification to suit very specific customer needs. It is also open to integrating with many other software packages. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Aras Innovator? The customer support (through Aras not our partner Razorleaf) seems to take a very long time to respond and close tickets, some of the performance (especially with CAD data) seems very slow Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Aras Innovator solving and how is that benefiting you? Areas is currently allowing us to have a single repository for part meta data. Areas handles the unique sequential number generation along with BOM structure. We have recently started using Aras for revision tracking and are working on getting it to be our single repository for CAD data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 4/15/2026 "Open, Flexible Low-Code Platform That’s Easy to Learn and Integrate" 4/5 What do you like best about Aras Innovator? The openness of the platform makes it extremely user friendly to learn and program. The low code no code dev behind the scenes allows non-developers to support development to some degree which is beneficial for smaller companies who lack the IT power that larger groups have. The flexibility allows us to integrate freely to as many platforms as we wish, without fear of added costs or difficulties connecting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Aras Innovator? The UI for the Change Management is a bit dated and could use some updating. The sign-offs window for example are a common gripe for our users, as is the convoluted impacted matrix. The rest of the UI is quite simple to understand and interact with but these screens feel dated. At this time they are not customizable like the rest of the product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Aras Innovator solving and how is that benefiting you? Unifying our data, and supporting change management and revision control. All of our product data and related documents now live in one, connected system with appropriate rev control and approvals in place. It supports clean, easy access to several groups across the organization and reduces risk of sharing the wrong information. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 4/15/2026 "Great No-Code Flexibility and Support, but Innovator’s UI and tutorials need updates" 3.5/5 What do you like best about Aras Innovator? I love the amount of no code configuration that Aras allows. I felt very naturally drawn in to learning the skills needed to become a full-on developer. I also appreciate the customer support and the variety of employees who have supported our various technical and implementation needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Aras Innovator? Some issues we've faced with Innovator is the default intuitiveness of the platform. I can see that it will improve as we update beyond 27, but there are lots of functions that I have to consistently remind users how to reach. There are also functions that I would expect to have out of the box (like downloading multiple files) that are not available. Sometimes the tutorials available are too old and don't work with SaaS or newer versions. s Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Aras Innovator solving and how is that benefiting you? Aras is providing digital organization, automation and accountability to our change management process. We are now able to evaluate, debate, and approve ECOs without an in person meeting. This shifts the responsibility of reviewing to an individual task rather than a synchronized presentation which drastically improves efficiency. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love the way we were able to transition from our legacy CM software to the more equipped PLM ARAS tool. We also like how ARAS is continually improving the product. It is also easy to use once you get the hang of it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Aras Innovator? We are an on-prem customer who really wants the additional features of the SAAS capabilities however, ARAS is still not FedRAMP certified. With us being government we are not able to use any of the SAAS that are not FedRAMP certified. GovCloud is closer to where we need it but still waiting on the Fedramp cert... :) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Aras Innovator solving and how is that benefiting you?
