I like being able to share a secure link to documents to Arena to upload. I like that when the document is modified, it makes a distinction between released revision of the link and working revision of the link. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It still feels very difficult to find documents - need the search to be able to search within the documents for details that may not have been captured in the summary or other tabs. That may be a tall order but it definitely will help because there is not an alignment for naming conventions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It’s easy to maintain documents with clear revision control, and approvals are straightforward to manage based on the hierarchy. It’s also easy to download the BOM for analysis. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I’m not able to copy items between the request (DRW) and change (DCO). I have to add those items manually each time, which is a tedious task. It would be great if we could copy the items from change to request, or vice versa.

Also, modifying the Bill of Materials for assembly items in the BOM tab is getting difficult. It would be much easier if we could replace items, reorder them, and edit quantities for all items within a single tab. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is fairly intuitive for most users. It is highly configurable to meet most of our needs. It is great that we can have our manufacturing partners in the system to collaborate on changes and to share up to date revisions on our products. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The ECN module doesn't allow for multiple working revisions which limits its usefulness as we have many concurrent changes to process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like Arena because it’s more user-friendly integration. It’s also very easy to link processes with each other. Arena staff is supportive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Arena is not capable enough to run both PLM and QMS together. For example, We created one batch of subassembly, It used in another subassembly, you can't be able to link the batch. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that Arena PLM & QMS is practically simple to use because the interface is quite easy. Additionally, the initial setup was quite easy; I only needed a username and a password and that's it, I was ready to go. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think there should be more tutorials on how to use Arena PLM & QMS. Currently, there aren't many tutorials available on its use, and there are many tools that might not be immediately visible. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Arena is a customizable QMS that allows organizations to implement an eQMS to satisfy regulatory requirements. In general, it does a good job of its core functionalities. In short, it's functional. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The lack of customizations leave a lot to be desired. Also, Arena often requires multiple clicks for almost every function (even adding a part number into an engineering change), whereas other eQMS are more streamlined. Furthermore, the UI *and* UX are both a bit convoluted for several key functions and simply more difficult to understand. In short, while most major functions exist here, Arena does a poor job of providing an intuitive interface and workflow that assists its users in performing tasks efficiently.

Arena PLM is very easy to use and works well for daily tasks like documentation control, BOM management, requests, and engineering changes. It keeps files and items organized in one place, making tracking and updates simple. Customer support has also been very helpful whenever needed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
