"Centralized Approvals and Phase Gates Make Compliance Tracking Easy"
5/5
What do you like best about Arena PLM & QMS?

How project requests, changes and items are in different fields. Able to get approvals and phase gate approvals from a single place and able to track all the progress anytime for compliance side Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Arena PLM & QMS?

Need added features to track from production side of this? Need to use additional software like BAAN & SAP to track implementation side of projects. Ability to link such ERP systems or an inbuilt ERP system for such tracking would help tremendously. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
