"GREAT web-based PLM system!"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Autodesk Fusion Manage?

The Autodesk Fusion Lifecycle PLM system has been a welcomed addition to our process. The hosted software requires no hardware or software installs and is a breeze to get up and running with. The service seems to be rock solid (based on AWS) and we've had no trouble with downtime or lagging. The suite of tools for mobile devices coupled with the web interface means we always have access to our data, regardless of where we go and what we do. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Autodesk Fusion Manage?

The building of all of the rules is a serious trip. It will take you quite some time to get them built correctly and many of the various menus are not co-located within the same area of the admin tools. While every PLM software takes time to get the roles/responsibilities and rules sorted, it was painful to have to navigate between menus buried several screens apart to verify functions, check spelling, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Autodesk Fusion Manage:

Since Fusion Lifecycle lives in the cloud, embrace those tools early and make them part of your process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Autodesk Fusion Manage solving and how is that benefiting you?

Fusion Lifecycle has enabled us to keep our engineering process streamlined and connected. With the email and mobile based tools we are able to keep up with design change tasks and reviews across our organization, regardless of who might be out of the loop at the time. We have saved months of development time by automating design checkoffs with our customers and strategic partners. We're also able to track equipment maintenance and process failures for analysis of our entire manufacturing chain from design through customer returns. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Flexible and Powerful Cloud-Based PLM Tool"

5/5

What do you like best about Autodesk Fusion Manage?

I like best that Autodesk PLM 360 is an easy-to-use and easy-to-administer PLM solution that is yet powerful and has all the benefits of the Cloud and the backing of a respected software company, Autodesk. The user interface is intuitive and consistent across a company's implementation. Administrators can self-study from the extensive online help guide and the many YouTube videos available, or can confidently maintain their system after a three-day training class. Autodesk PLM 360 has deep and broad capabilities for bills of materials, change management, and quality management; including BOM compare, configurable change order process with automated notifications, and linked non-conformance reports, corrective action / preventative action and change requests. Autodesk PLM 360 can be tailored to a business' needs and can additionally be integrated with other systems (ERP, CRM, PDM). This is all provided on a cloud platform, so no hardware, installation, or manual upgrades are required! Autodesk is quite responsive to their customers and engage with them via not only customer support but also general discussion forums, new idea forum, and user conferences and events. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Autodesk Fusion Manage?

I dislike that updates made in a development environment cannot be automatically ported to a production environment. There are alternate ways to do this, so for customers I have worked with it is not a huge issue. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Autodesk Fusion Manage:

I would recommend others to take advantage of the 30-day free trial of Autodesk PLM 360 to get a good feel for it. Also to keep in mind that most companies find anywhere from a small to large amount of JavaScript to be helpful to their implementations (w3schools.com/jsref/). Finally, to be thinking of where an integration with Autodesk PLM 360 could really benefit one's business--this is usually done with PLM Connect, Powered by Jitterbit (jitterbit.com/solutions/autodesk-integration/). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Autodesk Fusion Manage solving and how is that benefiting you?

I have seen Autodesk PLM 360 solve problems from an uncontrolled BOM on a spreadsheet, to manual revisions for parts in an ancient ERP system, to lack of a consistent product lifecycle process. The benefits that are realized include: a single source of truth for the BOM, accessible by users from any device; properly controlled part revisions and therefore accurate data for manufacturing and suppliers; and a repeatable, documented, and approved process for product production and delivery. These benefits are attainable with a straightforward, pay-as-you-go subscription model. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
