"Modern, Global Search and Critical OOTB Color Management in Centric PLM"
What do you like best about Centric PLM?

Centric PLM is a modern system with the ability to search and find created products and materials quickly on a global scale. The OOTB features, with respect to color management are critical for our business. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Centric PLM?

The reporting tools and the 'look' of the data packages is not as customizable as I would like. I hit walls when I ask if we can remove a certain heading (like "Multi-level placements from the BOM section"). We cannot use some of these reports as a customer facing document because they are not professional looking enough. I would like to explore Document Generator Tool, but no one yet seems to know how it works. I also want to find out how "Similar Styles" works, but again, there is very little knowledge of how this can be set up or used when asking the Centric trainers and support team.

Centric PLM's biggest help is acting as a single source of truth, centralizing product data to boost collaboration, speed up time-to-market, and improve quality by connecting teams (design, production, suppliers) on one platform

What do you dislike about Centric PLM?

Users dislike Centric PLM for being expensive, especially with hidden costs for extra features, support, and customizations; having a steep learning curve with counter-intuitive navigation and complex setup; and sometimes slow, glitchy performance with difficult data management and limited in-house admin control, requiring significant training Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Centric PLM?

Centric PLM is a well designed and user-friendly tool that makes collaboration and visibility effortless for our team. It serves as a single source of truth for product data helping teams stay aligned and efficient. The interface is intuitive, and features like the calendar and task management tools make tracking responsibilities easy. Overall, it streamlines product development and has been helping us speed up time to launch. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Centric PLM?

The navigation felt a bit overwhelming at first, and configuring views or tabs isn’t always intuitive. There’s also limited flexibility with data imports and handling large datasets or automating uploads could be smoother. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Positive experience using CENTRIC"
What do you like best about Centric PLM?

I've had a positive experience using Centric PLM overall. It's a well-developed and user-friendly product lifecycle management tool that significantly improves collaboration, visibility, and efficiency across teams. The interface is intuitive, and the system is robust, offering a wide range of features that support product development and time-to-market goals. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Centric PLM?

However, one area that needs improvement is data import flexibility. The current limitations on bulk uploading using Excel files, APIs, or other automated methods can be frustrating, especially when dealing with large datasets. Adding support for these features would make the tool even more powerful and time-saving. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Comprehensive End-to-End Product Lifecycle Management"
What do you like best about Centric PLM?

We have found Centric to be an extremely valuable tool for product lifecycle management. It serves as a single source of truth for product details and supplier quotes/communication.

When you dig deeper into what the software can do you can tell that every aspect of product management has been really thought through. It helps clearly define roles and responsibilities and gives all stakeholders visibility. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Centric PLM?

There is a steep learning curve with the user navigation. Moving through the software at times feels counter intuitive and it is easy to get lost. I think by implementing some UI best-practices as well as adding more visual cues could really benefit the ease of use of the software.

In future states I would also like to see a most robust chat/communication tool. We often find ourselves still using email to communicate when long threads are necessary. Having this communication live in Centric in the future would be ideal. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Centric PLM Review- R.Kinkaid"
What do you like best about Centric PLM?

Since I am new to the system, I liked learning the process on how a style is created and the different tools that you can use to adjust your view and make your projects suitable for you.

I also like that there is a calendar feature that can be used to send other team members tasks that will need to be completed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Centric PLM?

When trying to configure your views or tabs, it can be a little confusing on how it should be managed. There are a lot of libraries/ sections to choose from and it could be overwhelming. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great PLM System"
What do you like best about Centric PLM?

Its robust customizable platform. You can really set up centric in so many ways in order to optimize the workflows you need. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Centric PLM?

Not being able to customize it yourself without paying for service hours and taking their mandatory classes... Its already an expensive program. It seems like price gouging to lock capabilities and force you to use their wildly overpriced service hours Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
