Windchill Reviews & Product Details

We are working with many different teams about our analysis progresses, when the designers made any revision on the project or any update we can directly and we will see who made the changes and updates. Also we can open and download the data easily. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes it can be very slow depending on the data size. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like most about Windchill is its strong product data management and version control. It keeps all design files, documents, and revisions in one central place, which helps reduce confusion and prevent errors. I also find the integration with CAD tools very useful, since it makes collaboration between engineering teams smoother, more organized, and easier to manage.

What I dislike about Windchill is that it can feel complex and not very user-friendly, especially for new users. The interface seems outdated, and many tasks take more steps than I would expect. It also requires significant training and ongoing system support, and performance can be slow at times, particularly when working with large datasets.

I appreciate PTC Windchill's advanced search feature, which allows me to use specific criteria to pull reports and audit a large number of released objects. This helps me quickly determine what objects require revision or risk assessment. I also value how Windchill shows the relationships between various objects within the system, making it easier to manage and understand complex data structures.

The release process can be incredibly frustrating and signature templates can only be updated by a few admins. Allowing the template to be customized within the process flow or allowing the ECM to be reassigned permanently if its owner leaves the company would be a huge benefit. Right now, the owner can be changed, but if the ECN is rejected, all reassignments must be redone. Additionally, the initial setup is not particularly intuitive, and new team members struggle without the help of someone with tribal knowledge. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The way files are structured and linked makes it easy to view the dependencies of a particular part, assembly, or print. Additionally, the ability to link a gear part with universal attributes is helpful, especially when working with Oracle. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The search engine could use some improvement, as it currently only looks for exact matches. I would prefer if it could also find the closest matches instead. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I appreciate the robust centralized data management, the smooth CAD integration, and the effective change management capabilities. These features make a significant difference by improving collaboration and guaranteeing that every team can rely on a single, trustworthy source of product information.

When it comes to PTC Windchill software, I often find myself frustrated by its steep learning curve and the user interface, which I consider to be far from intuitive. Additionally, I have encountered performance issues and noticed that a significant amount of administrative effort is needed to implement the software effectively.

The Windchill provides strong control over product data, revisions, and change management. It also helps to maintain a single source of truth for CAD data, BOMs, and documents, improving collaboration and traceability across teams. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The user interface can feel outdated, and common actions often require multiple steps. Performance can also be slow at times, especially when working with large assemblies or complex BOMs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like about Windchill is that it allows you to check in parts so that others can view and edit those same parts while keeping the rev history and also not allowing the part to be modified when someone else is working on it. It is very useful for ensuring you have the most up to date correct revision item when working with assemblies and parts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I dislike that sometimes the check in process gets complex and you have to figure out what is not set right in order to check in items/assemblies, depending on what you have checked out, etc, discovering exactly what is not right and resolving it can take a significant amount of time if you are not familiar with some of the rules and why they are in place.
