"Excellent Product Data Management and Seamless CAD Integration"
What do you like best about Windchill?

What I like best about Windchill is its strong product data management and version control. It keeps all design files, documents, and changes in one central place, which reduces confusion and errors. The integration with CAD tools is also very helpful, making collaboration between engineering teams smoother and more organized. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Windchill?

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 The interface feels outdated, and many tasks take more steps than expected.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

"Great File Structuring and Linking, But Search Needs Improvement"
What do you like best about Windchill?

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.

What do you dislike about Windchill?

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.

"Centralized Data and Seamless CAD Integration Elevate Collaboration"
What do you like best about Windchill?

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Windchill?

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.

"Effortless Collaboration and Revision Control with Windchill"
What do you like best about Windchill?

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.

What do you dislike about Windchill?

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.
