Windchill PLM Consultant **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Arvind K. | PLM Consultant (Windchill) Senior Software Engineer, Mechanical or Industrial Engineering, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 24, 2015 **What do you like best about Windchill?** Its one of the best PLM software I have ever seen in market. It collaborates almost everything like SUMA, WPA, MPMLink, Integrity, SAP and even other CAD softwares **What do you dislike about Windchill?** I do not have points for dislikes. They can still improve a bit on Project management as many companies expect it to behave the same as Microsoft project **What problems is Windchill solving and how is that benefiting you?** It has solved many problems for many customers. Like Supplier integration , ERP integration where they can make the system to talk in 2 way directions ### 2. THE BIG PDM tool that is scalable and unlikely to be outgrown no matter what Company size **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Israel P. | Solutions Architect, Information Technology and Services, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 23, 2015 **What do you like best about Windchill?** As this review is titled, PTC's Windchill PDM is a big scalable tool that most likely you won't be able to outgrown no matter what Company size. It is extremely solid and once properly implemented, it should be fairly stable and reliable. The web based workspace concept is process/task oriented making it helpful for understanding the role of PDM in an organization. Such workspaces are easy to create, manage and you can have different ones dedicated to each of your projects. **What do you dislike about Windchill?** This is not a tool for the faint of heart or the short on cash. Pretty much this is a big boys tool which requires lots of $ to maintain and support hence most oriented for big companies which can afford big teams to support such. I don't see how a small company can set or sustain this monster. I will say this is better for medium to biggest companies kind of tool. And if a medium company is going with this, you will need dedicated, experienced administrators for it and some highly PTC aware tools people. Don't dream or do the mistake of using informal support for it as it will fail. Be willing to expend lots of $ for it. **Recommendations to others considering Windchill:** Like I said before, this is not for the faint of heart. You need deep pockets and really experienced people to implement and support this tool. Once set, it's great for a big company. I do not recommend this for small companies. Anything else should suffice. **What problems is Windchill solving and how is that benefiting you?** Once this monster is set and stable, you get a beginning to end, at tool that support your environment for the full lifecycle. Again it is a tool that can support HUGE project or programs and pretty damn good at it. Not for the faint of hear, but once up and stable it will deliver like no other. ### 3. Working with windchill for 3 years for all product development and process development work. **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Binayak R. | Project Manager - Lean & Quality, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 04, 2016 **What do you like best about Windchill?** Product retrieval from a centralized location and ease of use. Maintaining all product drawing and models and also all engineering changes and actions at one place making it easy to access and regular follow ups. **What do you dislike about Windchill?** Sometimes the server becomes unresponsive due to heavy load. **Recommendations to others considering Windchill:** A must use for Auto and industrial products industry **What problems is Windchill solving and how is that benefiting you?** Central repository for Product drawings, models, description, managing all engineering changes in the organization. ### 4. PLM manages files. Is this really what is needed or is discrete data management needed. **Rating:** 2.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Dana N. | President, Information Technology and Services, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 29, 2015 **What do you like best about Windchill?** Windchill can accommodate a wide range of processes. It is fairly well integrated with PTC’s CAD modeling capability Creo. PTC support is good as long was you are willing to pay for it. **What do you dislike about Windchill?** The Windchill user interface is difficult for the user. Document checkin / checkout is an old paradigm that limits collaboration and knowledge development. It’s very difficult to find items in Windchill. The classification and attribute management functions lack functionality. Windchill is not very flexible. **Recommendations to others considering Windchill:** Determine if you need file management or discrete data management and the value of both approaches. **What problems is Windchill solving and how is that benefiting you?** We realized significant business benefits ($2.6B in free cashflow over 2 years) by managing discrete, detailed data about our parts, assemblies and products but Windchill was a very small contribution to our success. Windchill was used to control the parts once the rationalization work was complete. ### 5. A Professional, Reliable PLM system. Perfectly balanced for both small and large companies needs. **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Graham L. | PLM Consultant, Information Technology and Services, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 21, 2015 **What do you like best about Windchill?** Ease of use. Smart, modern, clean layout. Browser based, so no need for 'bolt-on' or bespoke software. Metadata storage and management uses the worlds leading Databases (Oracle or MS SQL) so you know it's going to be solid and reliable. Integrates perfectly into PTC Creo, and other 3D CAD Packages. Continually being developed, improved and updated by PTC, so no worries about product becoming dated. Excellent product support provided by PTC **What do you dislike about Windchill?** Windchill's reliance on Java can cause a headache. But this is because Java is continually updated and sometimes adds security restrictions that cause problems. It's not a Windchill issue, as PTC have no control over Java's development. With so many products using and relying on Java, it would be sensible for Oracle to stop releasing Java updates that break software that relies on it !! **Recommendations to others considering Windchill:** Windchill is a solid, reliable PLM tool, and meets the needs of all sizes of business. Windchill is no longer just for large companies. It can be used successfully in small companies with just a couple of users. **What problems is Windchill solving and how is that benefiting you?** The main issue every business has, particularly those using 3D design software, is the management and security of their data. Windchill provides the tools to manage, store and share this business data securely with the rest of the business, using an interface that is clear, and easy to use. Windchill also gives a business the means to control their data in all stages of it's life cycle, from Work in Progress to Obsolescence for 3D/2D CAD, Office Documents, PDF's and so on. ### 6. A robust offering covering most bases for SMB and larger **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 29, 2015 **What do you like best about Windchill?** The Windchill suite nicely scales to several different sized businesses. There is no coding that needs to be done in order to have a 'working' product. This means that smaller customers are able to quickly implement a PLM system and begin using it effectively within a short amount of time. At the same time, there are many APIs that allow configuration and customization beyond what works OOTB. This means that large scale enterprises are able to effectively match the Windchill suite to their processes and disseminate information throughout large organizations. Additionally there are many utilities that are available to integrate with other systems as well as migrate data in to Windchill. This includes both PTC and non-PTC tools to do so. At least for me, the UI is decidedly easier than others for administration and users in general. Since it is basically a web page, most users are familiar with the browsing style. Organization has improved from version to version as well. Windchill is written in Java, which makes it easy to develop for given the API. Additionally Windchill runs on a variety of platforms like Windows Server, Linux (RHEL), and a number of UNIX distributions. **What do you dislike about Windchill?** The API is poorly documented and sometimes wrong. There are some classes that aren't listed in the API documentation that are necessary to have things function when customizing. Furthermore, Technical Support will often not provide any support for customization citing that it is "not a supported activity". While Java is something I like, it can also be terribly inefficient. There have been a number of occasions where there has been stacktraces in the system logs. After a call to technical support, I was informed that it was 'normal'. For the average Administrator this can be frustrating as they may only expect to see 'normal' logs where nothing is wrong, and anything else indicates a problem. **What problems is Windchill solving and how is that benefiting you?** There are many problems that may be solved by using the Windchill suite of software. Specifically Windchill PDMLink has a very nice workflow editor as well as OOTB workflows that may be customized and changed to serve a number of business processes. Promotion requests, change requests, change notices all have objects and support from the PDMLink. In addition to this, it is relatively easy to manage multiple different BOMs for a single product. This allows different roles to see the same shipping items differently for what is important to their area of work. ### 7. Excellent way to manage Product Lifecycle **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Deepak C. | Assistant Manager, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 27, 2015 **What do you like best about Windchill?** It is most convenient tool to manage all your CAD as well as project related data such as BOM & part attributes. I am using windchill in connected mode with creo and it gives me an ability to manage all my CAD files, its relationship with other cad files and document history. Its unique ability to manage BOM structure using part document as well as CAD document. **What do you dislike about Windchill?** It still got problem to manage third party CAD data as well as there needs to be some improvement in data sharing capabilities. **What problems is Windchill solving and how is that benefiting you?** It is effectively solving our engineering change management process. It is solving our problem of managing data of multiple geographical locations. ### 8. Powerful but non-intuitive Workflow tools **Rating:** 2.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Fabiola F. | Software Quality Engineer III, Defense & Space, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 16, 2015 **What do you like best about Windchill?** The workflows were very intricate and very powerful. It's a great tool; but was not easy to learn or easy to teach - for coworkers who didn't understand the logic behind it. **What do you dislike about Windchill?** It was hard to understand at times; and it was hard to coach others who had minimal knowledge of it. **Recommendations to others considering Windchill:** It's a very powerful and secure tool. Some might find a bit of a high learning curve. **What problems is Windchill solving and how is that benefiting you?** We wanted a platform that would be visible for clients outside of the company. It has GREAT security measures. But it was hard to coach people on the other end of the line if they weren't onsite. I liked the fact that you could share things with others through this platform. ### 9. A secure and central location to store, manage, and control product and project information **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Management Consulting | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 30, 2015 **What do you like best about Windchill?** It is a secure repository which allows management of project and product documents in their native format. Various CAD tools are supported, but works best with PTC's Creo. It is a very powerful tool that is capable of growing with an organization. **What do you dislike about Windchill?** The product is expensive and requires configuration by experienced administrators. The user interface is not easy to navigate for occasional users. **Recommendations to others considering Windchill:** Windchill is for a medium to large company. Make sure you understand your PLM needs. Although Windchill is a capable and powerful tool, it may be more than you need. **What problems is Windchill solving and how is that benefiting you?** Windchill provides a secure and central location to store, manage, and control product and project information. It helps keep geographically distributed teams informed. ProjectLink makes it is easier to track status of projects. ISO audits are completed more efficiently, since documents are centrally located. People are not running around searching file cabinets and emails for every document. Engineering change management process is improved by making sure all affected items are addressed. ### 10. PTC Windchill - A growing presence in the world of PLM tools. **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Medical Devices | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 29, 2015 **What do you like best about Windchill?** It is configurable, customize-able and works well with CAD Tools. Creo to Windchill Integration is awesome. The WIndchill 10 UI is very slick and has more configuration options then ever before. **What do you dislike about Windchill?** A lot of issues logged with PTC end up with a not supported or as per design answers. **Recommendations to others considering Windchill:** The most important consideration would be based on what type of CAD tools are you using, ease of migrating from your existing PDM to Windchill and which modules you intend to use. Windchill has a host of modules ranging from PDM to Change management to project management. Each module has its own use and is integrated with other WIndchill modules. **What problems is Windchill solving and how is that benefiting you?** We are able to maintain and integrate our CAD Data seamlessly in WIndchill. We have integration with a host of systems throughout our company where data is picked up or pushed to Windchill. The medical devices has to follow strict rules, guidelines and standards with strict monitoring and control. We are able to achieve that through Windchill. ### 11. PTC Windchill-Complete Product Related Information in Single Platform **Rating:** 3.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Automotive | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 23, 2015 **What do you like best about Windchill?** Helps Manage products through all phases of the product lifecycle. Works best if the CAD tool is CREO. Also supports all other CAD tools. It has Secured Repository, Versioning, Status Management, Viewer Solutions, DMU capability -These features I liked the most from PLM stand **What do you dislike about Windchill?** Personally I feel this is Product Centric approch of PLM as I am experianced using SAP PLM as well. Unlike SAP PLM, Windchill PDMLink is not having capability to Connect directly to ERP objects like Material Masters, Projects, Bill of Materials, Notifications and also Change Management if used in Windchill, you would require a middle wear to connect with ERP materials and BOM for Valid dates etc **Recommendations to others considering Windchill:** This is the excellent Ease to use PLM software can be definetly considered if the CAD tool used is PTC's Creo. I have no expeirance with other CAD tools with PDMLink so cant comment on Multi CAD Environment Handling Based on my personal experiance, If you want a PLM tool exclusively for managing the CAD files and all other Logistical activities in ERP keeping PLM and ERP separate, you can definetly consider this. If you would require a PLM tool be always directly integrated with the ERP and ERP is SAP, SAP PLM is the PLM tool which needs to be considered else to connect Winchill to SAP, organisations end up with lots of interfaces and maintenance becomes expensive and also this can lean to lots of errors between data in PLM and data in ERP. **What problems is Windchill solving and how is that benefiting you?** I have vast experiance working from Design Engineer working on most popular CAD tools exteensively using PTC's Pro/Intralink and PDMLink as PLM tool for Product Data Management, CAD/PLM Support role, SAP PLM Implementations, Migration and Support experiance Primarily addressing all the Product Design / NPDI / ECM pain areas using SAP PLM tool. When Working on PDMLink with Creo application, I have realised huge benifits which resulted in faster Product Development Cycle with the avaiability of latest Relesed version of CAD file in PDMLink, Changing the file with status and Change number, Managing Large Assemblies with Ease etc , Getting the 3D view of Product Data within WIndchill, Availability of all required Metadata, Excellent Search Features reducing the time in searchign the component etc. ### 12. really good product. **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Mechanical or Industrial Engineering | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 04, 2015 **What do you like best about Windchill?** Easy access and use. Most other software are more tedious to use. **What do you dislike about Windchill?** It's slow. That would be my main concern about windchill. **Recommendations to others considering Windchill:** It's really good. **What problems is Windchill solving and how is that benefiting you?** Use it a lot to update ECN. Very easy. ### 13. Product itself is easy to work with and to learn **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Transportation/Trucking/Railroad | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** July 17, 2015 **What do you like best about Windchill?** Very powerful software and used in adding in parts and products from our various divisions for our engineers to use. **What do you dislike about Windchill?** Tech support is outsourced. Sometimes they are hard to understand. Also, their procedures and manuals don't always follow real life and one will have to open up a ticket with the tech support. **What problems is Windchill solving and how is that benefiting you?** Bringing together various parts spread out over many divisions. ### 14. Windchill Review **Rating:** 3.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Jonathan K. | Research and Development Engineering Manager, NPI Engineering Manager, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 13, 2015 **What do you like best about Windchill?** Ability to sift through all the drawings and design data that is currently used in the company. The program runs well with PTC run programs (Creio) and CAN manage data and designs very well. Easy to find parts, pieces, and components which are already designed (function of part numbering systems). **What do you dislike about Windchill?** Runs well in PTC run programs, but easily gets confused by data input from other softwares. Have to remember to lock the component while editing to avoid multiple people editing at the same time and ruining the revision history of the part. **Recommendations to others considering Windchill:** Remember to lock components which are being edited **What problems is Windchill solving and how is that benefiting you?** Data management and component library design and development ### 15. PTC Windchill: Great configuration mgmt & CAD mgmt tool **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 07, 2015 **What do you like best about Windchill?** The ability to quickly link CAD structures and Bills of Material to Windchill is very helpful in maintaining configuration control at an Engineering BOM level. I've used Windchill to integrate with Creo & SolidWorks, both worked well. Creo has better interface since it's also a PTC product. Workflow creation / management is good feature. **What do you dislike about Windchill?** Reporting can be more intuitive and the out of the box workflows are not robust but I imagine it's difficult to design business processes that are 'One Size Fits All.' **Recommendations to others considering Windchill:** Consider larger implementation and factor in multiple training sessions for new & current users. **What problems is Windchill solving and how is that benefiting you?** Efficiently managing CAD & linking this data to Bills of Materials. This connection allows for tighter configuration control and improves downstream records in manufacturing industry. ### 16. PLM Tool Review **Rating:** 2.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 26, 2015 **What do you like best about Windchill?** Flexible Configuration option with respect to attributes. Active Directory Integration makes User Management easy. **What do you dislike about Windchill?** AD Integration rarely creates duplicate user record based on certain condition. This was raised to PTC at the highest level. There is no fix for this. **Recommendations to others considering Windchill:** Please validate all the business requirements before choosing PLM tool. **What problems is Windchill solving and how is that benefiting you?** Product Design and Sample Management Collaboration with vendor ### 17. Windchill PDMLink review **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Scott O. | Systems Integration Specialist, Oil & Energy, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 07, 2015 **What do you like best about Windchill?** I like the fact that it is a web based application and required very little configuration on the client side and the Pro/E integration worked very well with it. **What do you dislike about Windchill?** The third party CAD integrations worked but in my opinion not real well. **What problems is Windchill solving and how is that benefiting you?** We had multiple data repositories and by moving to Windchill we were able to move all of our CAD data to a single repository. This has tremendously reduced the time it takes to find and update CAD models. ### 18. Windchill - for Retail and Footwear Industries **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Design | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 29, 2015 **What do you like best about Windchill?** I've implemented FlexPLM the RFA version of Windchill and it is a robust comprehensive solution that can scale for larger organizations. **What do you dislike about Windchill?** Customizing Windchill is still a necessity if integrating the solution into a full end to end supply chain platform. The user interface lacks all the bells and whistles of newer software applications and user pushback is an issue. **What problems is Windchill solving and how is that benefiting you?** PLM offers a full range of benefits. In the RFA space they align around time to market, BOM management and portfolio and line plan management. ### 19. Robust Product **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Packaging and Containers | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 07, 2015 **What do you like best about Windchill?** Very thorough control mecahnisms available. **What do you dislike about Windchill?** Creo View can be quite finnicky to get working on the multitude of computer configurations encountered in a business. **Recommendations to others considering Windchill:** Be sure to take plenty of time to decide how you want it configured. Be sure to have a knowledgeable and thoughtful team. Windchill will not configure itsself, but with good foresight and undestanding of the product it can work well for you. **What problems is Windchill solving and how is that benefiting you?** We have automated a lot of manual based process using windchill and it's workflows. We have also secured our and backed up our data in windchill. ### 20. Best Product Developement Tool **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Krishnamurthi B. | Specialist Master, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 02, 2015 **What do you like best about Windchill?** Wind-chill is best in Product development process..especially during Initial Phases like Proto type modeling. The best part is PDM Link has different options to compare your models and results **What do you dislike about Windchill?** Need improvement on ERP integration and Manufacturing Space. **Recommendations to others considering Windchill:** Improvement on - ERP Integration **What problems is Windchill solving and how is that benefiting you?** Data protection and One source of the system ### 21. PTC Windchill Review **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Information Technology and Services | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 16, 2015 **What do you like best about Windchill?** Best part is there is no need to install client, it is web based application. **What do you dislike about Windchill?** To be honest, I don't like PTC Technical Support, even for small issues TS is taking too much time to resolve. **What problems is Windchill solving and how is that benefiting you?** We are in Oil and Gas industries so it is very helpful to manage the big data. ## Windchill Discussions - [What is PTC product?](https://www.g2.com/discussions/what-is-ptc-product) - 1 comment - [View Windchill pricing details and edition comparison](https://www.g2.com/products/ptc-windchill/reviews?page=3§ion=pricing&secure%5Bexpires_at%5D=2026-08-02+21%3A58%3A04+-0500&secure%5Bsession_id%5D=7cb15ba1-7647-4788-b9c3-004ebcab22fa&secure%5Btoken%5D=e9132ce02568a6f7aaffb6bec3472a02c9b4cfa9e151877c9f6538500612b0e1&format=llm_user) ## Windchill Integrations - [Creo](https://www.g2.com/products/creo-2025-08-26/reviews) - [SAP ECC](https://www.g2.com/products/sap-ecc/reviews) ## Windchill Features **Metadata** - Repository - Taxonomy - Types **New Product Introduction** - Ideation - Time-to-market - Cost estimating - Product approval **Requirements Authoring and Structure - Requirements Management** - Structured Requirements Authoring - Hierarchical Requirements Organization **Compliance and Governance - Requirement Management** - Regulated Industry Standards Support **Data Management** - Version Control - Alignment - Workflows - Lifecycle **Administration** - Requirements Listing - Centralized Information - Traceability **CAD** - CAD Models - CAD Options - Conversion **Collaboration and Review - Requirements Management** - Review and Approval Workflows - Role-Based Access Control **Communication** - Stakeholder Communication - Internal Communication Enablement **Collaboration** - Supplier alignment - Communication - Development - Document Management **Generative AI** - AI Text Summarization - AI Image-to-Text **Role-Based Access Co - Requirements Management** - Baselining **Procedural** - Automated Creation & Testing **Product Data Management** - Product Metadata - Data Quality - Version Control **Traceability - Requirements Management** - Bidirectional Traceability - Impact Analysis - Traceability Matrix Generation **Bill of Materials** - BOM management - Multi-level BOM - BOM Types - BOM visualization **AI Traceability - Requirements Management** - Suspect Link Detection **Engineering Change Management** - ECR Workflows - Change Management - ECO Management **Integration - Requirements Management** - ALM and Project Management Tool Integration **Simulation** - Virtual Testing - Analysis - Optimization **Change Management and Version Control - Requirements Management** - Complete Audit Trail **Analytics** - Reporting - Costing - Product Intelligence **Quality management** - Quality planning - Traceability - Compliance **Integration** - ERP - MES - PIM - Maintenance **Generative AI** - AI Text Summarization - AI Image-to-Text ## Top Windchill Alternatives - [Teamcenter](https://www.g2.com/products/teamcenter/reviews) - 4.3/5.0 (1,263 reviews) - [Aras Innovator](https://www.g2.com/products/aras-innovator/reviews) - 4.4/5.0 (113 reviews) - [Autodesk Fusion Manage](https://www.g2.com/products/autodesk-fusion-manage/reviews) - 4.3/5.0 (108 reviews)
