I like that it is built into The Creo interface. No need to log into a separate software. You can also use a stand alone version in windows. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Windchill?

Defaults not good for every situation. Difficulty with versioning parts in Pro-e and making them locally modified. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Experience with this product is mostly in retreiving and storing product/project information."
3.5/5
What do you like best about Windchill?

What I like most is the ability to store information for an item or project in one location within multiple folders. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Windchill?

During an upgrade to a newer version, some of the links between folders to comments do not seem to work like they used to. Now, instead of having a link to a comment section, I have to navigate manually. Not too big of a deal, really, but it is just more steps to take. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A User's Review"
3.5/5
What do you like best about Windchill?

It has improved a lot over the years and is more user-friendly; however, I can see it has some room for improvement, and, since things are changing, I can only assume there will be changes in the future. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Windchill?

if I haven't searched for a few minutes, I'm required to refresh the page to be able to search again. This can be annoying as well as time waster. I can tell there are employees who avoid using it because they ask me to find documents for them. I can only assume that there are some that don't find it easy to use and, therefore, make less enjoyable for me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

UI needs to be more user friendly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"PTC Windchill review"
3.5/5
What do you like best about Windchill?

This software has many capabilities from being the vault for CAD files, word documents, and many other files types. It also allows for routing and approval & reviews. My company has used this for 8 years, and we now also collaborate with customers who also use the same product. We can use Windchill to submit supplier request for drawing change with the collaboration functionality. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Windchill?

As with many large complicated software programs, there are occasional issues and very minor down time, but PTC support is prompt and are rarely down more than an hour. Some work functions (sales, quality, managers) who don't use this every day struggle to use because it is a complex program and remembering menu pics and methods can be a challenge.
