"Arena PLM: A Scalable, Well-Organized Platform for Growing Teams"

4/5

What do you like best about Arena PLM & QMS?

We moved on from a tool that our organization had outgrown. Arena’s PLM tool capability will allow us to continue growing without the restrictions of a more basic tool. Having different spaces within the tool for items, requests, changes, suppliers, files, and so on means you know exactly where to look for the file or data you need, while also avoiding being overwhelmed by too many results.

What do you dislike about Arena PLM & QMS?

As with any PLM tool, there’s a learning curve to really understand how to use it. Arena has supported this well with training videos, but the platform still requires discipline and staying up to date with the training, as it isn’t always intuitive. We’ve also had the opportunity to customize certain processes and fields; however, there have been occasions when we haven’t been able to make the adjustments we requested.

What problems is Arena PLM & QMS solving and how is that benefiting you?

Arena helps us with process control and document management. It ensures processes are followed, while still supporting us in moving through those processes with speed. Arena’s deployment of working revisions and revisions that are under review also ensures all users understand the status of the file they’re viewing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
