"Intuitive, Beginner-Friendly PLM Interface with Flexible Column Customization"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Arena PLM & QMS?

The interface is incredibly easy to jump into for someone that is new to the PLM software. The interface is intuitive with everything you need right at the top. I also like the face that you can customize the columns within each world to make it useful for different roles. I have used the AI integration tool to do some advanced searching and it seems to work very well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Arena PLM & QMS?

I have noticed a bug, when entering an item it takes a while to load up and when it does load my search box disappears. It would also be nice if it sent the approval prompt emails out more often to the approvers, I also don't love the format of the emails it send. The text is small and send it all in one graphic. I think this causing some to ignore the email, as opposed to if it was written in a true email paragraph format. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

The arena PLM is allowing us to manage all of our part numbers, including revision and BOM control. I am a mechanical engineer at the company and our department controls almost all of the documentation that is released to production. Arena helps us manage this documentation and keep record keeping of all revisions and engineering changes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
