Aras PLM vs. HSI Donesafe

Aras PLM works for our company, yet I don't have experience with any other software system. The system does not refresh and update quickly. Often times users need to force a refresh or logout and logon to verify changes and updates. The Lock and Unlock feature needs getting used to.

Donesafe is suited to any business due to its customisability and flexibility. There are no situations we have found as yet where it is not suited.

• Aras PLM uses terms and labels that can be confusing like Subsystem / Subsystem Version, Project Record Number (PRN). Companies need to understand these terms and develop business processes to set user standards.
• I personally use Aras PLM to manage information technology project documents. In my opinion, Aras PLM is more geared to product and engineering. I would like to see a general project management Aras PLM version with terms and labels that I am familiar with.
• The description field should be made required. Many of our engineers have created records and left that blank because it was not required. This would help with the context or background of each record.

• Timely response from the contractor's support team.
• Provision of more in depth training to the Admins.
• Provision of more in depth training for the Admins to troubleshoot from the back end.
• Constant follow up and checks done by the contractor after the launch would've been helpful.

Donesafe has made it easier to roll out the system company-wide in a relatively short period of time. The mobile apps which work offline are the best part about getting the workforce onboarded and start using the tools for reporting incidents and doing inspections with easy checklists. The flexible system makes sure there are no unused parts of the software which just adds to the complexity.

Our company developed numerous IBM Lotus Notes databases to perform document control. Aras PLM is the better choice to IBM Notes databases and home grown databases.

Knocked it out of the park, in functionality and usability, particularly in the configuration at the back end. Looks good and customisable to meet branding and look and feel of the business.
