Oracle Agile is great for companies that need a way to manage their products and work with various resources in their department from developers, to PMs and UX designers. This is a great way to keep track of feature requests and shippable versions of the product. Implementation and user friendlessness is an issue with this tool so companies that have the budget for consulting or for additional resources to help implement and maintain will need those resources as it is necessary. Training resources should also be factored in by any institution wishing to implement this.
It is a system with good integration capabilities, it is necessary to use it every day to manage the entire life cycle of a product, the data is well established, it has a large number of CAD formats, we share data with great agility, which allows us to work as a team and solve any problem that arises, we keep our designs under control and share with our work team solutions based on data extraction thanks to Teamcenter. I recommend it for small and large companies, it is the ideal solution to maintain a product life cycle with great stability.
We can constantly change the structure of our project in use depending on our need to show only some areas of the job at the moment, and there are no problems with it.
There is a tool designed for failover, which helps to keep the job without constant losses, leaving us with an infrastructure secure enough to give us confidence in our work.
It is an easy-to-use tool and integrates many capabilities to manage CAD better than any other tool.
It is used by many companies with a great global presence and that has generated confidence for us when we decided to try it, the results have been satisfactory.
The user interface of this tool is not complex, it is easy to navigate and integrates a lot of functionalities that speed up our work significantly; as well as functionalities such as sectioning, displacing, moving, positioning, transforming, among others that have a lot to do with CAD management.
It works via the web through the browser, so it is not necessary to download any application that takes up space and more resources on the computer.
roles definition and authorization can be made more user friendly
process schedule definition requires more of IT skills than an actual use case, there can be dashboards to define such processes and it can be automated effectively
organization of workflows can be handled better and there should be automated reminders for tasks within the workflow
the user interface is pretty outdated, still menu based and has lot of scope for improvement
Because of our current customer needs, we will most likely maintain use of Siemens PLM products for some time. Aside from the initial software cost, we pay for yearly maintenance. Maintaining our yearly maintenance licensing with Siemens, we receive access to all of the latest software releases, as well as premier technical support
As previously mentioned, due to the intense amount of features and modules present in the software, the usability of the software suffers greatly. Many of the features are not used in our context, and many of the modules are not purchased, but the options are still present on the interface leading to a lot of clutter, much of which is never used. The interfaces suffer from a lack of design and tend to feel like a conglomerate of Windows 98 elements.
It is an information bank for multinational companies. You can share and find any information or data about projects and different products.

We did not evaluate other software because Oracle Agile PLM was highly recommended by our Board of Directors. We knew of another company that used it with favorable results and felt it would help us in our management of the manufacturing process.
It is best to schedule projects and basic designs and execute a 3D plan with essential changes in details along with product planning, introduction, growth, maturity, and decline. It was easy to deploy at the first instance they provide very smooth and easy customer care support which is available 24/7.
It's a very robust and mature tool. The only thing that would make it better is the have a version embrace the cloud, which I'm sure is underway, but it's complicated, so it will take more time. But when it's done, look out. It will be near-perfect!
