    When we have a particularly large ad or job printing file that would "clog up" the email process, using ShareFile is very helpful. It's also useful for particular photographers we work with to upload a batch of photos all at once. Where it doesn't work as well for us is when trying to get clients to make use of a login to access folders. We find them reluctant to take on the learning curve. It works best for us when we just send them a clickable download link, and at most just require a tracking name and email address.

    Teamcenter is perfect for working in large-scale projects related to manufacturing and engineering where collaboration and management of data are crucial. It is evident where the complexity of the products is high such as in automobile and aerospace industries. Some of its features may seem too elaborate for the small business with a less complex process and therefore too expensive. It is less useful in organizations that do not have complex PLM needs or have less IT capacity to implement the system.

    Pros
    Progress ShareFile
    • Secure File Storage and Sharing.
    • Workflows to get customer/affiliate responses to comments on documents.
    • I used to have the signature feature initially, but it was removed from the original plan, so I could only use it if I chose to select the higher plan price.
    • I love the upload notifications and reports on user activity.
    • The document storage versions are fantastic. I am the only user with Delete privileges, and I love that I can make those selections.
    • Integrations with Microsoft 365 - FANTASTIC - thank you.

    • Teamcenter is a great PLM tool that allows collaboration between our teams, it’s possible to create a variety of teams that can all collaborate in one environment and share relevant information, I like that all the data can be integrated into the application so that it’s more organized and structured.
    • When working with Teamcenter, the roles can be properly distributed so it’s easy to see all the workflows and things that need to be done.
    • The interface is very nice and you can work through it if you don’t know some features. I like how well-integrated everything is and how easy it is to use and implement into your daily work routine.
    • One of my favorite aspects of Teamcenter is its reporting tools, they are definitely some of the best tools I have tried, allowing me to integrate data from different places into the platform and analyze it in different ways. Analyzing a variety of key metrics is possible and helps us have better results in our sales.

    Cons
    Progress ShareFile
    • The web console is not the most user friendly site to use to get to, and send my files.
    • We have had users that have not liked the change in workflow to get files from Progress ShareFile when they were used to just clicking on files on an email.
    • That management of the tools are not the most user friendly. There have been some improvements but keeping up with certs and setting up new users can be more work than expected.

    • Projects tab, easier way to manage smart folders.
    • Where use/referenced reports -> build in to show in excel, not im impact analysis only.
    • Build-in change management - it would be good to have one template to be used in the automotive industry.
    • Cheaper manufacturing licenses.

    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

    Usability

    ShareFile is so easy to use I was able to download all of my projects files and have them set up to sync before my supervisor could even come over to explain the process to me. It is a neatly organized and intuitive software that allows even the less tech-savvy to become power users.

    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.

    Easy to use, easy to integrate with Outlook. I only gave it a 9 because I have found that sometimes it does not play nicely with Outlook and can slow it down. But, when that happens (not frequent), I restart Outlook and all is well again

    Citrix was generally responsive and helpful in solving technical issues. Like any cloud based SaaS product there is a danger that it may go down. This was a rare occurrence over my three years of using the product. The more common issue we encountered was clients forgetting their login which was easily managed through a forgot password functionality.

    Good documentation for the API. With a little help from RS tech staff, any competent programmer should be able to integrate RightSignature with an existing system in a week or three. That help is easy to get as well

    ShareFile is easier and does what you need. I have moved a few organizations from SharePoint to ShareFile. Just easier. You can setup different areas for different departments, setup their permissions and it is easy enough for them to do what they want in their zones. The mobile app works great as well. So you can all the features you really use from SP, but just easier to setup and use.

    Earlier, some of the companies acquired by my organization were using PTC Windchill, but the overall stability, user experience and depth of functionality which are provided by Teamcenter doesn't match with any other PLM software and thus, all the acquired companies which were earlier using PTC Windchill has now slowly started into moving towards Teamcenter.

    Teamcenter is easily on the best scalable solution. The single source of product information allows us to collaborate more effectively on the product lifecycle. Also, being a cloud solution, it is pretty straightforward to scale as the maintenance required is quite low . In addition, the overall cost is also easily manageable for businesses like ours.

    • All of our clients and consulting engineers find ShareFile easy to use, thus complementing our business.
    • Our staff also find ShareFile intuitive, accessible, and easy to use, making it an ideal, everyday indispensable desktop tool for everyone in our company.
    • ShareFile can be linked to our firm's primary website as a placed for private use. We haven't found need for this yet, but might in the future.

    • Definitely, it has a very positive impact so to speak. What we are trying to do through our program, we are utilizing the full capacity of Teamcenter to produce one structure in an effective way. So before we implement this activity, the user has to prepare 10 to 15 structures to reach to our best possible data that can be set across the systems. But now with the complete capability of Teamcenter, we are able to do all these things into one structure itself and then let the system do all the automation or the things that users do not have to concentrate on. All of the automations are done behind the systems and then it is improving not only the efficiency of the end user, but also making a standardized way in order to proceed and transfer the data holistically towards other systems like SAP.
