What is Arena PLM and QMS?
Arena, a PTC business, helps companies to design, produce, and deliver innovative products with a unified cloud-based PLM and QMS platform. Arena understands modern product companies rely on distributed teams and global supply chains to develop products, ensure regulatory compliance (FDA, ISO, ITAR, EAR, and environmental compliance), and respond to customer demands.
Arena states that they have more than 1,400 global high-tech electronics and medical device customers. Companies with complex products comprised of electrical, mechanical, and software designs need a single system to collaborate in real-time. Arena enables every participant throughout the entire product lifecycle to work together–increasing visibility and traceability.

Arena Basics
We both learned a lot during the implementation. It took an incredibly long time, but I don't think Arena had ever worked with a company that had so much information to move into the application. In the end, it worked out. Very satisfied with the implementation team.

My review of Arena
I was not employed by the company when Arena was deployed.

Arena Rocks!!!
It was very simple and straightforward. Excellent guidance and ease of establishing the infrastructure made it quick to implement.

Review of Arena in a Tech Design to Manufacturer Environment
Yes, implementation went smoothly.

Arena solutions to business system management
It was easy to transition to Arena. Files are easy to upload. However it took a while to enter in all existing files.

Arena PLM is da BOM
We had a difficult implementation primarily because our existing data was kept in spreadsheets and text files, and had to be manually collected and converted. We performed these tasks with in-house resources rather than contracting an outside firm to manage the implementation.

Arena, The Essential Electronic Design Assistant
As mentioned in last question, the implementation team mainly consisted of Doug Johnston performed an outstanding job at helping us to integrate our electronic CAD system with Arena and bringing up our electronic component database which had truly shown Arena's useful capabilities. We were extremely satisfied with the Arena implementation team.

Easy Peasy
Arena was very easy to deploy specially with the help from the implementation person.
Implementation team was very helpful in setting up the system at RefleXion in efficient manner.

Small company review of Arena
We've not yet fully implemented but I think it will be because we have expert users who can tell people exactly how to find what they're looking for.

Great Product - Needs Polishing
As we were new a new company and first to market the implementation of our product and thus Arena was delayed. Arena was pretty simplistic to deploy with the help of our implementation person. The delays were on our side only.

Arena PLM Review
Arena was implemented a year before I started here but from what I understand it was easy to deploy and it implemented on time. We had a very able implementation manager that put in place all the necessary procedures and had all the necessary inputs from the different functional groups within the organization.

Arena for Now
At the time, there wasn't an "implementation" team. It required hiring an Arena specialist to set us up but in hindsight, there should have been more oversight because although he knew Arena well, he didn't know hardware components well.

Arena - a pretty good tool.
I was not part of this experience. Arena has been in use at my current company for many years. The revision roll-out webinars, however, have been very useful, as are the training videos.

Arena Sets Me Free!
Our implementation experience was a good one, Gururaj was immensely helpful in making our transition and training a positive experience.

Arena admin review
Arena was easy to implement and we had it running in a very short period of time. Arena supports a lot in implementing their solution. The team was quite satisfied with the ease of implementation.

Arena Rocks
Very satisfied with implementation. The customer support was amazing. Gurugi was excellent and kept us informed of every step along the way.

Good for a permanent solution
I was not involved with the initial implementation. However, the ERP implementation took several months and we had to hire a contractor to do it. The solution relied on exports from Arena and complex scripting within our Netsuite ERP system. It is unclear whether the long lead time was the fault of Arena or if it was a bad contractor. However, it was made plain AFTER the system was in place that there was no pre-built solution to handle the Arena to Netsuite connector.

Arena Solutions, A Great PLM
We entered all our data into Arena, uploaded all our BOM's, and everything went smoothly. It took a little time to get used to, but only because of the horrible PLM system we were converting from. We were able to transfer all our data and be up and running by the forecast we had set for ourselves. We've been extremely satisfied with our experience over the past few years.
September 21, 2018
Seamless and helpful
I'm fairly new to the company, I wasn't here when it was first introduced.
September 21, 2018
Arena serves our needs
With some basic knowledge of BOM structures, the implementation was easy.

Arena Review
Our rollout of Arena was complex and took about 10 months. The consultant who represented Arena was very professional and made the complexity less complex. We presented many challenges which he met head-on. He was always available for questions. The few times since I have requested assistance from the help desk have been productive.
September 21, 2018
Easy to use, customize-able, collaboration friendly
Yes implementation was easy and user friendly. One of the quickest I have ever seen. I would like the integration to other software(s) to be easier and not so costly, like how the adapter for SAP is 60,000.
September 21, 2018
Arena is great and the organization is easy to work with
I was not part of the implementation team as it was implemented before I joined the company. We are a start up so I would imagine there was not a lot of data to load only choices on how to use it and what that configuration would look like. I can't comment on any other aspects of this.

Arena, the solution to product lifecycle management and quality management systems
Arena Solutions provides support and services to ensure expectations are defined, establish a system build, and provide test validation support before go live. The team at Arena Solutions is extremely knowledgeable and great to work with.
