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. This helps to accelerate new product development (NPD) and new product introduction (NPI) by streamlining processes, automating review cycles, and reducing errors to increase profitability.

Arena - Good for small companies
No - does not allow a place for Implementation to be viewed clearly.

Arena Review
Easy to deploy, was ready on time, and we were very satisfied.
November 05, 2021
Arena has it all, or most of it anyway!
I was not present for implementation/initial deployment.
November 05, 2021
Works for us!
Although I was not part of the implementation team, I was counted on for feedback on it's usability. It took some time to port over the information from the old system, but it was worth effort. item history is easy to look up now, and the team is very satisficed with the results.

Arena Simplifies the Life of a Mechanical Engineer
The implementation was easy and met all of our expectations
November 02, 2021
Good Product, but a little clunky at times
Arena was implemented prior to my arrival at the company. In terms of implementation into our procedures, it has been fairly easy to complete new integrations. We have been slowly implementing new processes (design review, NCR). This has been fairly seamless, as the system is fairly flexible for fitting into our needs.

Arena PLM Review
Arena was deployed well. We have been using the system for years, and there wasn't a significant hitch in the initial onboarding process. There are questions that are raised when major UX changes are implemented, however.

Great Features Set, Lots of Capability!
Implementation was a smooth process.
October 18, 2021
Highly recommeneded
I have had a mixed bag of feelings when it comes to the implementation. In one company, it was easy and another as difficult. It is dependent on the project managers that you receive for the implementation. As always, validation of the system was a hassle. There was a lot of back and forth before we got the final product.

Arena PLM and QMS is great!
As far as I am aware, Arena [PLM and QMS] was implemented on time and easy to deploy. Our business adapted quickly to Arena [PLM and QMS] from the manual processes we had been using.

Be a QA gladiator with Arena!
Seems so.

Intuitive Product Life Cycle Tracking
I was not in charge of implementation, but as a user, I found it easy enough to work without official training. In case of the need for more training, I found enough resources provided by Arena.

Arena Provides Effective Product Management Software
Arena support during implementation was fantastic and the switch over from different software was nearly seamless. By the time the implementation team was ready to begin training our engineers and users, Arena was already set up with a sandbox to practice real-life scenarios with our product.

Arena - one of the easiest PLM systems out there!
Arena was extremely easy to deploy and implemented on time. The implementation team was a great help and is always there to support when needed. I also find that when sending suggestions for improvements or changes they are super quick to respond, which is great in a fast-paced industry like ours.

Good but needs improvement !
Building and deploying Arena could be less intuitive. Introductory courses could help set up the system in a better way. An online tutorial to set up Arena from scratch could be helpful. It took a bit more time because of lack of resources who were familiar with Arena. An online tutorial of the whole setup procedure would be very helpful in educating people about setting up Arena.
Arena was fairly quick and easy to implement. It was ordered with ample lead time to anticipate any possible delays, and it was implemented and deployed well within the allotted timeframe. The implementation team was very accessible and helpful in addressing any concerns we had in a timely manner. Most inquiries were answered by a member of the Arena team on the same day.

Arena Review
I was not a part of the initial implementation of Arena.

An AREnA with no conflict
I was not involved in the implementation of Arena in the beginning, but I do perform Arena Validation reviews. The process is so much easier on our side because Arena provides proper and detailed validation paperwork. Thank you!

Arena is a great, easy-to-use PLM system.
Our support at Arena was generally good. Our latest interaction was less positive.

Arena gets the job done with a nice, new UI
I was not part of the Arena implementation team, but Arena took a few months and a lot of tedious work to implement. Previously, document numbers were tracked in a Microsoft Access database. All of that information had to migrate to Arena over a period of time, which made it difficult to create new numbers. There were multiple training sessions held, but most people learned how to use it by navigating through it themselves. Our implementation team did a great job.
Since my starting with Symbotic, I caught on very quickly on how to use the tool. The recent upgrade made it even easier to function.

Excellent PLM with Excellent Customer Support
It was easy to deploy and train users on in a very short amount of time.

ARENA - best PLM system
Implementation was easy. Arena took care of everything - it was seamless. They came to our office and "held our hands" through the whole process. It could not have been any easier. We were very apprehensive - but it went so smoothly.
