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 FEEDBACK
It took three months to deploy. It was not very easy to deploy because I was trying to learn how to use Arena as I was deploying it, but we made it work. Arena was a learning process, and it was implemented on time. I was satisfied with my implementation team.

Arena: Complex to use
N/A for me

Quality
Yes, it was easy to deploy, we had some training sessions with our quality team to get used to the program, but it was easy to learn and navigate.

I love Arena!
Implementation was easy and pretty painless. It took us longer than expected but it was because we wanted to set it up the right way from the get go. Our implementation support was good.

Join the vast world of Arena
The implementation was fair. We had functional interactions with our Arena rep, and he helped with a lot of the questions and transferring of legacy data into the system. The implementation was delayed a bit, but not by a large amount. We were satisfied with the implementation team, and our two administrators who received the training gave positive reviews and have helped get the rest of the organization up to speed. The implementation team was very accommodating and accessible.

Excited to Implement
We are still in the implementation phase but it is going well so far.

Arena Review in 2020
I wasn't involved with the implementation of Arena. My company started using Arena around 4 years ago and I have only been here a little over 1 year. There are things I would have done differently and plan on doing so in the future when I have time. It seems like everyone involved has been happy.

Arena as a true PLM tool
The import from raw SAP was easy and the integration with the right team members on board made it seamless between Arena and in-house experts on our side.

Glad to hop onto Arena!
Yes, Arena was easy to deploy, and I am satisfied with the outcome.

Arena: Highly useful, if somewhat limited
Relatively easy to deploy and make changes as time goes on. Requires heavy ongoing oversight by several owners, though.

Arena from a daily user
I was not tasked with the implementation of Arena at our business, but I was given a seat in the service upon starting my position. I have used Arena since day one and have always been satisfied with the support Arena offers. During my time using Arena, it has been easy implementing new seats for other Arena users. No hassle.
I was not involved in the implementation process. However, I heard that the implementation was quite fast; not so much smooth.

PLM that you can tackle yourself!
Arena was quite easy to deploy. We did it entirely our-self over three months. The key was lots of upfront planning and digging into the details on what Arena could and could not do before jumping in. Overall we were quite satisfied with the deployment and would recommend it to others.
March 08, 2020
For most Quality processes and BOM management, Arena is the best in the arena; very willing to improve where necessary
I wan't there at that time. However, we did implement a copy of our workspace that was successful. We wish it was easier or even possible to copy more things, such as Quality templates! Quality processes from one workspace to another.

Quick Review
I came after the company had already implemented it.

How I see Arena as an admin..
The whole system is speedy. They have excellent customer service who answer all of my questions in a fast manner. I am pleased with Arena.

User-Friendly PLM
I was not part of implementation team but I did not noticed any frustration from our company side during implementation process.
March 07, 2020
In a changing world
We used Arena because our clients use it, and it is an effective way to follow all the requirements and changes.

Using Arena as part of a high demand medical company
I was not part of the implementation team, but I'm looking from the outside. The process was fairly smooth, with quick response to any changes or improvements still required, such as release strategies and decision trees.
Arena was implemented and in use for a long time before I was hired.

Arena is a good, solid choice
N/A. I was not here when deployed.
March 06, 2020
Project Managers Dream
I was not here during the implementation of Arena; I was here for the implementation of Project management. It was a quick, smooth transition from our old system. It saved time and helped link all changes together.

Gets the job done
I was not involved in implementation.
