Siemens PLM Software, Teamcenter, is used across our entire organisation to manage the entire product lifecycle. Data is created by the designers and engineers, it is then made manufacturable by process engineers, and manufactured by operations. The entire process is done within the software suite and allows full traceability of the product, implemented from cradle to grave. Teamcenter does its job really well and ensures that a product of consistent quality is delivered to an end-user.
  • The software is really well suited for multi-site working due to the strong back-end and collaboration tools.
  • The software is highly configurable meaning that it can fit into most organisations existing processes by means of its configuration. (This is both a major strength and major weakness.
  • The software is built to accommodate multiple simultaneous users, all changing data at the same time, and all doing different things. The system has never crashed on me in this regard and always delivers what is expected.
  • It has too many features built into one software package. Whilst this may be considered an advantage to some, the lack of focus in the package means that there is no clear cut way to use it.
  • As mentioned in the "Pros" section, the configurability of the product is so great that it becomes an advantage. Whilst PLM is intended to enforce best practice in product design and management, the level of configurability means that companies are able to transfer their sub-standard practices into this world-class software and continue making the same mistakes as always.
  • The cost per seat to use it is very high. Whilst PLM is a great product to use, at this price, only enterprise-level customers can afford to use it.
Well suited for:
  • Enterprise companies who want to enforce a specific workflow to get products from concept to production;
  • Companies who have a large workforce that do not talk to each other in person but communicate product data between departments in the form of datapacks.
Not Well Suited for:
  • Companies and individuals who have very few products of which many are very simple. The cost is just not justified for these.
  • Companies without an IT department to manage the Teamcenter software (it is a lot of work and requires a full-time administrator).
  • + Siemens PLM Software, Teamcenter, has made it really easy to draw up datapacks that conform to a certain standard. These datapacks are reviewed by the right people and released for manufacture to the correct departments. The result is a product that lives up to design and quality expectations.
  • - The initial capital outlay for the product is astronomical when software, server upgrades, bandwidth, and human resources are considered. The ROI on this will be many years due to lost production time, initial costs, and the ongoing cost of training and mistakes.
  • - The software has resulted in a lot of confusion within the business. Many users have chosen not to use the software (although that is not allowed) because they feel they cannot deliver on the work if they do.
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.
I have never personally dealt with Siemens customer support, but the consultants who did the initial setup of Siemens PLM (Teamcenter) did a really great job in answering all of our support queries in record time. Many of the queries were directed back to Siemens and answers were given via the consultants; this process never took more than 24 hours and usually solved the problems we had.
I was not part of the evaluation team that decided to use Siemens PLM Software, and I have also not been exposed to many other PLM software packages.

I have previously used PTC Windchill PDM software which I found to be a lot easier to navigate, to use, and to perform tasks in. I would easily revert to Windchill to perform the functions needed, except, Windchill is built specifically to integrate with a different CAD package, Pro/Engineer Wildfire or Creo.

The Engineering Manager wanted to use the software to during our transition from 2D to 3D design. It would primarily be used in our department only at first, and by other departments later. It was very mature software, but at the time we wanted to install locally and what I was given was under powered, so I spent too much time arguing with the IT dept over getting more hardware. It solved all of our design problems in that it tracked EVERYTHING. The biggest problem was that it required a change in discipline by all our designers to track everything instead of using AutoCAD alone. Siemens PLM was great in that respect...
  • Tracks design data very thoroughly.
  • Making 3D models of our designs was a daunting change, but worthwhile.
  • The PLM tracking of old data was excellent.
  • The tracking of existing designs in template format was excellent.
  • Nothing
The biggest determination is the size and complexity of the typical 3D model. Does it require NX, or is Solid Edge good enough?
  • I left just as the implementation was getting really expanded, so I don't know firsthand. But, if it was accepted, it wasn't because of the software. The software turned out to be much better than expected.
Inventor wasn't mature enough. Solidworks was too small. Catia and Enovia was too confusing.
It can be configured any way you like.
GTAC services were excellent!
Yes
Many times over.
Once in a meeting, a manager responded with a negative comment about both support and social media... so during the meeting I texted to Twitter something like "@#!$ GTAC". When I got to my desk there were two voicemails waiting for me, one from the head of GTAC, and one from our support person at GTAC.
It depends on how easy the sysadmin has when customizing it. it can be as easy to use as you want.
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!

Currently, we are using Teamcenter and NX to allow for better CAD and CAD-BOM management. Engineering is the only department currently using the softwares, although Siemens and third-party developers provide many modules and add-ons to push the data stored in Teamcenter to the Shop Floor and throughout other parts of the organization. Teamcenter removes the headaches of storing CAD files on a local/network drive which can get very convuluted if not controlled correctly.
  • Inherent strengths (check-in/check-out, revision control, access control)
  • Integration with NX
  • Customization capabilities
  • Global Product Data Management
  • Expensive
  • Unreliable programming can cause unexpected crashes
  • Almost forces you to rely on Siemens consultants for customizations
NX is a good standalone CAD software. Teamcenter, however, should only be used by a company that is willing to put the time/effort/money into properly setting up the system. Otherwise it is more burdensome that it is an asset to the company.
  • Increased Engineering lead times for design work
  • Very expensive (Licensing and maintenance)
Weir Group has about 20 sites across the globe who use Teamcenter to share data remotely from site to site. This is an integral function of the software and really enhances engineering capabilities worldwide.
  • Item Creation
  • NX integration
  • Sharing Data amongst remote sites
Yes, but I don't use it
It is a bit buggy and the user interface is ok at best. The amount of features that are possible though with this software are endless.
