Overall Satisfaction with Arena

We use Arena for BOM, document, change, items, and compliance management. We use Arena across supply chain and in collaboration with our manufacturing and sourcing partners.
  • Providing a change control audit trail.
  • Flexible.
  • Ease of use
  • I would like to be able to export items from a change order directly from the change/items tab in the same manner that a bom can be exported.
  • I would like to be able to import items to a change order using a CSV file.
  • I would like to be able to view redline of changes for items from a change order, not just a BOM redline.
  • I would like more flexibility in defining search terms when searching for items. For example, I would like to be able to search for items where the effective date of the revision in production happened within a specific date range.
  • Arena reduced our overall change review/approval cycle time from 10 business days to 5 days when calculated at the top level of assembly.
  • Arena has reduced our implementation defect rate by 95%
  • Price
  • Product Features
  • Product Usability
Price
The team at Arena were fantastic in helping us migrate. We implemented on time, on budget, and they collaborated well with us in handling the few transition issues we did have.
Arena fit the size of our organization from perspective of cost and utilization.
Arena is well suited for BOM and change management. It is not well suited for broad enterprise "read access" at an affordable cost point.
