Overall Satisfaction with Arena PLM and QMS
BOM management and issuing ECOs. Helps to easily manage complex BOMs.
Pros
- Import files makes it easier to create/update several BOM changes across many part numbers.
- Easy to search to find ECOs and documents stored in the system.
Cons
- Unable to edit/update BOM on previous revisions of part number.
- The sourcing and supplier access is confusing. Difficult for companies that are approved suppliers to see part number.
- Faster time to market to release complex BOM configurations of over 200 products.
- Easier to find and manage documents.
- Price
We are a small business, so Arena was attractive since it had a lower cost versus other PLM services.
Agile seems easier to use than Arena.
