Overall Satisfaction with Arena

We use it to manage product items, BOMs, AVL/AML, and contract manufacturing. We also use it in change order control and change requests, and adjusting file attachments with version control. It helps with Rohs and Compliance certifications and integration to go to ERP.

  • Making it unique for any industry with easy modifications.
  • Workflows for Changes.
  • Flexibility of data needs.
  • We need more specific controls for contract manufacturers.
  • Better ease of manufacturing with the contract manufacturer.
  • Access to compliance information and its BOM.
  • Price
  • Product Features
  • Product Usability
  • Product Reputation
  • Prior Experience with the Product
  • Vendor Reputation
  • Existing Relationship with the Vendor
  • Positive Sales Experience with the Vendor
Web base solution ease of access and personalizing per company industry.
I was hired to implement and set up new features for more functionality to manufacturing, quality, and time to bringing products to production.
Agile is a little more complicated.
I have yet to find issues, though some new versions of Arena have made it a little more complicated to revise information.
