Overall Satisfaction with Arena

Being utilized by 100 internal users by a hardware department and 150 supplier users.

Pros

  • Easy configuration.
  • Easy promote links between request and change.
  • Easy BOM views and APIs.
  • Easy to setup routings.
  • Arena Winter training was informative and helped users prepare.

Cons

  • In the item file upload the click and drag option is not available yet and this is tedious based on user's feedback.
  • BOM extended view. When the BOM gets pretty big it takes a longer time to refresh.
  • Basic reports should be readily provided off the shelf without running analytics of simple weekly data of the change turn around process and request processing.
  • Time to market
  • NPI process
  • Engineering development tool
  • Price
  • Product Features
  • Product Usability
The current UI of Arena is definitely an advantage.
Scalable and integration with ERP, MCAD, ECAD and other API is a plus for Arena.
