Overall Satisfaction with Arena
Being an engineering firm for Industrial Automation, we have different departments in the company such as Electrical, Mechanical, Controls & Robotics, Manufacturing, Quality, etc., and Arena is used by almost our entire organization. It is very useful and secure for maintaining our document database, change management, and quality management. This tool empowers us to maintain standardization across the company and being user-friendly it is easily accessible--anyone can pull up any documents or necessary information quickly. For a programmer like me, it's very handy to save configs for the drives, servos, scanners, etc. on Arena so that they are easily accessible across the company to anyone who needs to use them.
- Product management
- Project management
- Standardization
- I have struggled sometimes to search for items. Needs to implement better search functionality.
- BOM duplication is allowed which should not be the case as it needs to be handled smartly.
- The UI is sometimes misleading with multiple options. It can be revamped for a simple and better UI.
- Helping projects to execute faster, hence better customer satisfaction.
- Due to standardization of processes, manufacturing has been on schedule hence, improvements on lead time.
- New product development has been fairly easy to manage.

- Product Usability
The main reason I personally like Arena is for document management and easy to track change requests.
A very useful tool for manufacturing and designers as well.

Arena is a powerful tool and it helped us a lot in one of the new projects for version controlling and documents revision management as there are multiple changes happening in the as-built drawings, and handling them would have been a nightmare if it wasn't for Arena.
