Overall Satisfaction with Arena
Arena is being used across the whole organization. I mostly use Arena for item creation, bill of material management, and quality processes. The whole organization also uses Arena to sign off on quality training documents.
- Web-based: It's great being able to access Arena from any device with an internet connection.
- Searching: Searching is powerful and easy. I can find what I'm looking for very quickly.
- Bookmarks: Bookmarks are a great feature that lets you return to any tab with a single click.
- The newest update seems to be slower than before. Pages seem to take longer to load.
- Would love to see a feature where you can copy items from one BOM to another. This would save a lot of time.
- Organization of data: Arena is really a great way to organize data especially needed for the medical device industry.
- Product Features
- Product Usability
- Product Reputation
I was not specifically involved in the decision to purchase Arena, but the document control analyst in our organization had very good things to say about his past usage of the product.
The implementation process was fairly long. Mainly because most of our data was on a spreadsheet that had to be imported in Arena.
I think Arena is better than Agile because of the useful hints and tips each new page offers. The version of Agile I used did not offer any features like this.
