Overall Satisfaction with Arena

We at Delphinus Medical Technologies, Inc. use Arena for product lifecycle purposes to keep track of all the documentation. It also helps us communicate with our manufacturing partners. I personally find it easy to use and had to go through minimal training. Reviewing and creating engineering changes is very convenient. I look forward to learning more about Arena and its usage.
  • Generating BOM of assemblies and subassemblies is very easy.
  • Easy to access the product history
  • Creating engineering changes is very convenient.
  • I'd be excited if it were possible to create documents in Arena.
  • I would like to see some tutorials on how SOLIDWORKS PDM can be used with Arena.
  • I would be excited if calendars could be integrated with Arena.
  • Arena has made a huge impact in keeping us prepared for audits.
  • Arena has had a huge impact on individual accountability.
  • Arena has impacted the way in which we go about NPD and NPDI.

Product features are very important for making decisions that impact the marketing of our product. We value customer satisfaction the most and believe in providing the best service to the customer. We strive to offer the customer something they are not getting in the existing market.
The implementation experience was smooth and did not cause any issues. Arena deployment was easy since we have the necessary infrastructure and the implementation was done as per the set schedule. I am very satisfied with the implementation team and have no complaints. We seldom have any issues in our daily usage of Arena.
Arena is more convenient than PTC Windchill. Arena is easier to use with SOLIDWORKS than PTC Windchill. Arena is easier to use when working with assemblies and subassemblies than PTC Windchill. Arena is easier to use when creating engineering change requests, handling reviews than PTC Windchill. Arena is easier to use when working with vendors than PTC Windchill.
I find Arena well suited in scenarios where I need to create new assemblies and subassemblies or if I need to modify the existing assemblies and subassemblies. I also find Arena well suited in scenarios where I need to create engineering change requests and review the requests created by others. I have not encountered scenarios where Arena is less appropriate.
