Overall Satisfaction with Arena
We use it to store all of the information for our parts database. It is used across the whole organization (software/hardware). It really helps keep everything synced and tracked. Whenever I need to look up specific information on a particular version of a PCBA, all the information is kept backed up on Arena.
- BOMS
- Revision History
- File Management
- Being able to multi-task with multiple Arena windows importing BOMs
- Speed of refreshing on search results
- Speed of importing data
- Time to market greatly improved
- Cost improved
- Ability to easily track components/parts improved
- Product Features
- Product Usability
- Positive Sales Experience with the Vendor
I think the product usability is the most important thing in any application, you want the users to intuitively know where everything is. A well designed application has all the features in all the places you expect them to be.
I believe that Arena was pretty easy to deploy. This was done before I was a part of the company, so it is hard to say.
