Overall Satisfaction with Arena PLM and QMS

Standard QMS for med device in production and in development. The top-level problem it addresses is document traceability. In detail, it helps with various nuances in up rev of docs, getting approval/auto reminders to approvers, etc. Version control is also good.
  • Current status of doc
  • Auto reminders for approvers
  • Reminders on training tasks
  • No built-in doc viewer
  • Difficult to compare current revs with previous revs at a glance
  • Difficult to find files if doc number is unknown
  • Product Features
While I do not have input on the purchase decision, this is what I value most. Quality is second to none for med device development

No

Did Arena PLM and QMS live up to sales and marketing promises?

I wasn't involved with the selection/purchase process

Did implementation of Arena PLM and QMS go as expected?

I wasn't involved with the implementation phase

Would you buy Arena PLM and QMS again?

Yes

Well suited: Reviewing test procedure. It references CAD models and other use documents with Arena numbers. The current/approved versions of the files can be easily pulled up and referenced.

Less appropriate: New coworker is being introduced to project. Arena is not a good tool to generally learn about projects despite storing many docs that would be useful.
