"We get terrific feedback from the give and take of the review process. Indeed partners have provided feedback that helped us avoid making unnecessary, confusing or costly changes."

"PLM is super integral for any product development company, especially hardware. I had used Arena before, and it was one of the top contenders from day one.”

“We are able to demonstrate RoHS compliance with Arena. Every audit by our certification body is accompanied throughout the entire audit by Arena, whether by using search results for the particular area under question or printouts from generated reports.”

"We chose Arena PLM for AWS GovCloud because it had a solid security infrastructure to help us meet regulatory requirements for aerospace and defense, while providing convenient access to our globally dispersed teams. We also liked the fact that we could run our QMS within Arena.”

"We appreciate the flexibility of Arena, allowing us to tailor it to support our current processes and gradually expand our usage over time. We also like that it scales to accommodate our continued growth.”

"Since implementing Arena, we no longer work in silos. Everyone now has complete visibility into issues or open items that impact production. Nothing slips through the cracks.”

"Since transitioning to Arena, we don’t need IT to maintain the system. It is easy to manage and configure according to our business requirements. We’re able to streamline our engineering change processes, and we no longer need biweekly meetings to manage approvals.”

"To be able to combine all of our separate development efforts into one thread where you can see the progress of the product—that was the missing piece from our puzzle.”

"To me, Arena was the right move, a fundamental choice because any company that manages complex products cannot live without PLM.”

"Arena allows you to easily configure the system but not to customize it. In my experience, customizing a system can be difficult and time-consuming. The configurability of Arena allows me to focus on critical work and ensures seamless product updates.”

"Arena was one of about 10 platforms we looked at, specifically how they handled change management, BOM control, training, and how other applications like ERP and CAD could be integrated.”

“Before the connection with Onshape, document and part number requests were slow and error prone.”

“Before we had a PLM system there were Google Drive files and a lot of sharing and confirming of drawings with suppliers through e-mail and WeChat. That’s fine if you’re a small team and not expanding your portfolio too much but when there’s real growth, keeping track of what’s truly …

"A PLM is something you need when you work with outsourced manufacturing. Having a single source of truth gives us a level of control to confidently track and identify the specs when we need to change a supplier, find an alternative part, or onboard a new supplier for a specific …
