Arena is a tool that enables us to manage quality issues through a robust process. This ensures all key stakeholders sign off on each stage prior to progressing. We also use it for document management - drawings and product documents. The revision process ensures we know if the file is in draft form, pre-release or in production.

ENOVIA is a very robust Product Lifecycle Management platform. In our organization it helps in all phases of product development. It manages well product development data, processes, and collaboration and change control well across engineering, manufacturing, and supply chain teams. We are very satisfied with ENOVIA performance in our company (global).

We used Oracle PLM primarily for product governance and change management. I think it's great for what it is, but clearly originates for manufacturing-based organizations. It makes sense if your products are something like physical parts, components, or some kind of finished goods. It felt a little unnatural, but didn't hinder us from using Oracle in any way. It was superb when used for managing things like product documents, change approvals, things like that. It allowed team visibility for all the version history, timestamps for the approvals and all their information. This made internal audits pretty seamless.

I was a user of the platform for the oil industry; it was very versatile for the engineering project control process.

Ever since we implemented propel, we have had great support from the customer experience team. Not only they support with our issues, but also provide different solutions in timely manner. They also understand urgency when needed.
