Fantastic PLM but expensive for large teams
Likeliness to Recommend
What differentiates PTC Arena from other similar products?
Ease of use and web based collaboration make it a winner for high performance development teams.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
Web based and intended for collaborative development of products.
What do you dislike most about this product?
The larger the team the more out-of-whack the pricing structure. Without floating seat licensing, larger companies will struggle to pay for the required number of seats and will go with a fixed annual contract from another vendor instead. Arena really needs to consider bulk-seat licensing and discounting that is more in line with other competitors. Additionally Arena should just get rid of pricing information since building a 2-way adapter (into ERP) is nearly impossible. Would be nice if pricing worked and an input adapter was easy to build/maintain, but this is not the reality.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
Easy to implement as a small team inside a larger company. Can effectively link to large-corporate ERP with a small scale adapter.
Pros
- Reliable
- Enables Productivity
- Trustworthy
- Respectful
Cons
- Less Generous
- Vendor's Interest First
- Less Friendly Negotiation
