User Input on Arena
What do you like best about the product?
I like seeing redline changes to updated documents and standard operating procedures. Also, typing in a document title or part number to print off copies is easy. I also like that if I need to be re trained on any documents or standard procedure documents then it's easy to navigate through the trainings.
What do you dislike about the product?
The one thing that is least helpful in Arena is the quantity of tabs it has. Even though there is an "about" subtab for each one, it still doesn't provide enough user guidance.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The instructional videos on how one can navigate through Arena is by far the best videos I've seen when I need help with anything on Arena.
Its been great for organizing out stuff!
What do you like best about the product?
We used it as the source of truth for all things production in our company and it does that well. i really enjoy the safeguards it puts in place for change orders.
What do you dislike about the product?
It tends to be a little cumbersome to learn. I had to get a few tutorials for colleagues to get started. The search function could use some work, it bit bothersome to select a catagory first but sort of makes sense.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
version control of part documentation, review of changes by the right people in the right workflows, parts to buy for supply chain in the company as well as orders.
Arena allows my company to have part hierarchy and organization of a complex design.
What do you like best about the product?
I like that we can add additional attributes that are important to our parts and our design. We can customize our workflow for our purposes. I also like how we can add syncing like from Altium to PLM which automates a lot of processes.
What do you dislike about the product?
It is difficult to search for parts, especially if you do not have the exact wording of how the part was entered into the system. Also, it would be nice if you could get a dropdown menu with suggestions instead of going into the search and spending time looking through all the possible options.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It is helping us to organize bill of materials and suppliers. It helps us to communicate revisions of parts with our suppliers and have seamless communication about what should be built and the parts and manufacturers of those parts.
Good tool for product attribute management

I would like to see a more robust user reporting tool. Not all fields are options in the reporting structure.

User Friendly and Intuitive
What do you like best about the product?
I appreciate that Arena strives to accept, anticipate, and encourage feedback from their users. It is helpful to have access to "file" archives even after files are replaced by other users as long as the original file related numerals aren't replaced or deleted.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish the search field for Arena was all-inclusive and you didn't have to search per "World". It's quite difficult to learn and get used to searching within "Worlds" when the majority of the population is used to using Google type search engines which are all-inclusive.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Per the majority of regulatory and governmental bodies, Arena fulfills an electronic documentation management system requirement as well as an audit trail for any auditing bodies.

Sandbox feature is helpful but takes getting used to
