What do you dislike about the product?
- User interface could be improved
- Overall structure could be more intuitive
- Though I understand the intent is to be a customizable solution for different companies across the board and can be used in different ways, I wish it provided more guidance as to what is the "industry standard"

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Moving from a manual (paper) system to Arena has improved our overall implementation time for document control. We also have slowly streamlined our document approval process by conducting discussions via Arena instead of creating additional, unnecessary meetings.
We have implemented document control only, but expect to add more modules later.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
One hangup in our use is that we had some manual processes for document review that we were using before, and we decided to re-create those when we implemented Arena. These decisions have hindered our improvements by remaining as cumbersome as they had been when done manually.
I'd recommend to streamline your process first before attempting to re-create the same process within Arena system.

Helping startup companies have a centralized database for all documents that are required to manufacture the product and allowing their suppliers to access the correct documents at the same time. This eliminates email trails; did we give them the right version?

I would still like to have calculated attributes, i.e. LxWxH filed to be used for carton cubes.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Eliminated double entry of BOM's - one in a PLM system and another in an ERP system. Huge time savings.
Elimination of "email based" file communication to vendors.
Excellent version control of files.
Elimination of "email based" file communication to vendors.
Excellent version control of files.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Arena is an excellent tool for managing BOM data, Product data, Quality data and being able to find things related to a particular model number quickly. We have replaced excel BOM's with Arena BOM's and the change has been fantastic. We no longer email drawings back and forth - we insist vendors use Arena. I can recommend Arena as the best solution I know of for presenting controlled data to vendors to endure products are manufactured according to our design intent. I also love the fact that I can see who has viewed files and when they were viewed. very helpful!
