Compared to the homepage clutter from Agile PLM, the Arena layout was easily navigable with help and info tabs on most options to provide additional context. > > **Cons**: The search function in Arena defaults to the first world-specific search and doesn't appear to have an option to search under "all" like in Agile. If the wrong world was selected (ex. searching for an item part\# while "change requests" was selected), no search results would be found and a new user might find it confusing. > > Some very minor roadblocks while familiarizing with the search function but overall pleasant to work with. User interface was much more accessible and organized compared with Agile PLM and provides helpful context on functions. ----- ### "ARENA PLM PARTNERSHIP AND TEAMWORK" — 5.0/5 > **Normand** | *September 23, 2024* | Utilities | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: That it is cloud based and that there are regular updates that address user inputs. > > **Cons**: Some of the search tools are not as intuitive as other applications and create some user frustrations. > > For the past 17 or so years, ARENA has been a key supplier and partner to our organisation. It permitted us to integrate many product lines from purchased business units, very efficiently and within tight time constraints. ----- ### "Arena in Manufacturing" — 5.0/5 > **Jonathan** | *September 23, 2024* | Medical Devices | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Revision history and search capabilities. Available reporting works well for data extraction and offline analysis (Power BI). > > **Cons**: Reporting does not have some key fields available to users. > > Good, we use for BOM, Chane Management and document archives. Researching Quality World for expansion ----- ### "Arena PLM a perfect solution." — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *September 12, 2024* | Biotechnology | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: It is a great single source of truth for our products that links into our eQMS system without the need to build out complex software in our other systems. > > **Cons**: Integration options. When we reviewed the integration options with our operational systems(ERP,CRM) there were not a lot of turnkey options. We would then have to build out and maintain these on our own. > > It has been very positive. Arena PLM makes product management easy. ----- ### "Review from an engineering user" — 4.0/5 > **joe** | *June 4, 2026* | Medical Devices | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: Arena is a useful document control/management tool with a straightforward training module system. As an engineer who uses the Change Control, Items, and Project modules, Arena has a decent search interface with an evolving user interface. > > **Cons**: The usability of Arena is decent, but it's seemingly two steps forward, one step backwards. They're as likely to break a useful feature as to resolve an existing headache, but they're trending towards an ever more useful product. > > Arena is a decent product with an evolving user interface. They do listen, so be sure to send them comments/suggestions. ----- Page: 1 / 6\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.ca/software/6101/arena-plm?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.ca/software/6101/arena-plm) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | ja | | | ko | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pl | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | | sv | | ----- ## Structured Data
