## Reviews

### "Arena in Manufacturing" — 5.0/5

### "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 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.

### "Locating files on ARENA" — 4.0/5

> **Daniel** | *September 16, 2024* | Medical Devices | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I've really liked using ARENA for a lot of the information we are able to store and use. I am able to access files and work instruction very easily and be able to efficiently do my job. The ease of use is what i have really liked the most.
> 
> **Cons**: While using the program i am not able to find key terms very easily. Because of this I have to track down part numbers and this eats away at the time I have to get my job complete. if there was an easier or more accurate way to find names of parts it would make my life as lot easier and allow me to do my job quicker.
> 
> Over all I have really liked using the software as it makes my job easier and allows me to be a lot more efficient. I am able to recall things quickly and get the information I require. As well the security measures that are implemented allow me to know that we will not lose or have unauthorized access to our systems info.
