Kapil Raikar - PeerSpot reviewer
Strong ability to customize, but require improvements to their BOM configuration
In the next release, I would like to see improvements to their BOM configuration. Aras would also benefit from better integration with other systems. The solution also needs better capabilities of the features it has. I am looking for it to have modeling, project planning, and MES capabilities as well as a built-in CAD tool.

Pricy and tough to integrate with some solutions, though it provided essential support for workflows
Some parts of the system are exclusive, so we can't work with them. There are many programs, but ones from other companies' systems are hard to maintain. Though they are from the same neutral format, we cannot implement them. PTC Windchill should improve that. Moreover, the product is expensive. The scalability, stability, and the initial setup should be improved.
