Senior Manager – Development, PD, Data Virtulization at a computer software company with 501-1,000 employees

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.

IT Product PLM Owner at a manufacturing company with 5,001-10,000 employees

Offers robust integrations and comprehensive document management

Siemens PLM TeamCenter has been my favorite product after using it for the last 10 years. It has many excellent features such as managing documents, parts, and designs. Regarding integration, I generally prefer to use OOTB integration, and Siemens PLM TeamCenter provides numerous OOTB integrations with CAD applications and SAP tools, making it a comprehensive end-to-end product. They have the TeamCenter Visualization tool, which is a separate tool with strong integration capabilities to help with markup and reviewing design models. The TC viewer is also an excellent product as a separate module of Siemens PLM TeamCenter.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"I love that Aras has a utility or tool that you can use online to extend Aras."

"The most valuable features are the ease of workflow configuration and customisation development."

"I like the Teamcenter Requirements Manager. It also has a structure manager where you create an engineering bill of materials and manufacturing process planning. There is something like service lifecycle management. That is where the maintenance data is stored. There are multiple modules. ALM Polarion is also a Siemens solution. It is a separate product, but it's part of the Siemens portfolio."

"The product's most valuable features are patch and data management."

"Siemens PLM TeamCenter has been my favorite product after using it for the last 10 years, with many excellent features such as managing documents, parts, and designs."

Cons

"Better Manufacturing BOM management would be valuable."

"Aras would also benefit from better integration with other systems."

"The product's web interface and setup process could be better."

"This solution works, but it has many issues. Smaller companies are coming up the cloud-based PLM solutions that may replace larger PLM companies like PTC or Siemens in the future. It has some performance problems, and the maintenance is too expensive. Recently, we completed a project, and it cost almost $6 million to upgrade."
