"Great customizable Workflow"

What do you like best?

The ability to customize the software to our workflow that we need to fit our company path. The fact that we can create a similar look for completely different workflows is a blessing as well for smother transition from task to task.

What do you dislike?

If we do not tweak the layout often, sometimes it takes a bit of working with it to get the groove back. Like riding a bike, but a little longer re-learning curve.

Recommendations to others considering the product:

Any process that you need to track within your organization that needs to be tracked and used by one or multiple users.

What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?

We are using it for Internal process tracking, things like software updating, miles traveled reporting and other Internal tracking needs, expanding uses to include as many workflows as we can.

"Flexible and Powerful Cloud-Based PLM Tool"

What do you like best?

I like best that Autodesk PLM 360 is an easy-to-use and easy-to-administer PLM solution that is yet powerful and has all the benefits of the Cloud and the backing of a respected software company, Autodesk. The user interface is intuitive and consistent across a company's implementation. Administrators can self-study from the extensive online help guide and the many YouTube videos available, or can confidently maintain their system after a three-day training class. Autodesk PLM 360 has deep and broad capabilities for bills of materials, change management, and quality management; including BOM compare, configurable change order process with automated notifications, and linked non-conformance reports, corrective action / preventative action and change requests. Autodesk PLM 360 can be tailored to a business' needs and can additionally be integrated with other systems (ERP, CRM, PDM). This is all provided on a cloud platform, so no hardware, installation, or manual upgrades are required! Autodesk is quite responsive to their customers and engage with them via not only customer support but also general discussion forums, new idea forum, and user conferences and events.

What do you dislike?

I dislike that updates made in a development environment cannot be automatically ported to a production environment. There are alternate ways to do this, so for customers I have worked with it is not a huge issue.

Recommendations to others considering the product:

I would recommend others to take advantage of the 30-day free trial of Autodesk PLM 360 to get a good feel for it. Also to keep in mind that most companies find anywhere from a small to large amount of JavaScript to be helpful to their implementations (w3schools.com/jsref/). Finally, to be thinking of where an integration with Autodesk PLM 360 could really benefit one's business--this is usually done with PLM Connect, Powered by Jitterbit (jitterbit.com/solutions/autodesk-integration/).

What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?

I have seen Autodesk PLM 360 solve problems from an uncontrolled BOM on a spreadsheet, to manual revisions for parts in an ancient ERP system, to lack of a consistent product lifecycle process. The benefits that are realized include: a single source of truth for the BOM, accessible by users from any device; properly controlled part revisions and therefore accurate data for manufacturing and suppliers; and a repeatable, documented, and approved process for product production and delivery. These benefits are attainable with a straightforward, pay-as-you-go subscription model.

"Autodesk PLM 360 Enables our Business to Gain Control our Development Workflows and Critical Data"

What do you like best?

The incredibly strong workflow and scripting engines allow us to cater the experience to our users in the way we best see fit. The workflow engine specifically allows us to create any electronic approval, notification, or work order based process that we'd like across all aspects of our business.

This product is constantly being upgraded, the product management and product development teams are always seeking user feedback and making upgrades and enhancements to the product.

What do you dislike?

There is room for improvement in the search and reporting capabilities but these are minor issues that we don't experience much pain from.

Recommendations to others considering the product:

This is an amazing product that let's you truly setup PLM the way your organization wants to use it. I'd recommend viewing some of the videos on the PLM360 YouTube channel to see how easy it is to setup and use, and contacting their sales team for a demo/trial.

What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?

I run the global product development group for our organization and we need to have a global view of our project pipeline and be able to share information across regions at any time of the day. This platform allows all of our global users to access the same data in realtime. It also allows us customize parts of the workflows based on any slight variations of the process from one region to the next. Aside from global visibility this is allowing us to bring many disparate systems into one, moving from network folders to a common linked core of information about the products and boms.

"Eficient way of capuring, storing and distributing company's data."

What do you like best?

1) The ability to accurately store information.

2) Being able to consistently create documentation under the company's standards.

3) Having this data available and easily retrieved across the entire corporation.

What do you dislike?

The lack of control for duplicate entries.

PLM will allow the user to create more than one record with the same keyword.

Unlike other applications, there is no filter to point out that there is already a current record available in the system with the same contents.

What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?

I am a documentation specialist. My job is to gather and document the company's data that is either stored under a different application or not readily available. The later being data that is used mainly by one person but that could benefit the rest of the team.

"PLM 360 is my favorite software to customize and integrate with"

What do you like best?

The workflow engine is the best I've ever worked with. You can model any process, use javascript to add tons of capability both inside and outside the system, and it is fast and intuitive to set up and to use.

What do you dislike?

It has room for improvement in the administrative tools for managing user metadata, controlling the dashboard and development flow from one plm tenant to another. None of these things are showstoppers and the product is flexible enough to allow many different possible workarounds.

Recommendations to others considering the product:

Get your hands dirty with the generous 30 day trial they offer, and engage with the PLM 360 product managers if possible. They are awesome and insightful.

What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?

PLM 360 has provided process consistency and control, accountability, speed, integrated and automated workflow, and visibility into the health of our programs and root causes of issues that is well beyond our expectations. It is used for all engineering activities and related program activities from start to finish. It is integrated with our other systems like Autodesk Vault to keep schedules and tasks in perfect alignment with the release of CAD data. We continue to enhance and add workspaces and features to our tenant since we went live over 2 years ago, providing additional benefit all the time.

"Agile and accessible anywhere - this system is like no other PLM out there"

What do you like best?

Before Autodesk PLM 360, you needed an army of consultants, millions of dollars and heavy infrastructure to have a PLM system that would work. Not anymore. The agility, flexibility and accessibility of PLM 360 is probably one of its biggest advantage. Small and medium businesses don't need to rely on spreadsheets to drive their product development / BOM and change management processes anymore! While you might need some help and coaching on PLM 360 to get started, you'll be able to deploy it within weeks and continuously improve and scale.

Autodesk PLM 360 is a young system and it is exciting to see how well it is evolving and how Autodesk is listening to the industry comments and requirements.

What do you dislike?

As mentioned above, PLM 360 is a young system, so it is still lacking a few functionality. However, I don't see this as a problem since I know how responsive the Autodesk team is. Actually, this is an opportunity for users and administrators from everywhere to make the system better. And being cloud-based, the enhancements and fixes are pushed seamlessly.

Recommendations to others considering the product:

Use the trial, play with it and when you're ready, partner up with a PLM 360 Solution Advisor to get a good start. Prioritize your needs - it's easy to get excited and to want to do everything at once! Just take a few steps back, plan and execute phase by phase.

What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?

No more looking around to find information - PLM 360 is one single place where you'll find everything.

"An amazing system with unlimited possibilities"

What do you like best?

One of the best systems I have ever implemented, it is dynamic and adaptable while maintaining a high level of control and audibility to our teams. We've been able to grow exponentially while adding zero head count thanks to the power of PLM360.

What do you dislike?

The current versions' UI is old and outdated. However, its new release (which has already been privately shown) is much faster, so this is temporary.

Recommendations to others considering the product:

Start slow and think smart.

What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?

We are solving for a reliable way to command and control our product development. This has been solved for without adding any headcount.
