From start to finish, our Sales then Implementation Engineer, and customer Success Rep have been A.

Overall the ARENA PLM System is very user friendly and a very powerful tool.

My experience with Arena has been fantastic so far. They aim to please and are improving the product all the time.

With so many assignments and tasks it is hard to keep track of them.

I am very impressed with Arena, it seems to be designed by people that understand Product Life Cycle Management, Quality Systems, Regulatory compliance.

Our ECO turn around time decreased, we were able to make changes to parts and various BOMs quicker and easier.

I like that I can search whatever product I need to understand and see all documentation tied to it. I also enjoy the traceability of said documentation for doing investigations for failure analysis.

It was difficult to get ahold of customer service and the communication coming from the Arena team was unclear. They were so difficult to work with.

There is no out of office function to pause training due dates for employees with an extended out of office.

Fully Customizable eQMS with great support and pricing.

Ability to compare BOM differences. Easy to track engineering changes/revisions.

As a person who has never used Arena, it was very easy to use and navigate with little training.

The BOM and Part system are great. It is easy to do ECOs and have Arena integrate with ERP systems such as SAP.

I have used MasterControl and when I have to change training due dates in Arena, there is no option to include a comment when I have to change a user's training due date.

There are a couple of feature enhancements that I've been waiting for a while now, but I also recognize that. There are workarounds for those missing elements that are functional, just not pretty and.

Great PLM and BOM system that integrates well.

Overall the software has been very useful to our company and the customer service has been outstanding.

ARENA is a very user friendly platform and easy to navigate.

The change module, items module, and quality module, ease of use, and customer service at ARENA.

Quality module is the most like function what i used. Like the nonconforming material control connect with CAPA, and easily to update the layout.

A team that no longer is with the company made a number of decisions that ended up causing a lot of trouble (for me specifically, as the admin/quality rep) in the future.

The ease with which you find all the documents and the way of navigating.

What I liked most about Monday is that it is super user friendly. Synchs to user emails to ensure messages/updates are received.

It has a beautiful UI which is user-friendly. I love the timeline view and the integration center is amazing and user friendly.

I love the concept and it's a great way to organize a team and get everyone on the same page and constantly aware of progress.

The tool strikes a good balance between features and ease of use, and provides options to integrate with other apps.

Customer support is also super friendly and very responsive.

Monday.com is fun to use and also helpful. Using Monday.com to help with recruiting organization and visibility has been great.

It also is very affordable, and works great a desktop computer and your phone. They also have great customer service when getting back to you.

It seemed like the ability to invite people to join and then communicate with them was extremely easy.

They work with you, great customer service. Good company good product, Woo hoo.

Easy to use, easy to read, very configurable, allows good collaboration, good notifications, good visualization of projects.

Actually it is best for the small size of projects and teams. If you have more users than its cost is high.

Solid project management platform, great customer service.

There are 2 main advantages about monday: Pricing and easy to use. They have different types of monthly plan that could adapt to any organization.

It wasn't bad, but definitely more complex than what we needed.

It's a great tool and meet majority of our needs for now. We are a growing company and Monday.com is an evolving product, so far growing with us, which is very nice.

The only downside I have encountered was probably use error, wherein I set up 2 logins by accident.

Positive experience, good sales team and good pricing.

My team hates it, they find it confusing; I disagree. They do not like the layout and find it confusing to navigate through.

Its a very good application, the target of this app accomplish every thing, setting tasks setting reminders works like a charm.

The Monday.com platform is excellent in these areas, so for me it seems like an excellent choice.

Monday.com is user friendly and helps to keep our team on the task at hand. I like being able to assign teammates to the assignments with a due date is very helpful to keep our week productive.

It is good to be able to integrate it to third party platforms whenever we want, and have greater control of accessibility to each project.

When you're starting a business you have so many monthly software charges to pay for.

I also love that you can integrate it with different platforms like AirTable and Slack, which is super helpful.

Monday.com is indeed a blessing for me as it enables me to enhance much of my working abilities in best possible manners.

User friendly and provides a great level of control for managers and supervisors. The progress tracking is also a great reduction in time for managers.

It allows you to invite others and share timelines with them. It is very helpful to stay organized and share progress with free viewers.

They say things bad about being used by micro-managing leaders/bosses, but I dont see that as an issue at all.

I also like the quick links, recent and saved searches options all resulting in less time consumption and more output. This software has a lot of flexibility and helps in better output for sure.

Monday has been a godsend in this time where effective communication is extremely needed. Customer service is quick to work on issues quickly and in a friendly way.

Monday.com's practices are an invasion of privacy and spam.

I like it's clean, simple design. It is very easy to navigate and work with, which is important for a task management system that you will likely be using every single day.

It's really difficult to consider anything I loathed in slack. It generally appears to figure, it doesn't have the conveyance issues Teams do.

If you have the money to invest in a great project-management tool, then monday.com is for you.

I loved monday.com's seamless ability to allow us to manage our projects and our team members. Our workflow has been completely transformed due to the cleverly designed apt features monday.com offers.
