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.

Sometimes the emails get lost in spam or are hard to find so people can miss updates. I wish it has a desktop notifications.

Actually I do not have any complaints about the software, it has work greatly. Maybe the only problem would be that you need internet connection.

Trello has lend a great helping hand in organizing my projects and improves my productivity in then professional environment.

I found the software user friendly and I enjoyed the responsive design and easy to understand pricing system. I also liked the familiar Kanban board design.

I liked the ease of use, the interactivity, and the great features that it has, even in the free version.

While you can utilize board histories to access lost cards, I found that too often some of our cards were inadvertently deleted by users.

Everyone in the company can see what is going on and what they need to do, and no information is lost.

Fantastic on mobile which is a brilliant plus especially when on-the-go. Reasonably priced if you want to upgrade to the paid version.

The seamless integration of features. It's so easy to switch between boards, clearly see all projects, and the timeline of all upcoming deadlines thanks to the wonderful (and rare) calendar feature.

I am able to help my Clients keep track of the candidates I have recruited for them on a very user friendly platform and they are always pleased.

The cost to benefit of Trello is competitive, The way it helps boost efficiency and helps streamline communication is fantastic.

For a free option, it's fantastic and I highly recommend it for project management on a budget.

I want full functionally for free. I realize how ridiculous that is, but if pressed for a complaint, that's the worst I can come up with.

Very fun and playful feel to it. Love the backgrounds and the ease of dragging from one card to another.

I love the layout, it's the perfect project and task management program. I take advantage of their referral program so I am on the free plan.

I love being able to use this to organize my notes through my phone. Super user friendly and I love that too.

Second beatifull feature is butler that help to create quick button like complete etc. This is an awesome and very effective for team meeting update as anyone from them and update.

Availability of templates shared by community. The tool is so popular that you can get easily get the template if you don't want to start from the scratch.

I love how user friendly it is, super simple to understand and get around. I love that i5 helps organize my tasks.

I wish more of the aesthetic features were not restricted to those who pay a subscription. But that is a very minor complaint.

I did not find a serious con that made me dislike this product. The only negative side I can think of is that, given its structure, it may be hard to envision it as a calendar.

For such a helpful tool, it is pretty simple to navigate. The interface is clean and user friendly for instance there a templates included to help guide users who may not know where to start.

The title says it all, if you like to be organized then this is fantastic software. After using it for a long time I realized that I do NOT like to be organized.

Because the text was automatically all highlighted when clicking on the box, I have accidentally deleted texts from description boxes before and was unable to recover it.

What I like most about Trello is the ability to neatly lay out tasks and share those tasks with other users that have an interest in the progress or users that will also be working on the tasks.

Great YouTube community. I love that it integrates with Gmail.

I like the fact that it integrates with other tools we use, and this is amazing for me because I don't have to do a lot of manual work.

I love that each team member can be assigned tasks and the whole team can see where everyone is at with their specific tasks. I love the ease of collaboration.

Very good and easy to use tool with very good integration with a popular set of web-based apps.

Very good to keep track of task with team members. Love the way the app is very stable and has many useful functions.

I love the design and the usefulness of every single feature. It helps me organize all my tasks and projects and keeps me super productive.

Trello helps us share our construction schedule with our clients in a fun and visually appealing presentation.

This has been a lifesaver in helping to define our project management structure and strategy. It is really a top notch product with a top notch customer service team.

I love that there is so much free with Trello, I also like the flexibility to set trello up however you want to, it is very easy to use.

Overall I'm super satisfied to have come across a tool like this one as it's functions are perfect for my job.

I love that it is easy to use, colorful, shareable and free. And that I can integrate it with other tools, like Slack.

The software is really easy to use and has very good customer support. We really like it for our company as a great collaborative tool.
