Overall Satisfaction with Teamcenter

We use if for document management of our CAD data as well as distribution of the data. We have Multiple locations producing data and this give us one central location to store it and access it.

We also use it to manage or change request process. Before email was used to see where things were. Now we submit it to a workflow which guides the change request through the process
  • Managing documentation.
  • We find the workflows easy to follow.
  • We like how it lets us define our organization with people having multiple groups/roles.
  • The Active Workspace interface has taken away the user's ability to delete some data they create. This needs to be more user friendly.
  • Displaying workflow information for large workflows needs to improve the time it takes to display.
  • Documentation of configuration could be clearer.
  • It has improved our engineering change process to quickly and reliably get things done.
  • CAD documents can be retrieved quickly and efficiently via a computer and yet can still be printed out if need be. We have consumers of the data that require both.
  • Intergration to our Windows security eliminates the need for our people to keep track of multiple passwords, so admins are not always resetting forgotten passwords.
We have been on Teamcenter for over 20 years. Our upgrades take about two months of preparation, practice on our test systems and final upgrade of our production system. Production is typically done over a weekend.

To get a user access to Teamcenter takes only about thirty minutes to setup their access in install the client software in which we are using Software Center from Microsoft.
The more your landscape grows the more complex it can be to keep it current and in maintenance support. If you experience a problem, it can take some time to find the issue and correct it. It appears that as Teamcenter evolves, there are less support people that understand how it works so it is taking longer to resolve issues.
We have not yet considered another solution.

Do you think Teamcenter delivers good value for the price?

Not sure

Are you happy with Teamcenter's feature set?

Yes

Did Teamcenter live up to sales and marketing promises?

No

Did implementation of Teamcenter go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy Teamcenter again?

Yes

Teamcenter does really well on document management. We have many groups that put their data into Teamcenter and each group has control of the data's use.

We have many locations that need to be involved in the engineering change process. To coordinate all the locations with a single workflow can be a challenge in that the larger the workflow, the slower the interface is.
