Pros

“I mainly use it for change orders, ECNs, drawing requests, and BOM management, and it helps keep everything organized and supports good team collaboration.”
AG

Aakarsh G.

Mechanical Engineer

“Another feature I appreciated was the email notification system — it kept stakeholders informed about approvals, changes, and tasks in real time, helping teams stay aligned and avoid delays.”
SM

Sainived M.

Mechanical Design Engineer I

“Its robust document management capabilities automate version control for engineering change orders (ECOs), quality documentation, and compliance records.”
VM

Vittal M.

Project Manager

Pros

“The output for the family tree needs improvement, more like a GUI.”

Cons

“I noticed that integrations with other enterprise systems can require extra setup effort, and some features may feel expensive as teams scale or need additional functionality. While email notifications are useful, they can sometimes become overwhelming without careful configuration.”
SM

Sainived M.

Mechanical Design Engineer I

“Lack of a complete document lifecycle management capability; i.e., from draft through review to approval.”
DM

David M.

Sr. Dir., Quality Assurance and Regulatory Affairs

“I know of no way to make changes/corrections for typos or spelling errors except by item by item.”
