CW
Process Method and Tool Developer at ZF Group NAO
Effective lifecycle management improves with strong version control and deep integration needs
There is room for improvement in implementing features fully. The user interface is inconsistent and outdated. It appears that different departments or locations have implemented features differently, leading to inconsistency. There is a significant need for improved integration, particularly using OSLC for connecting with other tools like SAP ERP or ALM tools. The version control, while consistent, lacks flexibility regarding changes in CAD data and requires manual intervention for BOM management analysis.
Purva - PeerSpot reviewer
Application development senior analyst at Accenture
AI-driven code analysis has reduced defects and now improves development team efficiency
Production issues have decreased significantly and helped our organization level up. The overall time required for code reviews and fixing bugs has decreased. Because this time went down, it helped the team focus more on code instead of worrying about bugs and code review times. I have seen that time is definitely saved and the tasks that four developers would do have been cut down to just two, as Uplevel already performs code reviews and helps with bug defect identification.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"I like how the product integrates with other technical solutions."
"Customer Service: PTC customer service was fantastic until our company got cheap during our chapter 11 phase and tried not paying the bills to PTC."
"The version control maintains consistent versions, which is beneficial."
"The strong point of Windchill is its close connection between the CAD structure and the bill of materials structure."
"Production issues have decreased significantly and helped our organization level up."
 

Cons

"I would not recommend doing business with PTC regardless of the product."
"There is room for improvement in implementing features fully."
"Some parts of the system are exclusive, so we can't work with them."
"Intralink needs to work better with various file formats. Also the publishing and viewing process needs to be simplified so that data can easily be shared outside of the CAD department."
"Uplevel has reached a level of near perfection. However, there are parts that can be improved, including integration with more tools, enhancement of AI-powered insights, and customizations that can be protected."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate PTC Windchill's pricing a seven out of ten since it is pricey."
