Oracle Agile PLM Reviews

We use this solution for product collaboration. We also use it for PPM and PQM.

The solution is deployed on-premises.

There are 12,000 people who use this solution in my organization.

It's not scalable. It can't support BOM management if we have thousands of parts. That's one of the biggest limitations. Relationship management should support large data. 

The workflow engine also needs improvement. It should support complex workflows. There are things with patch management that should be better.

There are hundreds of other things that we logged with them but never got implemented.

The cloud version isn't very powerful, so it doesn't support parallel workflow. It just supports the serial flow.

The stability and technical support could also be improved.

I have been using this solution for about 24 years.

There are some on-and-off issues because we're using the older version. It's a locked version. It hasn't been opened for some time to find out exactly what the issue is. Stability-wise, I wouldn't rate it too high – maybe six out of ten.

It's not scalable.

I would rate technical support 3.5 out of 5. There's room for improvement. Oracle has moved their focus to the cloud version.

Initial setup wasn't bad. We didn't have any issues with it.

We had a big team, but we're moving it to cloud, so we have scaled down the team to just two. We have two technicians, a project manager, and five admins.

Considering the number of users, it's a small team. We have eight to ten people at one point, but we scaled it down to focus our energies on a new PLM. We're using a consulting firm for that.

The licensing policy isn't good. We had trouble with it. That's why we're looking at a new cloud-based solution.

We chose Siemens TeamCenter for the cloud version. We also had the PLM cloud version. We explored a few other solutions.

I would rate this solution six out of ten.

Oracle Agile PLM (Product Lifecycle Management) is used to effectively manage product lifecycles, collaborate across design, supply chain partners, accelerate new product introduction and manage compliance. It provides a comprehensive solution to efficiently centralize product data, streamline processes, and launch quality products faster.

Oracle PLM Product has helped with effectively managing the product lifecycle and to achieve strategic objectives, improve quality, shorter time-to-volume, and regulatory compliance. 

The software provides all of the tools the organization needs to efficiently and effectively implement the lifecycle process.

Oracle Agile PLM has many features and here I am listing few that are very useful for us.

• Multiple managed servers provide high availability at the service level and help to distribute the load.
• Multiple file manager support helps to resolve key performance issues with file download and upload.
• Enhanced user experience in the new versions.
• Administrative enhancements in the new versions.

The Oracle Agile PLM disaster recovery solution is complex, and there is a lot of manual work involved when switching to the DR site. I would expect better for the DR solution in future releases. 

It also needs improvement in application proactive monitoring and health check-up.

I have been using the solution for eight years.

In terms of the stability of this solution, I am impressed with the product especially with latest version.  

The scalability is good.

The service and support need improvement.

Positive

I have experience with Windchill PLM.

The initial setup is complex but manageable. 

The ROI is very good.

The price and licensing are good.

If you need a better product then you need to plan the budget accordingly.
