| Process Method and Tool Developer at ZF Group NAO | 3.5 | I use PTC Windchill for CAD and document data management in product lifecycle management. Its close CAD and BOM connection is strong but limits flexibility. The user interface needs consistency, and integration with other tools requires improvement, particularly via OSLC. |
| Senior Manager at SWSTech | 2.5 | I use PTC Windchill for product data management because it integrates well with other technical solutions and supports Java development. However, it is expensive and could improve in scalability and stability. We previously used SmartTeam and are considering other alternatives. |
| Senior Mechanical Designer at a transportation company with 1,001-5,000 employees | 3.5 | Intralink brought much-needed version control and easy search. While our first version was perfect, later upgrades and external support were miserable. We advise proper PTC implementation, as better external sharing capabilities are needed. |
