Has significantly improved 3D design workflows but support needs more consistency
As a reseller, I think the biggest advantage of Autodesk Fusion is its functionality, which is brilliant and offered at a really competitive price. Regarding the 360 simulation capability, it's very important for our customers, and it's important for customers to share that information with their suppliers and with customers.

Web workspace has modernized development workflows and provides secure 3D collaboration
Siemens PLM TeamCenter has many features and options, but from a cost perspective, the features I need do not always come with the default license cost. Siemens has its own costing model where dedicated modules such as Manufacturing Process Planner, Schedule Manager, Easy Plan, and Line Balancing are available, but these do not come with the default licensing model. Additionally, Siemens introduced AI features such as Copilot in Siemens PLM TeamCenter and predictive searching and predictive commands last year, but these do not come with the default licensing model and require separate licensing. Third-party integration support in Siemens PLM TeamCenter could be made easier. Currently, organizations develop customized logic to integrate third-party tools with Siemens PLM TeamCenter, and if an organization wants to integrate their own tool with Siemens PLM TeamCenter, they need to develop a customized solution. If Siemens could provide a generic integration solution, it would be easier for everyone to adopt and maintain. Additionally, while Siemens has moved to the ReactJS latest web technology for Active Workspace, there is room for improvement in the UI and performance from a user point of view. The UI and other related features can be improved to match the latest web technology platforms. While Siemens has improved over the years, many other web tools and web platforms have more user-friendly UIs and features, so there is still room for improvement.

Pros

"As a reseller, I think the biggest advantage of Autodesk Fusion is its functionality, which is brilliant and offered at a really competitive price."
"It has saved time and made our processes easier, with everything in one place and secure, and all the information needed to do the work is within our system, making it a game changer for sure."
"Siemens PLM TeamCenter has positively impacted my organization as it saves multiple costs."
"Simeons PLM TeamCenter has positively impacted my organization by supporting collaboration among design teams, the manufacturing group, and the buyer sourcing group located in different regions, enabling anyone to see the right data at the right time when it gets into Siemens PLM TeamCenter."
"Siemens PLM TeamCenter has positively impacted my organization by streamlining my design cycle or MPD cycle, making it my single source of truth where users can find any item, trace back to designs, and significantly simplify the new product development process that would otherwise be very challenging with manual work."
"In my current company, which was a startup at that time, Siemens PLM TeamCenter plays a vital role in maintaining all of the engineering manufacturing data, which we were manually keeping in Excel."
"Siemens PLM TeamCenter has been my favorite product after using it for the last 10 years, with many excellent features such as managing documents, parts, and designs."
"Siemens PLM TeamCenter has positively impacted our organization by reducing the time of product launch, where initially a launch would take at least seven to eight years and now that system has reduced it to about three years, saving two to three years in just one product launch."
"The Active Workspace in Siemens PLM TeamCenter is the feature I have found most valuable because it provides a modern web-based interface instead of the old traditional RAC interface, requires less installation, and is more user-friendly, which will be attractive for users and developers who want to work on the latest technology."
 

Cons

"The technical support from partners is great, but if Autodesk Fusion is doing it, the support is not satisfactory."

"I experienced outages with Siemens PLM TeamCenter just last month, which lasted three days, so it has been quite sluggish at times."
"In daily operations, while Siemens PLM TeamCenter is an extremely powerful tool, challenges regarding user experience arise, especially in large, complex programs involving multiple vendors."
"An area where Siemens PLM TeamCenter can be improved is in security functions."
"Siemens PLM TeamCenter can be improved in that it is not a beginner-friendly software."
"For improvement of Siemens PLM TeamCenter, we can add something. For example, there are patches that come, and we have raised some enhancement requests."
"The biggest issue I have is how it locks resources."
