Application architect at a manufacturing company with 10,001+ employees
Allows us to do product collaboration, PPM, and PQM, but it isn't scalable and can't support BOM management if we have thousands of parts
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.

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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Multiple file manager support helps to resolve key performance issues with file download and upload."
"We use this solution for product collaboration, and we also use it for PPM and PQM."
"While I cannot disclose specific metrics due to confidentiality, I can share that our implementation of Siemens PLM TeamCenter has engendered significant returns, particularly in time savings."
"Siemens PLM TeamCenter has helped my teams and organization by making the process smoother and collaboration better."
"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."
"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 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 best features that Siemens PLM TeamCenter offers are that it is user-friendly and easily accessible."
"Siemens PLM TeamCenter has positively impacted my organization by always increasing its user-friendly interface, and we have both types of PLM and received positive feedback from TeamCenter."
"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."
 

Cons

"The Oracle Agile PLM disaster recovery solution is complex, and there is a lot of manual work involved when switching to the DR site."
"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."
"Siemens PLM TeamCenter is stable for a wide range of applications, but there are some integrations that are unstable, and Siemens is updating them."
"The overall dashboard looks a bit outdated, even with the latest updates that have been provided, so if improvements can be made in that area, it will be helpful for organizations."
"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."
"This solution works, but it has many issues. Smaller companies are coming up the cloud-based PLM solutions that may replace larger PLM companies like PTC or Siemens in the future. It has some performance problems, and the maintenance is too expensive. Recently, we completed a project, and it cost almost $6 million to upgrade."
"The complexity of the data model frustrates me the most regarding how Siemens PLM TeamCenter could be improved."
"I experienced outages with Siemens PLM TeamCenter just last month, which lasted three days, so it has been quite sluggish at times."
"One of the improvements I would suggest for Siemens PLM TeamCenter is making the interface easier to use."
"In my experience, Siemens PLM TeamCenter has faced many downtimes, and there were situations where we encountered errors in fetching data."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The licensing policy isn't good. We had trouble with it. That's why we're looking at a new cloud-based solution."
"It is costly for small businesses."
