What PDM and CAD software(s) do you use? SolidWorks with PDM Pro What is good about your PDM? Highly Customizable (Workflows, Rev Schemes) What is bad about your PDM? Old Technology (Overhead), SolidWorks does not know of the existence of PDM so references are not robust What is the weird stuff abou...

I believe it's MongoDB

There are also advance tools for backend integrations with other systems/and services in your organization, we are exploring what we can do with Splunk.

I would be surprised if any SaaS or Paas offered "floating" licenses in that way. If one would do it I can see them having a significant marketing advantage over the popular predominant model of "role" licensing. We checked into the 3DX licensing model, as much as one can, sever...

So you are saying that a customer company can purchase, say 10 seats, and have 15 users where any 10 of the 15 users can be using the product/service at a time? The licensing doesn't care what the username or profile name is, if the user is associated with the account that has 10 licenses and not a...

I thought this needed copied in bold and larger font. This is not true, the Enterprise level environment can be tailored or negotiated if that makes more sense. Both you and Onshape have full visibility of usage/activity in the analytics, so if a 1:1 is not a realistic plan for your company, it is ...

"Can I access my previous data with the free account if I drop maintenance? Onshape cost is per user right? I have 150 users sharing 55 floating licenses. Assuming $1500 per license, Onshape = $225,000, SolidWorks = $82,500" Enterprise environment can be tailored, is not a straight forwar...

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but in that situation aren't your files still being held hostage? If I understand you correctly, if you want to change platforms and stop paying the subscription you still can't access them. You well still have access to export your files, just not modify/create data.

I can guarantee in a larger environment they would break something. An automatic update that I'm not able to test in our environment which is heavily automated would cripple our business. I'm required to have a rollback plan in case things go south. How do I do that with Onshape? They would have to...

Short answer is, PTC identified that there was no path forward for Creo to enable cloud collaboration, which is became the larger portion of the market. They determined that acquiring a platform like Onshape was more effective than starting several years after the competitions (Fusion 360, SW 3DX an...

I'm not sure how to process this. Most know very well why many places with lots of users avoid new releases, may stay several years behind and/or wait until SP5 is out or even SP1 of the next version before updating. It's been suggested it is better for these customers to trust the same company to ...

The think with Onshape is that it's actually a service. Don't think of it of just a CAD Tool, because it's not. Imagine what you pay for your SW VAR but on steroids; Onshape: manages your servers, performs your installs, upgrades, answers your questions, provides training, logs your issues... The CA...

Does anybody have prices for different PDM systems for a comparison? I hate that they make it so hard to get a somewhat accurate price comparison on everything... Teamcenter? SolidWorks PDM? IronCAD DDM? Autodesk Vault? Windchill (that's for Creo, right?) Onshape? Is there a 'cross platform' PDM sy...
