    Aras PLM works for our company, yet I don't have experience with any other software system. The system does not refresh and update quickly. Often times users need to force a refresh or logout and logon to verify changes and updates. The Lock and Unlock feature needs getting used to.

    The software is excellent for checking UK limited company accounts, charities and LLPs. The software is cloud based which is a large improvement on our previous, server based, software. The team find the software easy to access and to use. As such, I would recommend this product to a colleague

    Cons
    Aras Corporation
    • Aras PLM uses terms and labels that can be confusing like Subsystem / Subsystem Version, Project Record Number (PRN). Companies need to understand these terms and develop business processes to set user standards.
    • I personally use Aras PLM to manage information technology project documents. In my opinion, Aras PLM is more geared to product and engineering. I would like to see a general project management Aras PLM version with terms and labels that I am familiar with.
    • The description field should be made required. Many of our engineers have created records and left that blank because it was not required. This would help with the context or background of each record.

    We have rated Ideagen Disclose's overall usability as a level eight. The reason for this is the software has many excellent points such as the fact it is cloud based, easy to use, easy to understand and ensures we are confident of our client's statutory accounts being technically correct. In saying that, there is room for improvement in areas such as integration with other softwares that we use which would save the manual rekeying of data

    Our company developed numerous IBM Lotus Notes databases to perform document control. Aras PLM is the better choice to IBM Notes databases and home grown databases.
