Aras Innovator Reviews & Product Details

We use aras innovator for proto, mass production drawings/CAD/BOM management. I like it's featues such as drawings comparison, BOM explosion/implosion, availability of all files extension (like .stp, drw, pdf etc) It manages engineering changes, drawing issue records very well. Separate options are available for the management of internal & customer/vendor drawings. It integrates with NX CAD. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Although I like all the features but this is very very slow. A very high-speed internet is required to work properly. Sometimes even in a fast connection it works too slow. In some area, it needs improvement like when we extract a list of engineering changes, we can't import the list to Excel. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find Aras Innovator to be great collaboration software, which allows me and my team to work efficiently both locally and across regions. The parts design and management features, along with serviceability and seamless integration with other applications, are particularly useful. I appreciate the great support team that makes it a win-win for us. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find the migration process from other software to Aras Innovator very difficult and lengthy. It's quite a challenge to set up initially. Additionally, the pricing is quite expensive, and reducing it a bit would be beneficial. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The setup process is straightforward, and the interface is highly intuitive. Composable applications that support the entire lifecycle make the platform a strong enabler of digital transformation (indeed, the 3 DTs: Digital Transformation, Digital Thread, and Digital Twin), empowering organizations to accelerate the NPDI process.

Aras Innovator features a broad set of functionality that is easy to configure and adapt to your particular needs. It is also astonishingly ease to use Configurable Web Services (CWS) and the recently announced Innovator Edge to build interfaces to nearly any other application and enable robust, continuous digital threads to power your innovation efforts. Integrations are easy and straightforward. It is easy to use and rapidly becomes a daily assistant for performing product development. Implementation tends to go faster and with more ease than other legacy platforms because of the extreme flexibility of the data model. Lastly, they have a proactive support organization that makes the customer feel valued - they support this also via live events like the annual ACE conference where the entire technical organization is present to answer questions and address concerns. The strengths of Aras Innovator include its flexibility and openness but also the sense of Community they foster. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The backend is still based on somewhat dated Windows-based UX components, but the learning curve is not steep and the flexibility and openness more than makes up for this. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
