5.0

Joe: My name's Joe, I'm an engineering specialist in the aerospace industry, and I would rate CATIA a five out of five. In the past I've used Pro/Engineer and SOLIDWORKS before switching to CATIA. I liked the user interface of CATIA better than the previous products. We chose CATIA because of its widespread use in the aerospace industry, it's ease of use for inexperienced users, and it's powerful surface modeling. Onboarding CATIA is really a seamless process. The IT infrastructure is easy to get set up, and there's so much online training available for free. Getting users up to speed is a quick process. For those considering CATIA, I would recommend that in addition to considering the cost, think about what your end users use, what your colleagues use, what maybe your machine shop uses. CATIA is so widespread that while it is expensive, there could be tremendous savings and efficiencies by using it since everyone else does.

Joe M.: Hi. I'm Joe, I'm an aerospace engineer. I give Teamcenter a five out of five. For more reviews like this, click below. Before using Teamcenter, we used Solidworks. We were looking for a more integrated software solution. We chose Teamcenter because of its ability to integrate with our entire product life cycle. Teamcenter is a complicated software, for sure. You need to make sure that you're completely set up and ready to integrate with it and really understand everything that goes into it, get training and be ready to fully integrate the software. If you're going to start with Teamcenter, you need to be ready to integrate it into your PLM system. You need to understand every feature that the software has to offer and take advantage of training that's offered to integrate.
