DriveWorks vs. Oracle Fusion Cloud PLM

DriveWorks is well suited for companies that could benefit from task automation. Anything that is repetitive is especially well suited, this can free a set of hands that can take on other tasks. Some situations where DriveWorks could not be beneficial are for small companies that have no need for automation if the workload does not require it.

Oracle Agile is great for companies that need a way to manage their products and work with various resources in their department from developers, to PMs and UX designers. This is a great way to keep track of feature requests and shippable versions of the product. Implementation and user friendlessness is an issue with this tool so companies that have the budget for consulting or for additional resources to help implement and maintain will need those resources as it is necessary. Training resources should also be factored in by any institution wishing to implement this.

• In some cases, the exchange of documentation between different users is not so automatic. Some operations still have to be done manually.
• All the variables and design parameters introduced by the user are not always visible and can be analyzed simultaneously. Sometimes changing the parameters related to the characteristics of the products is not so easy.
• DriveWorks allows access to a limited number of users at the same time. This issue sometimes makes the use of the software difficult for many of our students.

• The overview page is dated as this UI has been in the works for many years - a very 'engineering dashboard'
• Unable to copy, paste, and modify workflows . Need to create from scratch
• Ongoing support for Oracle Agile is in question with the movement to Cloud technologies

DriveWorks is the first software to configure custom products that I use. So I cannot make comparisons with other software right now. However, the difficulties encountered in allowing a large number of users to log in simultaneously will prompt me to look for another similar software. However, the features that enable the user to calculate the prices and costs of a product quickly, design the product in 2D and 3D, and manage e-commerce modes are factors that would push me to keep using DriveWorks.

In simple words Oracle Product Hub cloud is easy to set up and configure, we don't have to depend on anyone to set it up. It's that super easy. But to operate them we need to have proper training and needs to complete the essential certifications. But compared to others it's easy and will help in the business a lot more than others.

• DriveWorks helped us to increase the efficiency of our work thanks to the possibility to work remotely.
• The easy-to-understand graphical interface has allowed us to increase the interaction between our students.
• The impossibility of having many active users during the same session forced us to work at different times with multiple workgroups.

• The gains provided by Oracle agile PLM have manifested themselves mostly in terms of time, since by being able to better organize and schedule our work we have been able to expand our ROI significantly, gaining around 900% of the investment made monthly, which leaves our ROI at 9g.
