Software to enable flexibility in your product

5.0 2 years ago

Pros:

If you want to create and govern modular product architecture, this software is a must. It guides you how to create the modular architecture. Palma connects things together and you can see how decisions impact to the complete picture.

Cons:

Actually very hard to think what would should be improved. In some tools responsiveness could be improved even further and that is also done.

Everything you need for manage your portfolio in just one place: PALMA

5.0 2 years ago

Comments: Reduces a lot of time managing other activities like the creation of product structures and virtual assemblies.

Pros:

It's really easy to use, you need training and support but once you are there, it's easy, everything is connected inside PALMA, the configuration logic is really helpful, PALMA can be integrated with other softwares, here we have different ways to see your data, for product planning, for engineering, etc..

Cons:

We cannot manage technical solutions in the full product variant structure and maybe a mix between CT and PCM could be useful

Provides model overview & efficient data management in a user friendly way

4.0 2 years ago

Comments: Management of product configurator data, structure and part of the configurator logic

Pros:

Overview and understanding of impact when doing changes. Efficient data management in a multi-editor environment. User friendliness

Cons:

Our experience of the system performance is that it is too slow. There can many reasons for this with a web application, still it affects the user experience in a negative way.

Great for managing a modular architecture

5.0 2 years ago

Pros:

Excellent tool for defining and managing a modular architecture. The highest value comes from the way the tool creates connections, rules and traceability that are often difficult using traditional tools.

Cons:

The tool itself is not intuitive to use, so training is a must. But once training is complete this tool is excellent for managing a modular architecture.
