PDMWorks or Third Party?
PDMWorks or Third Party?
(OP)
Hi all, (thanks to your responses to my other post!)
Hey, I was curious if anyone would recommend NOT going with PDMWorks vs. a third party solution and why?
I'm of the opinion to just go with PDMWorks and haven't researched the other options because our reseller doesn't offer a third party solution and I'd prefer to have all the support come from one place. Also, I am assuming that the SolidWorks team can do a decent job of implementing a PDM.
However, before I ASSume too much... I'd like to know what you all think.
Thanks!

The downside is it's really a document management program for Solidworks rather than a true PDM. It can't handle data that doesn't have a file attached and it doesn't do multi site very well (no replication) either.
Even if your reseller doesn't offer other 3rd party PDMs, doesn't mean they won't. You could be the first.
