Hello all,
Our company is currently reevaluating CAD and PDM solutions. We are currently running ProE wildfire 2.0 and Intralink 3.4. We are trying to decide between solidworks/pdmworks and wildfire3.0/PDMLink. I am in the IT dept, but work closely with eng. department. They are leaning heavily toward Solidworks on the CAD side, and the logical choice for PDM would be PDMWorks Enterprise. However, we have been using PTC for a long time. From my outside-looking in view, it does seem that solidworks is where the industry is heading. However, I am skeptical about the PDM side and performance...seems like Windchill has the upper hand here . I've heard horror storis about performance and PDMworks (maybe was just the workgroup edition?). We have about 16 engineers and need to share info with users in (US-China) and other countries. Roughly 17,000 objects in our vault.
Any thoughts or experiences with both?
Thanks in advance!
