From sending the e-mail to solution took about 5 minutes. It wasn't a checklist of questions that would take me 20 minutes to go through including resetting all global settings. Having fixed this so quickly, I now have time to write a review.Added niche bonus, but you don't need separate licenses for each web viewer. This is really important to us.Between DDM, their excellent support and the great admin internally I've got software that's infinitely easier to use than anything I've seen before. > > **Cons**: Description of 'folders' as containers for moving work is confusing as that name already means something else to lots of people. > > Excellent. ----- ### "Great document management software." — 5.0/5 > **Randall** | *21 April 2021* | Mechanical or Industrial Engineering | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Ease of configuration and implementation. Ease of use and vendor is outstanding in service. > > **Cons**: Administration needs improvement but vendor is working on suggested enhancements. > > Excellent implementation and great vendor team. ----- ### "DDM Nightmare" — 1.0/5 > **Diego** | *18 March 2021* | Industrial Automation | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: I liked nothing about this software. From the user interface to customer service, this software continuously broke my Solidworks. > > **Cons**: In a simple sentence, this software does not work. First, their customer service had us wait two weeks after we paid to give us any training help. Support was in the order of days and per their own schedule. Questions were often overlooked or plainly ignored. On the technical side, this software made my Soliworks crash all the time. It changed the fonts of my drawings and some SWs options stopped being available. Suddenly, it would crash and I would lose my work in progress. There were three user interfaces that were a nightmare to use, besides looking dull. Their web app also does not work. We stopped using this low quality product after our customer could not open our files on the web app and my expensive engineering team lost weeks worth of work and productivity because of a bad decision we made when trying this. > > Horrible. Miserable. Depressing. In a simple sentence, this software does not work. First, their customer service had us wait two weeks after we paid to give us any training help.

It is really good software if everyone uses it has relatively good computer literacy. > > **Cons**: It was difficult to configure compared to alternatives, and the software is not easy to use for someone who is unfamiliar with computers. > > DDM was originally purchased for our design team, which thinking back is the ideal use (because designers tend to be a lot more computer literate than other staff). When hearing about DDM and its abilities, the business decided to use DDM more widely - Such as for use of control of documentation (procedures etc.). The team spent weeks configuring the system to manage aspects of Quality, Compliance, Design, H\&S, and the team felt the functionality was perfect. Sadly when rolling out to the wider team, including staff who were less computer literate, it was evident that the system was not very intuitive. The launch of DDM didn't really happen as planned, and it has since been limited to the use of the design team. Quality, Compliance and H\&S have now invested in an alternative system, as the business felt that DDM was not appropriate to be used as an eQMS. ----- ### "CSI Design Data Manager" — 5.0/5 > **Ioan** | *17 July 2019* | Furniture | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Flexibility, stability, intuitive, easy to maintain. There is no need to have someone dedicated for maintaining. Out of the box multi-CAD: Creo, SolidWorks, SolidEdge, Inventor, IronCAD, AutoCAD all in one CAD license. Web based interface which allows suppliers/customers to directly and securely access assigned data. Very prompt and professional technical support. > > **Cons**: Legacy data migration: very large drawing databases require time and manpower to migrate in DDM. > > The goal was to keep tight control of the drawings, seamlessly revision management, easy access to the database inside and outside the company. Having experience with other PLM/PDM systems I could say that DDM exceeded my expectations. ----- Page: 1 / 2\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.in/software/162728/ddm?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.in/software/162728/ddm) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | it | | ----- ## Structured Data
