Tracking the data and sharing file information like updating revision of files with permission for flexible engineering process. We can assign check-in and check-out to the file system for revision and corrections. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Due to central storage data management and the file storage backup issue raised so, we recommended high data storage hardware, and the initial cost is more expensive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Simple to learn and use, with little restrictions with regards to file type and size. It is an integral part of codesigning in Autodesk programs. Good integration in Inventor. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Simple configuration of common workflows and engineering document management tasks.
It is also API extensible when necessary. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It doesn't have easy bulk import and export capabilities available out of the box. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Fully integrated into Inventor. The "where used", "uses", and "copy design" are indispensable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Sales literature and blogs NEVER detail which configuration is required to accomplish the suggested features. They assume everybody has the highest configuration. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Traceability of cad files and models are easy Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Metadata is quite tedious, need to be careful with the characters/parameters and sometimes the application is very slow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Autodesk Vault is a great tool we use for collaborating with all our R&D departments across several location. Autodesk Vault is quite easy to use for end users, and it brings a big added value for our organization. In real-time the R&D stuff is able to share their drawings around the globe and to edit/upload/delete.. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
As administrator, the setup at the beginning was quite hard. It needed a stable infrastructure in order to deploy the server and database in the cloud. It took about one year to finish the deployment Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
