Before choosing a PLM solution, analyzing reviews from other users helps you better understand the strengths and limitations of each option on the market. However, unlike local businesses, it’s not always easy to find PLM software reviews in just a few clicks. So, where can you uncover them? Find out in this article.
The first insights usually come from the software vendor’s website.
Many vendors publish case studies, customer testimonials, or white papers showing how their clients use the solution. These official materials highlight the context (industry sector, number of users/sites...) and are designed to emphasize benefits like data management time savings, better traceability, or harmonized processes across sites.
However, because these materials come directly from vendors, they tend to highlight only the positive aspects without discussing potential challenges.
To balance this perspective, we highly recommend checking independent sources. Among them, you’ll find comparison platforms (like Appvizer, GetApp...) that gather verified user reviews. For example, Appvizer displays ratings based on data collected via trusted sources. These platforms also allow you to compare multiple PLM tools side-by-side based on key criteria (UX, support, integrations).
Additionally, technical blogs and industry publications sometimes share unbiased feedback and case examples. You can also turn to professional communities (specialized LinkedIn groups, industry forums, or trade associations), which often provide real-world insights into the adoption of different PLM systems.
By cross-referencing these different sources, you’ll gain a complete picture and gather valuable feedback to guide your decision.
The use cases published by Aletiq highlight a variety of client situations, helping you evaluate whether our platform aligns with your industry needs. For instance, LISI Aerospace (aeronautics sector) implemented Aletiq to centralize technical data across 20 factories in 10 countries.
According to their team, the PLM platform helped them save time on product changes, ensure compliance with key standards (EN 9100, ISO 9001), and harmonize practices across sites.
The entire deployment was completed in 18 months, following a successful pilot phase. LISI also praised the platform’s “digital continuity”: all data—from design to production and quality—is now synchronized, reducing duplicate entries and speeding up decision-making.
In short, Aletiq enabled the company to deploy a group-wide PLM system with a two-month go-live on the pilot site. Another client, Moria, a medical device SME, faced pressure from new EU regulatory requirements and needed to update around 10,000 product references across its regulatory files (DHF/DMR/DHR). Before Aletiq, each team used its own tools, resulting in a slow and opaque update process.
Implementation was very fast—12,000 documents were imported in just a few weeks—and the platform significantly accelerated compliance efforts.
According to their team, product changes are now “three times faster” than before. So, if you’ve been wondering where to find PLM software reviews, don’t hesitate to combine multiple sources for a well-rounded, realistic view based on real-world use cases from professionals who’ve implemented the system themselves.
