[mention]mike miller[/mention] You’ll need to identify and define in detail all use cases you have and ask the vendors to demonstrate that use case in their software. don’t forget the administrative side in your use cases. We have Windchill and it does a lot of things but making changes in the system is extremely complex compared to SolidWorks PDM.
Couple of references I found:

Just had a demo of Design Data Manager. Super impressed with what I saw! The software is super powerful! And it only requires SQL Express server for 5-10 users. Teamcenter Rapid Start requires SQL Standard or Premium which is lots of $$$$ plus the DDM software is cheaper than Teamcenter Rapid Start software!
They also seemed very accommodating.
I think they’ll give you a trial period. Definitely use that time to test things out.
And yes, they’re a small company so they can “pivot” and add functionality much more quickly than you may see from one of the big players. DDM has been around for something like 25 years now, though. So, don’t necessarily let it scare you that they’re a small company.
Yes, we definitely will!
He said they have been around for 26 years now.
I am fairly confident in them as last year they installed DDM for a company w/ 12,000+ users all over the world! (We will have 4 CAD users.) It took them 7 months.
