Propel vs. Agile

Frictionless Collaboration from Concept to Customer

A single view of all product data, automated workflows, and actionable insights connect everyone across your extended enterprise.

I would use Propel over Agile any day. It’s suited for a mid-size company and has everything if we grow to a Fortune 500 company.

Propel vs. Oracle Agile

Oracle Agile

Digitizes Concept to Customer Lifecycle

Provides a single platform for suppliers, engineering, quality, sales, customer service and customers to work together

Propel

Siloed solutions focused on individual department needs instead of company-wide goals

Alternatives

Strong Cloud Architecture

Propel

Built on the Salesforce platform for enterprise class security and scalability at a low TCO

On-premise or aging cloud technologies with high TCO, not designed for distributed or remote workforces

Alternatives

Core PLM Capabilities

Propel makes it easier to connect all your people and integrate all your data so that you can manage the full product lifecycle

Propel

Designed for engineering not the entire enterprise and cannot manage the full NPI process

Alternatives

Core Quality Management Capabilities

Provides closed loop enterprise wide quality management that drive quality back into design and supplier management

Propel

Manages the basics of quality, including SCAR, NC and CAPAs but is not well integrated with PLM, sales or service apps/users

Alternatives

Ease of Use

Highly intuitive desktop and mobile user interfaces make it easier for anyone to learn quickly

Propel

Complex and clunky user interfaces make it difficult for anyone but a power user to access.

Alternatives

Collaboration built in

Built in collaboration give you the context to see both the BOM and have the context on why different components were selected

Propel

Collaboration is left to email or Slack making it very difficult to see the discussion around product design choices

Alternatives

Strong supplier management

Propel

Supplier management is built in, so that suppliers can easily access just their data and alerts in a few clicks.

Not designed for suppliers and requires clunky VPNs and bolt-on modules

Alternatives

I’ve used PLM systems for more than 20 years, and Propel continues to be a leader with its flexible and easy solution.
