Siemens named a leader in 2025 PLM analyst evaluation

The report, published by Forrester Research, evaluated eight PLM vendors for discrete manufacturers. Siemens' Teamcenter software received the highest possible scores in 11 evaluation criteria and received the highest score in the Strategy category among the evaluated vendors.

Siemens was also recognised as a Customer Favourite, based on reference customer feedback. According to the report, "Reference customers unanimously endorse Siemens' continuity of support, security, clear communication, customer service, and issue resolution," and all indicated they would purchase from Siemens again.

The report also states that Siemens "reinforces its vision for transforming the PLM foundation of smart manufacturing with a pragmatic, transparent roadmap," and notes that "Siemens' commitment to innovation pays off with many above-par capabilities." Siemens received the highest scores possible in criteria including interoperability with design tools, digital thread, embedded software, bill of process, materials or sourcing library integration, support for small batch manufacturing, innovation, roadmap, partner ecosystem, pricing flexibility and transparency, and support for sales and marketing use cases.

"We're honoured to be recognised by Forrester as a Leader in PLM for discrete manufacturing," said Frances Evans, Senior Vice President, Lifecycle Collaboration Software, Siemens Digital Industries Software. "To us, this recognition reflects our strategy to deliver modern, flexible PLM solutions through the Siemens Xcelerator portfolio, and we're especially proud to see Teamcenter acknowledged as a customer favourite."

Teamcenter is a comprehensive Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) platform that helps companies manage complexity and bring products to market faster. Teamcenter X, the cloud-based version delivered as a service, provides the same deep functionality with built-in best practices and lower total cost of ownership. Both are part of the Siemens Xcelerator portfolio of software and services.
