One drawback of Aras Innovator was its User interface in versions up to R33, which felt outdated and less intuitive compared to modern PLM systems. While the backend is powerful, the earlier UI required a steeper learning curve for new users. However, newer releases have significantly improved usability and modernised the look and feel.
