About 3DLive, industry analysts say:

“3DLive shows tremendous potential for better user insight into in-development product structure, dependencies and status. Adding multi-CAD support is a significant step in realizing that potential. This gives manufacturing companies even more options by enabling greater collaboration in the design and development of new products.”
Dr. Ken Versprille, PLM research director, Collaborative Product Development Associates, LLC

 

“Manufacturers that continuously cultivate their intellectual property consistently perform better than those that don’t. Therefore, we see growing demand for new breed of PLM software that streamlines search, reuse, and enrichment of intellectual property that is easy to access and easy to use, even with highly complex products. Such software will replace today’s typical collaboration, visualization, and product data management applications among the majority of Fortune 1000 global manufacturers by 2013. ”
Marc Halpern, Research Director, Product Lifecycle Management, Gartner

 
“Industry has built a tremendous competitive asset in product-related information. Our clients are always looking for more effective ways to access and leverage this data, in order to speed problem identification and resolution. 3DLive from DS provides an attractive new approach to address this issue and offers an innovative mechanism to investigate product-related information, identify issues, and collaboratively investigate the causes in order to determine the best solution. 3DLive is a welcome addition to the PLM market, and should help companies spread the benefits of PLM to new users beyond the traditional realm of engineering. It should be very well received by both DS customers and the overall market.” 
Ed Miller, President of CIMdata, a leading global consulting and research firm that focuses on PLM

 

"3DLive represents the next generation of 3D collaboration for all stakeholders across the product lifecycle.  Dassault Systemes has delivered 3DLive as portfolio of on-line solutions that enables PLM users to transport product information from a PLM repository and into production operations, business offices, and all domains of the product lifecycle. This offers a distinct competitive advantage to companies by enabling them to connect all design/build/support/maintain 3D product information in a remarkably user friendly 3D environment. In a global business climate, where faster, better, cheaper is the mantra, 3DLive will provide new levels of collaboration for companies to achieve these business requirements.” ARCWire

 

And the customers...

 “3DLive literally puts all stakeholders on the same page, using 3D as a universal media through which they can work together, accelerating decision making and driving innovation, in production, marketing, project management and at the executive level. We are leveraging the PLM IP we built up over the years in new ways,” says Thierry Delaporte, VP Deputy Operation Office, Space Engines Division, Snecma, SAFRAN Group. “With 3DLive, we can maximize our existing PLM investments.”
