â PTC didnât have a tool to do it
⢠Customer Thoughts
â How will the performance of 10.X or 9.X compare to 3.4 or 8.0?
â Have we sized our hardware appropriately?
â How will the system perform Day 1?
â Is the system performance degrading over time?
⢠Customer wanted data to support reality
â âI think PDMLink 10.1 is slower than 9.1â
â âThe system seems slower than a couple months agoâ
