We use Windchill but not every function. It is not that hard to use. Just like Creo which is very powerful, we probably use only about 20% of its capabilities. Same thing for Windchill, you can pick and choose how you want to use it. It is better than Google doc in every aspect except you cannot have more than one user working on the same document like in Google doc. Our team use Google doc when it makes sense. We also use other online group for team communication. Other than that we use Windchill for CAD files and other things that Windchill is the better choice.
