Overview

Oracle Agile PLM is a legacy product. The register lists it because it is widely installed and because its Premier Support end date drives many PLM selection projects, not because it is offered as a current roadmap platform. Oracle's own deployment guidance recommends that net new Oracle customers onboard to cloud applications directly.

The product originated at Agile Software Corporation of San Jose, California. Agile announced on 15 May 2007 that Oracle would acquire it in a cash merger at $8.10 per share, about $495 million, and Wikipedia records the completion on 16 July 2007. Agile had agreed to buy the formulation specialist Prodika in 2006, which Oracle now lists as Agile PLM for Process. Oracle's 9.3.6 documentation describes the core suite as solutions that include Product Collaboration, which is installed with every installation, Product Cost Management, Product Portfolio Management, Product Governance and Compliance, and Product Quality Management. Oracle's lifetime support table also lists MCAD connectors, the AutoVue viewer and integration packs for Oracle E-Business Suite and SAP.

According to Oracle's Lifetime Support Policy for Applications, effective 7 August 2026, Premier Support for Agile PLM 9.3.6 ends in December 2027 and for Agile PLM for Process 6.2.4 in May 2027. Sustaining Support then continues for as long as the customer licenses the software, with existing fixes only. Trace One reports that Oracle removed a planned release 9.3.7 from its roadmap in October 2023, which leaves 9.3.6 as the final release. Oracle describes its successor, Oracle Fusion Cloud PLM, as not a one-to-one replica of Agile, and documents a phased migration that exports Agile data to Excel and loads it through file-based data import templates, with Agile and Fusion running in parallel during the move. See Oracle Agile PLM end of support for the dates and migration paths, and PLM data migration for the process.

Best fit

Existing Oracle Agile PLM customers that need to keep a running installation stable until a planned migration. Oracle's deployment guidance points net new customers to its cloud applications.

Presence in Europe

Agile PLM is customer-hosted, so data location follows the customer's own data centre or the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure region the customer chooses for its own installation.

Strengths

Item, BOM and change workflows are mature, and Oracle's support table lists releases of the product line back to the early 2000s.
Separate solutions for cost, portfolio, governance and compliance, and quality extend the core record, and Agile PLM for Process adds formulation and specification management.
Oracle states that it will keep supporting on-premises, Oracle Cloud Infrastructure and hybrid deployments of Agile PLM, and its support policy commits to upgrade paths to Oracle Fusion Applications.
Oracle documents a coexistence approach in which Agile keeps running while migrated data is validated in Fusion Cloud PLM.

Considerations

Premier Support for release 9.3.6 ends in December 2027 and for Agile PLM for Process 6.2.4 in May 2027, after which only Sustaining Support applies.
Release 9.3.6 is the final release, so new certifications with third-party products are not expected, and Oracle lists MCAD for SolidWorks as ending Premier Support in August 2025.
The product is a customer-run installation, so hosting, patching and upgrades remain the customer's responsibility.
Oracle's successor, Fusion Cloud PLM, is a separate SaaS product, so customisations move to business rules and configuration rather than carrying over.
