User Testimonials
	Ignition	OSIsoft PI System, from AVEVA
Likelihood to Recommend	Ignition It can be used to invoice for anyone, so I will always recommend it. Incentivized Veronica M Duckett Managing Partner Read full review	AVEVA If you have many different DCSs or PLCs in your manufacturing plant, OSIsoft PI System does the job quite well to integrate all different types of sources and data. We have Yokogawa, Mitsubishi, Hitachi, and Azbil DCS and PLC. Connecting them is not a problem. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Pros	Ignition Proposal process. PI makes it easy to create and send proposals to new and existing clients, collect their payment info, and get signature on the engagement letter. Easily identify engagements that will be expiring, so we can begin to assemble a renewal. Communication to and from the client during the proposal process, which keeps everything associated with the proposal together in one place. Incentivized Christopher Dulin President Read full review	AVEVA Ability to integrate with many 3rd-party systems, 70 sources as per their marketing claims Great for big data management Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Cons	Ignition I would love to see it really support other industries better, like Marketing. There are workarounds for invoicing and set up, but it could be easier. I would love the option to be able to send the client a single proposal with different options and allow them to select which one they want to move forward with. Right now we have to send a proposal for each option. I would love for there to be user permissions where certain users can log in to see the proposals they are associated with without seeing everything. Incentivized Veronica M Duckett Managing Partner Read full review	AVEVA Missing some features and has some bugs Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Support Rating	Ignition No answers on this topic	AVEVA Good local support. The only issue is that there are not many system integrators that are well versed with OSIsoft. The implementation is also very costly. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Alternatives Considered	Ignition You aren't able to customize the design of the proposal, but it surpases everything we have ever tried. It's easy to use and quick to learn. Incentivized Veronica M Duckett Managing Partner Read full review	AVEVA No answers on this topic
Return on Investment	Ignition We have reduced our A/R by 60% and expect to completely eliminate A/R by the end of this year. Incentivized Christopher Dulin President Read full review	AVEVA Real-time data We don't require constant updates during crisis from a technician who usually will update to BCP team via WhatsApp. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
