Cons

Unfortunately, usability is a major issue at times. I hear complaints about dropped network traffic, and it's not our infrastructure.
The interface is confusing. We have to train new employees with a lot of detailed instructions which shouldn't be necessary.
We have had to pay for any support on the above issues.

Cost may an area ABB can look in to.

ABB Ability Solution Suite 10.0

Based on 1 answer

One of the best solutions in the market with a user-friendly system. This is very useful when the ABB system (Like we had 800xA) is there, new or existing; all the ABB systems can be integrated using this rather than going to a 3rd party vendor, which may have interface problems.

ABB Ability Solution Suite 10.0

Based on 1 answer

Good support in terms of quality and promptness. When we had problems with some of the commands not getting executed, their online support also provided a good solution to solve the problem. Even mission-critical task we were able to solve during this Pandemic time. The suggestion is to go for the online support 1st in the future, followed by a visit.

Alternatives Considered

24SevenOffice has its own pros and cons just like any other software. It is a great software for an organization to do project management or financial management. It stacks up very competitively against others and is probably in the top 3. the UI that is offered by this software surpasses all the others that I have used and/or mentioned above. It is a breeze to understand most parts of the software by yourself. I think in terms of support there could be some improvement that can be possible and will result in much better feedback from its clients. Overall I give it a great rating in terms of usability and capability to handle the majority of business management, project management, and financial management features.

Better suited for the ABB System as Microsoft is a third party for ABB Control System.

Return on Investment

We were using a fairly similar program from an ROI perspective previously so I can't say it's had a big effect.
That said the network issues represent lost hours/money.
The added training is also expensive.

Positive is definitely ROI since manual intervention is minimized and the process is automated.
Cost wise, ABB has been looked upon considering the small industry.
Overall, a good solution for a large companies.
