ABB Ability Solution Suite vs. DELMIAWorks

Of course this is the one of the best solution available in the market at present. When you have Multiple system in a plant then you need a powerful tool for Computation which Ability does it smoothly.

EnterpriseIQ is very well suited to a company in the plastics industry as the core software would not need to be modified.

• Computation of data.
• Presentation to right person.
• Ability to perform critical task and sending to users.
• Multiple control system connectivity.

• I like how they show the employee information
• The auto reports are nice to be able to set up and not think about again
• The GL display is average

• May be for smaller PLCs this can't be implemented.
• Cost may an area ABB can look in to.
• Improvement in GUI

Incentivized

• Accounting reports: accrued receipts reporting makes it difficult to reconcile.
• Fixed assets: depreciation posts to the general ledger at the asset level, generating inordinately large numbers of relatively meaningless transactions.
• Process cost: PIT display lacks many useful fields, including vendor name and number.
• Financial reports carry beyond two decimal places.
• Report structures are not sensibly arranged, and many reports imbed data within text fields, making manipulation and reporting more time-consuming.

Given how invested we are it would be hard not to renew as don't want to go through another implementation.

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.

Because the modules that I use are not user friendly and seem to have several steps to complete a simple task.

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.

Very poor, try to call company support as a last resort as I know how much time it will take out of my day without getting a solution. It seems like the help desk does not have appropriate experience using the software. It would be nice of there was a separate support line to call for more experienced users of the software so we don't get someone just reading from the help file.

It is nice that an IQMS employee helps you with the implementation, however they were more of a technical resource than a project management resource. I wish they could provide a more off the shelf timeline given their experience in implementing the system.

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

This is the only software that I have used so I am unable to rate it based on another type of software. My experience with IQ is extensive though, and have worked and learned in all areas and love how this program works. The many different modules are relatively easy to learn and they offer support if you need additional instruction.

• 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.

• Our implementation of warehouse management was probably the best investment our company has made recently. The control gained over our inventory is a tremendous asset and allows to see in an instant whether or not we can meet our customers' demands.
