- Since the software is built with your needs in mind, it can be tailored to your specific needs.
- System security is also created with your specific needs in mind and can be extremely detailed for various roles within the organization.
- The various modules integrate well, if thought through system processes when building.

- Their layout and limited web capabilities are a turn-off
- They lack basic functionality in their web [version]
- The implementation phase is bumpy since their guides and process documents are not step by step and are usually confusing

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.

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.

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

- Our business processes were in flux when the initial build of our system was taking place - this made lives very difficult. Make sure processes are set!
- Time - beyond what could have been imagined - this is a huge project, that needs proper resources assigned to it within a company when planning to install.
