    It works very well for essential data storage such as security footage. It is well suited for remote office storage, but not so much as large database storage.

    As I said before, it's the only tool known to man capable of programming Rockwell PLC's, so if any colleague needed to program one I 100% would recommend it. So, this software is appropiate only when using Rockwell PLC's. As far as I know it would program any other brand.

    Cons
    Lenovo
    • There are a lot of xclarity tools that need to be condensed.
    • I would like to see the old IMM interface return as the new management interface is not as easy to use.
    • Replacing some of the internal components is more involved than it used to be.

    I much prefer the old x systems as I have worked with them for a while. The ds series is much faster and more reliable. Servicing it is simple but some internal components require more involvement.

    Studio 5000 is a good product. Compared to Omrom's CX-Programmer feels more advanced and with more functions, altough that depends on the PLC being programmed. I choose Studio 5000 because there are no other options when programming Rockwell PLC's

    • Well, there is one customer that only uses Rockwells PLC's, so I could say that Studio 5000 is a must have and a good percent of the bussiness depends on it.
