User Testimonials
	SystemLink	SmartBear TestLeft
Likelihood to Recommend	NI (National Instruments) There are definitely scenarios where NI SystemLink will be useful but just didn't work out well for us. I needed to be able to replace an EXE file on a computer with a new EXE to do the upgrades but I was not able to do that through SystemLink. You had to work with packages in order to perform this and I didn't want to revamp my distribution plan. We also didn't need to do any asset management or calibration documentation through SystemLink. I was excited about being able to view data from the test stations through a browser but our engineers need historical data available and everything resets to a live view when you click back to the UI.

Return on Investment	NI (National Instruments) Availability to monitor multiple test stations remotely Was quick to integrate into existing LabVIEW codebase Ultimately did not justify the licensing cost for the benefit Incentivized Verified User Read full review	SmartBear No answers on this topic
