Overall Satisfaction with ThingWorx

We use it to deploy such solutions in the most varied types of customers, from pulp & paper, consumer goods, heavy industry, and whatever industry you can think of. It's mainly focused on monitoring asset health, optimizing processes through the analytics extension, and providing plant-level alerts for faster decision-making. ThingWorx is great if you want to create an MES-like solution for your company, but have data coming not only from the plant floor, but also from databases, azure, and others.
  • Quick monitoring of extraordinary behaviour of a monitored component
  • As the Kepware tools and libraries have become more integrated, the platform has an unrivalled set of interface solutions.
  • Modelling is simple enough to explain to non-specialists but very powerful in its expression.
  • It's difficult to delete entities once the network becomes large and complex. N+Maintaining synchronicity between multiple devs and productions systems has to be carefully managed.
  • Difficult to manage a complicated system
  • MQTT interface needs improvement
  • Aggregation of data from production controllers
  • The ThingWorx modeling is simple enough to explain to non-specialists but very powerful in its expression.
  • As the Kepware tools and libraries have become more integrated, the platform has an unrivaled set of interface solutions.
  • Good for quick test of IoT platform
  • Successful is a use case in preventive maintenance (health monitoring of production assets on selected production lines).
  • Good for quick deployment of customer specific control of IoT
Well-suited - multiple streams from many data sources, highly scalable application scenarios.Good for a quick test of internet of things (IoT) connectivity and for deploying access via the web. Smooth deployment, easy to couple to devices. Easy cooperation with Splunk, which we use also.

Do you think ThingWorx delivers good value for the price?

Yes

Are you happy with ThingWorx's feature set?

Yes

Did ThingWorx live up to sales and marketing promises?

I wasn't involved with the selection/purchase process

Did implementation of ThingWorx go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy ThingWorx again?

Yes

As a domain expert, I no longer had to express my requirements in a classical requirements spec, I could develop it in an agile way, continuously improving the data model as my understanding of the application became more sophisticated. The ability to then build a mashup in the same time it took to develop a PowerPoint slide deck was a revelation. As a small, but long-standing partner, I'm confident that the future of our WaterWorX platform will accelerate due to our reliance on ThingWorx to power our smart water applications.
