Comments: Overall Simatic SCADA is very helpful and easy to use.

Pros:

HMI and SCADA screen designing is pretty easy and software interface is user friendly.

Cons:

Software feels slow sometimes and not having quick response. Creating tags for SCADA is also a time taking process. It should automatically fetch tags from PLC software.

Overall the best SCADA solution with all-in-one platform

4.0 4 years ago

Comments: Simatic SCADA practically saved a huge amount of time in all the monitoring and remote access management (with computerized HMI).

Pros:

Elegant data visualization and delay-free real-time accessibility were the main paid-off-well features when it comes to the overall experience.

Cons:

Data dumping and lack of functionalities to archive or retain data was a minus sign yet managed. Considering the aged data load, Siemens should really focus on reliable data archiving functionality soon.

The best SCADA software

4.0 3 years ago

Comments: I am a final year engineering undergraduate student. For my degree, I had to make control systems using components such as PLCs, HMIs, VFDs and relays. Siemens provide the best such components and SCADA software. Therefore, I had to learn this software. Learning SIMATIC SCADA is very important for my future career. In my point of view, it saves time and by using it we can create and simulate control systems easily.

Pros:

SIMATIC SCADA is the most popular SCADA software and it is easy to use. The real-time accessibility feature and comfortable user interface makes it user-friendly. We can create and simulate control systems by using this software and it saves time. The price of this software is reasonable.

Cons:

At the beginning it was difficult to learn, but once I got familiarized with the software, it is to easy to use.

SIMATIC SCADA (Win CC, Tia Portal...)

5.0 2 years ago

Pros:

Tiene buena comunicación con el PLC, sencilla implementación de pantallas, gran cantidad de elementos que se pueden asociar (imágenes, interruptores, contadores...).En general en un SCADA muy potente, que permite un gran margen de posibilidades.

Cons:

En los modelos más nuevos, se hecha en falta la sencillez que si existía en los modelos más antiguos, y que te permitía implementar un IHM de una forma más rápida y sencilla aunque la calidad no fuese tan depurada.
