AVEVA Edge Reviews & Product Details

Have multiple built-in driver such as Modbus, ADS, Profinet and etc. It consists of those basic functionality such as alarm table, trending, web interface and etc. Furthermore, it is user friendly where it has a built in manual with sample coding. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some of the driver table is not so user friendly and not much information is provided on the manual itself. For example is the BACnet driver. Not much of sample and explanation is provided. Besides, Database functionality is built in but I think there is too much configuration involved to configure it properly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

When I was first asked to use InduSoft I was merely a student with little experience, and yet I was able to create a UPS monitoring and feedback system within weeks using the guides available. What I like most is the ease of use, the abundance of guides and the intuitive UI which, although not that pretty, serves an industrial purpose like you expect it to.

The last time I used InduSoft, there were the occasional bugs, like the UI not refreshing like it was configured to. But nothing major. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The built in drivers. We use TwinCAT but the automatic tag recognition is horrible. We still have to make thousands of tags and structures manually using Excel. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Where do I start. Updates. Moving from 7.0sp1 to 8.0 was a disaster for us. The software destroyed many of our core symbol features and was a major, major pain to fix. Indusoft was not helpful and basically made us buy our way out. Not good.

The lack of real structures. Seriously, why can I have arrays in a class. This is severely limiting.

The security system can have a tag in the security field. Lame. Again very limiting

Can’t have symbols in symbols. Super limiting and cause architectural problems with symbol design.

Lack of good graphic editing. The tools to create graphics are super basic and not very good.

Group editing. Why can’t you drill down into a group easily to see what you need to edit? Many other software does this no problem.

Lack of screen folder organization. I work on rather large projects and not being able to organize my screens into folder is a pain.

Lack of a compiled HMI application. Transferring a HMI project is huge to a remote PC. There should be some kind of compiled version of a regular pc to push to the machine.

In short I feel like I am creating an HMI with crayons. Since it is what we use I am trying my best to redevelop the HMI application in Visual studio or TC3 HMI. As soon as I can I want to ditch Indusoft. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Programming is way easy. Linking with the server and data logging is very user friendly and can be learned easily. Features like mobile viewer and remote access is enough for advanced users Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Hardware license key is very difficult to go with. Development and runtime 2 different key handling is difficult for the team but it's ok from the process point of view Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Indusoft is a flexible system that can be adapted to run any application from light HMI applications to complete scada applications. The application can be adapted to fit and the fact that it is possible for you as a designer can make and implement intelligent object makes for a truly versatile platform.

The web application publisher needs to be worked on, for now I can only open the web pages in older versions of internet explorer. That part is definitely missing Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that it's an easy learning program, but also you can develop great SCADA's Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The SCRIPT development could have a better help center. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the best that InduSoft Web Studio is developer and configuration friendly. The scripting language is Visual Basic and that makes our coding experience easier. There are many build-in graphical components and tools and we can create uniquely nice looking projects. There are also many communication drivers that are easy to configure and use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We are very satisfied with the product but there are some things that we dislike. The debugging experience could be better (for example the break point doesn't work very good). We encounter some instabilities in the latest versions of InduSoft Web Studio (after version 8.0). Also the Web access works only with the Internet Explorer.

communication with any PLC, good enough fast, good customization in animation Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

sometimes it finds corruption in files, can't customize in it's max level, no 3D graphics Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It has inbuilt PLC drivers, like other SCADA software, it does not require additional cost for additional OPC server/client software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Poor competitiveness and slow development compared to other SCADA software to update its versions to match with frequently changing Microsoft OS. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

nothing. It is out-dated It needs a lot more development Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nearly all of it Most of the designing studio is old and needs updating for the 21st century Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
