I have been using dataPARC at work since 2022 and I really like the system's quick, online, and automatic response. I find it especially valuable to be able to visualize data in an educational way with customized dashboards, along with the functionality of receiving alarm notifications directly via email, which greatly facilitates the monitoring of the production process. The ease with which dataPARC allows data to be displayed and the system's usability are great advantages. Additionally, it is very useful for comparing different data sets and tracking the progress of daily operations, which enriches my work environment, making it more efficient and accurate.

The manual could be in Portuguese to facilitate learning and searching for information. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

dataPARC is extremely user-friendly, especially if you're familiar with Microsoft products. The layout is intuitive and makes it easy to navigate and find the information relevant to your area. Unlike PI, dataPARC doesn’t require extensive training to get started, everything is laid out in a way that just makes sense. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I've never had any issues with the program. There is nothing I dislike about DataParc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The best things I have acquired from the execution of our new DataParc system installed at Piedmont Green Power is the realization of the mostly simple to use and expansive capabilities of the system. The website is an extremely well-built resource that has already been very useful in my task of building our system graphics and data acquisition. The training provided by Caleb Spires is among the best training sessions I have ever received from any industrial system support staff. The training provided by Caleb was very clear, concise, and explained in a manner that a technician new to the nuances of the programming software could easily understand.

The script for CalcTag building could include more examples and perhaps a more in-depth explanation of the VB language, such as a list of most common commands used in DataParc. The VB manuals I found online are almost too expansive and require much research when you're not sure what line entry command you are trying to find for the desired outcome. This would be beneficial for those who have not had much experience using VB. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don't have any dislikes about Data PARC. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Personalization of displays. Depth of software- the software is immediately useful for a novice user, and has extreme depth for experienced users. The custom scripting you can input gives you the ability to display anything you can think of. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I had a great experience with dataparc.. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We use dataPARC's tools on a daily basis and they are critical to our operations.

dataPARC is always listening to their customers to make improvements. The company continues to build in features that support their customers needs even when it means tackling difficult requests. I have been a client for a long time and have seen multiple desirable features get built into the system over time.

Their service team is responsive and the company tries to make solutions and training available to all clients. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The biggest issue with dataPARC is the loading speed. There are work around to this through SQL and Excel and we know that dataPARC is aware of this and continues to work on it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

dataPARC serves as a great hub for our various data sources. It's valuable to have data from different parts of the mill all in the same place and to be able to trend this data. The Graphics Designer tool allows you to build graphics that communicate a lot more information than a spreadsheet.

The ability to easily build custom tags either using CALC tags or CTCCALCS tags is very powerful. This is one of the functions I use the most. This function allows you to use process values as variables in equations or formulas whose output can then be trended just like any other tag. This provides insights that you wouldn't necessarily receive from DCS data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Once I started using dataPARC more and got beyond the surface, I started noticing a few bugs here and there. More often than not they have been related to the user interface in different parts of the software. The good thing is that dataPARC support is very responsive!

The intuitiveness and ease with which you can create the trends you need and customize the scales and stats with ease. The quick look tools and software around golden runs and grade browsers are a game changer in the Paper Industry. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The graphics creator can be a little tricky sometimes, but if you're familiar with it, you can make it do whatever you want. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The team is incredibly helpful. We work a lot with Caleb who is so knowledgable and available to us. He is willing to go above and beyond his job on a regular basis. The data is easy to view and has really helped us in improving our operations. Dataparc was very easy to implement and Caleb worked hand in hand with our IT team to ensure everything we needed was in place. We use dataparc every day in our morning meeting, it is quickly becoming a part of our culture. We have been able to integrate dataparc with any piece of equipment we have. In most cases this integration only requires adding on a low cost sensor. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We are excited for a notes section to be added to the MDE function. We hear that is being worked on now. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

dataPARC’s simple ease of use combined with advanced calculations makes it useful for everyone on site. The integration of different displays in the Graphics Designer has allowed us to make some custom applications for the plant. In addition the ability to integrate multiple data sources has been priceless, we can now view most of our different systems with one interface. We have automated and streamlined a lot of the operational data analysis using dataPARC Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We are currently running an older version and find the back end systems a little clunky. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
