## FactoryTalk View Reviews
  ### 1. It works for small systems but there are a lot of better options

**Rating:** 3.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Nick D. | Control Systems Engineer, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**What do you like best about FactoryTalk View?**

If you're working with a simple requirement for an HMI connected to an Allen Bradley PLC then this will work well enough. There really isn't much that stands out that this software does better than it's competitors though

**What do you dislike about FactoryTalk View?**

Development time takes a while if you're looking to make your screens look clean and properly aligned, assigning tags to objects is a multi step process, and for some reason this is one of the few Rockwell Software applications that doesn't use RSLinx to set up the communications and you have to redo the connection path just for this one program.

**What problems is FactoryTalk View solving and how is that benefiting you?**

HMI visualization and controls
