IH Isabelle H. Process Engineer I Enterprise (\> 1000 emp.) 3/18/2020 "I have used LabVIEW only in context of academia and have yet to apply it personally in my industry" 2/5 What do you like best about LabVIEW? Visualization of process flows and front end/back end panels. This a great intro program for students as I used this program initially in university for a physiology course which implemented the program for coding a medical diagnosis program. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about LabVIEW? It was difficult to find certain features used in creating certain programs. This programs may not be the most intuitive if you are not an inquisitive mind. Many students struggled without the help of our instructor but those who spent more time learning the program were able to use it without ease. However, some components of the program that can use some improvement is the option for receiving Help. A question and answer forum would be extremely useful in that users could ask questions and have a resource for answers that is ever growing as more and more users contribute information. Examples of how certain features could be also be provided as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering LabVIEW: This is a great program if you have trouble visualizing programs and codes. This is a great intro especially for students and those new to coding and creating programs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is LabVIEW solving and how is that benefiting you? Feedback loops, visualization of feedback loops are especially helpful. I have also solved electrical and mechanical problems. Using currents and digital and analog inputs and outputs. There are several additional parts that can be used with LabVIEW including scales, temperature probes, and pressure sensors. I realized that the LabVIEW can be used for a multitude of purposes and applications and has the potential to be applied to large companies. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

MJ Mohamed Rizwan J. Mechatronics Specialist Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 3/18/2020 "GUI Development for Grinding machines using Labview" 4/5 What do you like best about LabVIEW? Labview helps modular when a person with less programming experience try to make user interfaces. Graphical programming features of LabVIEW is much helpful to learn to program for freshers. It displays very good hardware communication and drivers. It has a nice GUI interface that you use to create your programs/instruments. It's easy to use, once you learn it. Many examples are available by users online. It is a language/GUI unique to its kind and very versatile in the applications that it can encompass. It's the ability to record and analyze high-precision low-level measurements makes it a really useful tool for scientific purposes. A whole control system design can be easy. DAQ assistant is really useful for capturing data from high precision devices. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about LabVIEW? The main disadvantage of LabVIEW codes is difficult to follow and review. It'll be difficult to understand when we're trying to debug or test programs coded by others. Expert LabVIEW engineers are very rare and It needs lots of effort to recruit persons for LabVIEW programming. Sometimes seems a bit bloated in that if I want to create a very simple EXE then there's a lot of stuff that has to install around it. The controls for the user interface are very limited and creating custom controls is a real pain. Going to vector-based graphics will be nice but so far NXG is not usable for developers creating programs for clients. Some things are just easier to do in text-based languages. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering LabVIEW: If you can find a person who's good in Labview programming then it's a complete solution for cyber-physical systems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is LabVIEW solving and how is that benefiting you? Labview helps as an integrated platform to merge sensors, hardware and helps to make control algorithm easily Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 3/18/2020 "LabView is Amazing" 5/5 What do you like best about LabVIEW? Since I am not a coding person, LabView helps me built user interface by just picking the elements and analyzing without hectic code and stuff. And the best part was when you don't know something about a feature or elements, LabView's help pop up and it explains you without even go to some browser, which saves a lot of time and i think that part makes LabView superior to other similar software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about LabVIEW? Til now there is nothing to say about the demerits. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering LabVIEW: If you don't like to code then this is what you need. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is LabVIEW solving and how is that benefiting you? I use LabView for my "Digital Logic Design" course.
