"Data Organization Software that's Worth the Initial Time Investment "

Overall: PI is a system that does require an initial workload and general upkeep to really build that platform for a single source of truth, but it is worth the effort. I would highly recommend this product to initiate or replace your current data organization software. It is quite powerful and the more time and effort invested into building this out for your group or company, the more opportunities to optimize and analyze any data package.

Pros: The only way a company can stay competitive within their field is to be efficient, cost effective, and data driven. PI has allowed my group to adopt a data-driven approach that allows us optimize our process performance. PI is a product that allows you to reduce production variation and really dive into historical and real-time operational data. The opportunities for PI to be adopted in any filed is strong as it helps digitize any type of data.

Cons: While the software is powerful, the initial set up, networking, general upkeep, and updates that have to be maintained can be quite involved. The PI system requires a team supporting its continued use for a group and this is a process that requires some training.

"PI Systems Review for Handling and Analyzing Large Data"

Overall: If you are looking for an incredibly powerful tool that allows you to manage and accumulate data, than PI Systems could be the program for you. PI Systems is able to collect a great amount of data in very little time, interpret the data for process decisions, and optimize your process in ways that other programs cannot. I highly recommend using PI Systems or learning more about it if anything I talked about seems like something that you would use at your company.

Pros: There are a number of reasons why I would recommend using PI Systems. There are many programs within PI Systems that will allow you and your team to better organize, analyze, and study any data that you may be working on. PI Systems is also so versatile in the type of data that you can analyze with it. So whether you need data that piles up or data that needs to be acted on in a quick period of time, PI Systems has the capacity to handle it. I have used PI Systems within my job to reduce variations and optimize process performance, and recommend it to anyone that is doing the same.

Cons: At first you may notice that the program may be a bit hard to manage and not best suited for the work that you may need done. However, this user interface can be customized to best suit your work and all of your needs. Since this program will typically be used by many people in your group, you may need training for everyone on how to work with this program to learn all of its capabilities, which can be tedious.

"As an IT Analyst, I troubleshoot this software and use the software for troubleshooting."

Pros: The ability to customize and set up new PI displays depending on needs. For example, we have an IT display created to show the status of our manufacturing equipment as well as various servers and interfaces.

Cons: The displays can look a bit outdated. Troubleshooting can sometimes be cumbersome as it is a fairly complex software system.
