Overall Simatic SCADA is very helpful and easy to use.

Pros

HMI and SCADA screen designing is pretty easy and software interface is user friendly.

Cons

Software feels slow sometimes and not having quick response. Creating tags for SCADA is also a time taking process. It should automatically fetch tags from PLC software.

Pros

Simatic es un SCADA fácil de manejar para operarios de producción. El entorno de uso es amigable y permite mostrar información sobre todos los puntos del automatismo(señales, sensores, accionamientos, servos,...). La precisión de los movimientos en tiempo real es altísima. La comunicación con el PLC es directa.

Cons

Lo que menos me gusta es el precio, todo lo demás está muy bien.

Pros

Tiene buena comunicación con el PLC, sencilla implementación de pantallas, gran cantidad de elementos que se pueden asociar (imágenes, interruptores, contadores...).En general en un SCADA muy potente, que permite un gran margen de posibilidades.

Cons

En los modelos más nuevos, se hecha en falta la sencillez que si existía en los modelos más antiguos, y que te permitía implementar un IHM de una forma más rápida y sencilla aunque la calidad no fuese tan depurada.

I am a final year engineering undergraduate student. For my degree, I had to make control systems using components such as PLCs, HMIs, VFDs and relays. Siemens provide the best such components and SCADA software. Therefore, I had to learn this software. Learning SIMATIC SCADA is very important for my future career. In my point of view, it saves time and by using it we can create and simulate control systems easily.

Pros

SIMATIC SCADA is the most popular SCADA software and it is easy to use. The real-time accessibility feature and comfortable user interface makes it user-friendly. We can create and simulate control systems by using this software and it saves time. The price of this software is reasonable.

Cons

At the beginning it was difficult to learn, but once I got familiarized with the software, it is to easy to use.

Simatic SCADA practically saved a huge amount of time in all the monitoring and remote access management (with computerized HMI).

Pros

Elegant data visualization and delay-free real-time accessibility were the main paid-off-well features when it comes to the overall experience.

Cons

Data dumping and lack of functionalities to archive or retain data was a minus sign yet managed. Considering the aged data load, Siemens should really focus on reliable data archiving functionality soon.
