" May 17, 2018 4.0 Pros The software is easy to use, both from the user side and the engineering development side. It was a great selling factor during our audits with the FAA. Cons The system processing is sometimes slow. Also, had a lot of bugs to work thru during start-up. Also, customer support has sometimes been lacking or not timely. Review Source cW chris W.

Review Source KL Kevin L. IT Mgr Defense & Space Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Solumina MES is feature rich!" May 15, 2017 4.0 Consolidated multiple applications across our manufacturing sites by adopting Solumina Pros Solumina provides a single point of information for operations for Work Instructions, Labor Charging, and discrepancy generation. Cons The complexity of the software and its features can present a learning curve to operators or process engineers, but once you are past that it has great audit features and stability Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Supervisor, Manufacturing Engineering Aviation & Aerospace Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Funky Cold Medina" May 3, 2019 3.0 Pros Solumina does some things well such as lot tracking and allowing traceability to installed components Cons Solumina is very slow, especially while editing work plans and work orders. It can be very clunky and is not easily customized. There are random errors that can occur which is very frustrating, especially since the warning message you receive is not helpful in any way.

Pros I like the options the software had to offer Cons A lot of prep before software was usable in the areas needed Review Source CA Chris A. IT Applications Manager Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Our company has been a long time iBASEt customer. We use Solumina G5, G7, G8, and MES." May 24, 2018 4.0 Pros It is used at our location to run the shop floor. Operations would not be able to make product without it. Solumina is our lifeblood. Cons iBASEt's technology is stale and even in the latest versions, it is behind on the technology curve for Application and what it is developed on.

January 22, 2018 5.0 Pros We have used Solumina MES from iBASEt for over 15 years; and have found it to be very configurable for our manufacturing needs. Cons If I was to venture any kind of opinion that I like least about the Solumina MES software, it would be the Price. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Principal Application Developer Defense & Space Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "It's a piece of work" July 20, 2018 4.0 We are currently in the middle of an exhausting migration from an old version (G5) to new version (G8) and it's been a long, difficult, expensive effort. The company clearly has used Solumina MES successfully in many projects, so it may just be an issue with such a large jump in versioning. Caveat: I'm new to the product and may not have a full understanding of its value to the company and what competitors might provide. Pros It is very, very customizable. An impressive amount of development clearly went into the product. Cons The Solumina G8 browser client software looks like a relic from the Netscape era of UX, very sensitive to network interruption. Bolt-on code can leave something to be desired. Review Source EM Edward M. IT Business Analyst Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Solumina MES fits the needs of my team and organization." January 25, 2018 3.0 Pros Solumina MES is a great application with many features and iBASEt can customize the application to support various business models and business processes. Cons User experience for Solumina MES is not intuitive. A learning curve is expected however working around the interface is cumbersome. As part of the implementation team, the customer service and consultants I worked with could be a little more responsive and helpful. Review Source TJ Tony J. Lean Director Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Good software for storage, retrieval, and linking important docs necessary to support quality. " January 22, 2018 5.0 Pros Linkage of appropriate documentation is very easy for users and administrators. Controlling information exchange/view to appropriate users is also straightforward. Having the ability to establish sign-off criteria within each particular work order is also excellent. Cons Navigation is not logical and could be simplified for user interaction. This would simplify training. Review Source KL Kenneth L. Director of Manufacturing Medical Devices Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "I am part of the Solumina integrations and test team. We are building an interface with QAD." May 15, 2017 4.0 Pros Very flexible, ability to customize to meet our needs. We are building out an interface with QAD- system seems to be working well. Cons Foundation is aerospace, not medical device. Many aspects are confusing or irrelevant to our industry. Review Source ZL Zipporah L. Used the software for: ### "Solumina Review" March 30, 2017 4.0 This iBaset conference was a great way to receive information about the product. The sessions were a great way to learn how other people use the product. They were also great for those who are participating in an upgrade Review Source WL William L. Enterprise Business Process Specialist Oil & Energy Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "This product is extremely useful for our organization." May 11, 2017 5.0 Great Quality and loving the ability to manage add-ons. Pros The software captures the needs of production while maintaining good quality . We are currently using the quality module and looking to implement the MES soon. Cons The user interface is a bit complicated. New user will need considerable amount of time to understand how to operate the software. Review Source MC Michael C. Manufacturing Engineer Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "This seminar gave me a much better understanding of Solumina." May 11, 2017 5.0 Pros I feel like this is one of the better ways when a company wants to move towards paperless programs. All of the information is stored digitally and can be easily accessible if stored on a network. Essentially convenience and making sure each step is done correctly as listed are what I like about it. Cons The problem with going digital is that if there happens to be an outside issue like a power outage or a form of hacking, there's vital information that could be put at risk. Consequences could include loss of data and possible external export of classified information. Review Source TP Tyler P. Manufacturing Engineer Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "So far so good" May 11, 2017 4.0 Pros Great support from iBaset. Our implementation has been a challenge but so far it is going pretty well. Cons a lot of customizability required for our case. This isn't a reflection on the software but really just a nature of the business.
