## Reviews

### "Strong for Automation, Could Improve on User Interface" — 4.0/5

> **Jonnabelle A.** | *August 6, 2025* | Food & Beverages | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: One of the biggest advantages of FactoryTalk View is how well it integrates with ControlLogix. That tight connection really streamlines development and troubleshooting. It’s especially helpful when working across complex packaging lines and process areas. Things just sync up well without a lot of extra setup.
> 
> **Cons**: Where it falls short is in the HMI design flexibility. Compared to platforms like AVEVA InTouch, it feels a bit limited and dated. Building more modern or dynamic screens takes more time and sometimes feels clunky. It works, but there’s room for improvement in the user interface side of things.
> 
> At Nestlé, we used FactoryTalk View in both process control and packaging environments. It handled operator interfaces, alarms, and real-time monitoring. It was reliable overall, and once the system was up and running, it required minimal intervention.

### "FactoryTalk View Review" — 5.0/5

> **Bien** | *May 16, 2025* | Food Production | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: FactoryTalk View supports both standalone machine-level HMI (Human-Machine Interface) and distributed visualization solutions, making it suitable for a wide range of applications from process to batch and discrete manufacturing.
> 
> **Cons**: I find the software complex to set up and configure, especially if they don't have a strong background in control systems
> 
> Iappreciate the software's ability to support both standalone machine-level HMI and distributed visualization solutions, making it suitable for various applications.

> 
> **Pros**: is  useful but the only one  my company use
> 
> **Cons**: ir  cratches all the time , causing delays in my work
> 
> use  on programming  water plants

### "FactoryTalk VantagePoint is powerful access to industrial data" — 4.0/5

> **Chris** | *February 14, 2018* | Consumer Goods | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The key to FactoryTalk VantagePoint is to treat all data as time series "tag" data when setting up connectors.  Being able to quickly grab any tag across the entire company and drop it on a trend chart or bring it into Excel is very powerful.  The application can connect to all major industrial historians as well as any SQL or Oracle database.  This gives you access to just about any data available.
> 
> **Cons**: The best features of the product are not well exposed and are not as user friendly.  For example, the ability to finesse a data set within the Excel Add-in is called Post-SQL processing, hidden deep within the wizard, and requires knowledge of SQL as well as undocumented syntax to refer to columns.
> 
> Fast access to all manufacturing data across the entire company

-----

### "FactoryTalk Suite" — 5.0/5

> **Russell** | *March 12, 2019* | Industrial Automation | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I appreciate that the FactoryTalk suite can integrate data from the plant floor to a high level manager.  I can easily gather data via FactoryTalk Linx and push it to my displays in FactoryTalk View SE, my historian in FactoryTalk Historian SE, and even to reports via VantagePoint.  The HMI is easy to use and I like how everything integrates more or less seamlessly.
> 
> **Cons**: The View SE displays can use some higher quality (vector based) graphics.  The graphics engine is a little old and needs some reworking.  Also, some basic integration of database calls and tabular data in the HMI is missing without the engineer doing quite a bit of work or relying on third party active-x controls.
> 
> I have had good luck with the software and with all the documentation.  I have had spotty luck with the support team.  More times than not they can get to the source of the problem right away, but occassionally you seem to get someone who appears to have not had much real life use of the products.
