Product(s): Siemens Opcenter Execution
Overall Comment:"Siemens has been strongly engaged as a partner, and continually show an effort to partner. The product while robust and stable for a plurality of MES capabilities, can be over complicated and nuanced to set up and use for higher end MES capabilities and full integrations with other manufacturing systems software."
The underlying capabilities of the software is robust and stable, but it is a platform that requires extensive resources to truly understand and leverage which may limit effective and efficient use. Targeted use as a behind the scenes engine with customized internal interfaces appears to have turned into the best success formula for our deployments.
Bugs and 'not intuitive' logic in the product, which necessitate a lot of back and forth to fully solved with the vendor. In semiconductor industry use, requires many customizations which in turn result in upgrade challenges.
