Has significantly improved 3D design workflows but support needs more consistency

As a reseller, I think the biggest advantage of Autodesk Fusion is its functionality, which is brilliant and offered at a really competitive price. Regarding the 360 simulation capability, it's very important for our customers, and it's important for customers to share that information with their suppliers and with customers.

Reliable controls have improved daily turbine tuning and simplify diagnosis for smooth operations

What I appreciate most about Siemens SIMATIC is that it is a very user-friendly system, and I can access it easily. The part that feels easiest for me with Siemens SIMATIC is in diagnosis, particularly for troubleshooting the diagnosis. Siemens SIMATIC has helped my organization in a positive way because it is operationally very smooth, I can troubleshoot easily for the systems, and we can use it anywhere. We are using the OPC systems, so it is a very user-friendly system where I can access troubleshooting, and I can do diagnosis very easily.
