dataPARC Reviews & Product Details

The best things I have acquired from the execution of our new DataParc system installed at Piedmont Green Power is the realization of the mostly simple to use and expansive capabilities of the system. The website is an extreamly well built resource that has already been very usefull in my task of building our system graphics and data acquisition. The training provided by Caleb Spires is among the best training sessions I have ever received from any industrial system support staff. The training provided by Caleb was very clear, concise, and explained in a manner that a techncian new to the neuances of the programming software could easily understand.

The script for CalcTag building could include more examples and perhaps a more indepth explanation of the VB language, such as a list of most common commands used in DataParc. The VB manuals I found online are almost too expansive and require much research when your not sure what line entry command you are trying to find for the desired outcome. this would be beneficial for those who have not had much experience using VB.

Personalization of displays. Depth of software- the software is immediately useful for a novice user, and has extreme depth for experienced users. The custom scripting you can input gives you the ability to display anything you can think of. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We use dataPARC's tools on a daily basis and they are critical to our operations.

dataPARC is always listening to their customers to make improvements. The company continues to build in features that support their customers needs even when it means tackling difficult requests. I have been a client for a long time and have seen multiple desirable features get built into the system over time.

Their service team is responsive and the company tries to make solutions and training available to all clients. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The biggest issue with dataPARC is the loading speed. There are work around to this through SQL and Excel and we know that dataPARC is aware of this and continues to work on it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

dataPARC serves as a great hub for our various data sources. It's valuable to have data from different parts of the mill all in the same place and to be able to trend this data. The Graphics Designer tool allows you to build graphics that communicate a lot more information than a spreadsheet.

The ability to easily build custom tags either using CALC tags or CTCCALCS tags is very powerful. This is one of the functions I use the most. This function allows you to use process values as variables in equations or formulas whose output can then be trended just like any other tag. This provides insights that you wouldn't necessarily receive from DCS data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Once I started using dataPARC more and got beyond the surface, I started noticing a few bugs here and there. More often than not they have been related to the user interface in different parts of the software. The good thing is that dataPARC support is very responsive!

The intuitivesnes and ease with which you can create the trends you need and customize the scales and stats with ease. The quick look tools and software around golden runs and grade browsers are a game changer in the Paper Industry. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The graphics creator can be a little tricky sometimes, but if you're familiar with it, you can make it do whatever you want. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

dataPARC’s simple ease of use combined with advanced calculations makes it useful for everyone on site. The integration of different displays in the Graphics Designer has allowed us to make some custom applications for the plant. In addition the ability to integrate multiple data sources has been priceless, we can now view most of our different systems with one interface. We have automated and streamlined a lot of the operational data analysis using dataPARC Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The best feature of dataPARC is the speed with which I can both access and crunch data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The most frustrating aspect of using dataPARC is that they don't put the entire development team at my personal disposal. I have so many good ideas! :) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Quick response times from the dataPARC teams, and tailored solutions as we build a relationship between our organization and dataPARC, so that the dataPARC team may provide timely solutions/developments to our unique databases and applications. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

New developments require a greater degree of upkeep, such as needing to restart services on the PARCView server . Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
