It is good data/signal processing tool also sutable for large sizes of measurement sets. The automatization through VBA or Python can helps a lot with repeated work. There are plenty of post processing functions available. Visualisation of large data sets in graphs is also relatively fast. It has possibility of load data not only from NI LabView standards but also other industrial standards, Excel and text .csv like. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Scripting require higher license and is not available in Basic. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
As a mechanical engineer with limited programming background, I find that Diadem strikes the right balance between tools and functions available through menus and advanced tools for scripting. With little overhead, it is pretty easy to open a data file, view, process and plot. Compared to the alternatives (Excel, Matlab, Python), I find that Diadem handles large datasets as well as Matlab/Python well and has a clean and easy to use GUI like excel. I aslo find that the macro recording tools minimize the ammount of scripting needed to automate most batch processing. Overall, I find it a very usefull tool that isn't hard to pick up and mininimizes the overhead for novice programmers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I would prefer more examples and help with scripting. Using VBA scripting commands that are not able to be accessed by recording macros is sometimes cumbersome and requires a fair bit of research to use correctly. Additionally, automated processing of of multiple data sets using the same script involves a bit of a learning curve and could be simplified Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I like the possibilities there are a lot of signal analysis and other things Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The lack of easy ways to do batch evaluations and do the same for many channels and different files. If you should do filtering, weighting , integration and spectrum för one channel you normally want to do this for all channels in all files and the plot some of it out. This is complicated with diadem and involves a lot of programming . There are functions that can choose to process all channels and other that is not. My advice is to look at Sound and Vibration Assistant how it is solved there. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Importing data into DIAdem by GUI is very straightforward. Inbuilt plugins and the ability to create new plugins on the run proved to be very helpfull, especially in the early stage of solving a problem.
VIEWS section is exceptionally effective when analazining data. Works amazingly fast (comparing to excel) and doesnt require any coding nor commitment (comparing to MatLab).
VBS is very simple to learn and introduce other people to it. It also provides pretty much limitless functionalities. In-built analytic functions have good documentation with examples of usage. Writing your own code has a comfortable level of abstraction. Many goals can be achieved by diffrent approaches. You can choose whether to trust analytic functions or write your own implementation.

No backward compatibility.
Graphic designer for reports lacks any beautifying capabilities like aligning text boxes. Using values from channels in reports is messy. Reports are vulnerable to simple name changes. Generally, maintaining a report is more annoying than it should be.
VBS in DIAdem inherits all problems of the old programming language. No reliable way of debugging the code. Very crude and low-level way of handling exceptions. The nature of global channels makes it impossible to write self-contained functions. Objets seem to be just a coding sweetener - it is usually not actually beneficial to create SOLID units of code becouse it is neither faster nor more maintainable. Maybe some of these problems are fixed when you use new python code but it only works in the newest version and I can't accept this limitation right now. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The evaluation and visualization of large amounts of data works perfect Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Analysis via view function. Unfortunately, only the size of one signal can be displayed in the graph at a time Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Overall, DIAdem is very flexible and user-friendly. Specifically, the View and Report tabs, as well as the Math Tools and scripting environment, are great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The default color schemes of the plots! In the new DIAdem 2019, the default plot line color schemes are not good at all! It isn't easy to understand when you plot many channels with those color schemes. Also, when one loads multiple sets of data, it can get pretty overwhelming. So, maybe find better ways to streamline the user interface when one loads let's say, 20 sets of data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Easily understandable giving more rooms for the research industry. I have found DIAdem can be used even without any prior knowledge. All the features and the tools can be easily understandable. There is also description for each tools, which gives the customer a confident environment. By reading the description, it is very easy to understand the usage of each and every tools. Those who wants to learn the software, can learn very quickly by watching the tutorials provided by the developer of DIAdem. I would highly recommend this to any +one who is willing to try an amazing software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I really don't have any points as to say dislike. But definetely i believe that the future updates of DIAdem will bring more features and more varieties to the customers. One suggestion for the developer from my side would be to conduct more seminars or webinars on easy usage of this software. In my point of view, users could learn easily by watching a video tutorials or recorded webinars/seminars. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
