What are the best aspects of this product?
Nothing worth noting as far as "best aspects." Most features seem dodgy at best. For smaller scale projects this software may serve its purpose, but once your scope goes beyond a single tool everything goes sideways.
What aspects are problematic or could work better?
The fact that one incorrectly mapped tag (between HMI and PLC) will break multiple other tag connections without any clear indication of which ones and why is an endless source of frustration. The software will also randomly choose which features will or will not work in a given day. One day, it might be your ability to save screens. While on another day you may lose your ability to copy/paste elements.
What features/services would you like to see in future versions of this product?
The ability to have multiple instances of the software open simultaneously would be an immense improvement.
