	FactoryTalk: Pros & Cons from Real Users Pros Simple design for complicated process. Best overall tech support skill I've ever seen. Perhaps the most extensive libraries. Native integration is fantastic. Cons Rigid in it's implementation. Tech support is a subscription fee. DataLogging is very mediocre below the enterprise level. Enterprise level has perhaps the highest overall cost associated with it.
