Proficy HMI/SCADA - CIMPLICITY Overview

What is Proficy HMI/SCADA - CIMPLICITY?

Proficy CIMPLICITY is on-premise HMI/SCADA software that provides industrial organizations with centralized visualization, control, and data acquisition capabilities for complex manufacturing and infrastructure operations. Designed for large plants, multi-line operations, and industrial environments requiring high reliability and customization, CIMPLICITY enables users to monitor processes, collect data from connected assets, and drive faster, more informed decisions through continuous visualization and control logic execution. The software supports supervisory control across distributed systems and integrates with a wide range of automation equipment and protocols. Engineers and operations teams use CIMPLICITY to increase process visibility, minimize downtime, and standardize control across machines, lines, and facilities. Its extensibility and scripting capabilities make it suitable for demanding applications across manufacturing, utilities, and infrastructure industries. Key capabilities include: • Centralized SCADA control and visualization for complex or multi-line environments • Built-in historian and alarm management tools to improve uptime and incident response • Open architecture and protocol support, enabling integration with PLCs, RTUs, and third-party systems • Flexible deployment and security options for alignment with enterprise IT and OT standards • High-performance HMI development tools to create intuitive operator interfaces and system dashboards CIMPLICITY is commonly used in high speed discrete manufacturing, automotive and critical infrastructure projects like Transportation and Power Generation where operational reliability, customization, and scalability are critical. With features that support redundancy, failover, and domain-level authentication, CIMPLICITY provides a foundation for secure and scalable industrial control across edge-to-core environments. It can also be extended with companion solutions such as enterprise historian, remote operations hubs, and analytics platforms for broader digital transformation initiatives.

What do you like best about Proficy HMI/SCADA - CIMPLICITY?

I can't say about the features are best but quite fair as compared to others.

Graphics library is appreciable. And animation provision is helpful. Other competitor platforms are much better in terms of screen update rate, GUI interface of development platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Proficy HMI/SCADA - CIMPLICITY?

I had a issue while integration with B&R OPC. The issue ID was Generic due to which we were unable to resolve the issue.

So they need to work on bug fixing and add details to errors so that consumers can find it user friendly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Proficy HMI/SCADA - CIMPLICITY solving and how is that benefiting you?

I personally prefer other Platforms over Cimplicity, due to their user Friendly environment and easy to integrate properties. Being a Developer this POV is reserved to myself. But selection of platform totally depends upon end user. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Proficy HMI/SCADA - CIMPLICITY?

The way Cimplicity allows users to configure various states for text boxes (color, text, font, blinking, etc) is very robust and in fact essential for machine control in my company.

Proficy WebSpace has also proven to be an invaluable resource for monitoring our machines that are spread out in various physical locations Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Proficy HMI/SCADA - CIMPLICITY?

While at one point the Cimplicity platform supported direct connection to Rockwell PLCs that functionality has been left by the wayside and hasn't worked for a few generations of Rockwell PLCs. As a result OPC frameworks have to be used to establish that connection.

Cimplicity's ability to reconnect to a PLC after losing communication is also lacking. I generally have to resort to stopping and restarting the project to re-establish that connection unless I want to wait several minutes for the active project to re-establish on its own Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Proficy HMI/SCADA - CIMPLICITY:

Although the software definitely has some limitations, overall I have been pleased with its functionality and usability. A lot of our machines are using old GE PLCs so Cimplicity meets our needs. However, if I had a blank slate with the ability to choose any HMI package for controlling our machines I would not choose Cimplicity. I would instead opt for something that integrated better with more than just GE PLCs and was more scalable. . Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Proficy HMI/SCADA - CIMPLICITY solving and how is that benefiting you?

In my company we use Cimplicity for controlling a number of different testing machines and interacting with different databases at various points before, during, and after a test. Cimplicity makes this interaction easy and reliable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
