### "TIA Portal is the gateway to Controls and Automation" — 5.0/5

> **John** | *19 January 2023* | Logistics & Supply Chain | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Every version continues to amaze me as it builds on the greatness from the previous one.  It holds true compatibility through the versions and can easily update to the latest version.  It integrates visualisation easily.  The safety coding is straightforward and offers great options of commissioning including a safety override commissioning mode from version 17.  The software is like a Swiss army knife, if you want the function it is there and powerful yet easy to use.
> 
> **Cons**: The only downside of TIA Portal is that it would be great if it were easier to convert projects from S7 classic easier, but hey I guess you can't expect it to do everything for me.
> 
> I have found no matter how complex the situation or challenge that TIA Portal has a way of being able to create a controls solution.  It is the Control Engineers Swiss Army Knife.

### "Powerful, but painful" — 2.0/5

> **Glenn** | *30 October 2025* | Chemicals | Recommendation rating: 2.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: It is a comprehensive integrated platform with a lot of power.  It's a bit complicated and kind of an antiquated UI look and feel.
> 
> **Cons**: Lots of issues installing it and upgrading licenses.  Have to jump through a lot of hoops, and run into errors along the way.  Took 20+ hours to sort out.  Completely unacceptable.
> 
> OK when it's working.  Can be a little complicated until you get to know it.  The UI reminds me of software from 25 years ago.  Not so user friendly.

### "User friendly and good investment" — 4.0/5

> **Verified Reviewer** | *26 March 2021* | Industrial Automation | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: As the name specifies "Totally integrated Automation", TIA portal throughout the journey to V15 and beyond has actually realized the concept envisioned for its creation and even if you are a beginner or a seasoned professional, TIA Portal is all you need to open in your computer whole day, many workdays .
While some might say is not as user friendly as some other software,  people using TIA portal will differ, because of substantial improvement in every version.
There's announcement from Siemens for Cause and effect matrix 's direct input option, which will be a game changer and will reduce the programming time significantly.
> 
> **Cons**: Bulkiness, toll it takes on the hardware, but then of course for running a industry grade software suite you need good hardware.
> 
> Countless plants automated using TIA Portal, worked remotely on machines just as if I were present at site, Energy Suite integration enabled energy management and savings at various times.

### "A great software to carry out industrial automation work" — 5.0/5

> **Bruno** | *14 November 2023* | Industrial Automation | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Tia portal is a software where we can carry out programming projects for PLC's, motors, HMI, etc. It has tools that will help you and facilitate the programming work at your convenience, everything is done with a programmed language. If you like automation from experience, I recommend this software that will be useful to get started in this world of PLC programming.
> 
> **Cons**: Tia portal is a very good software, which receives constant updates, so it does not pose any inconvenience when programming. As a recommendation, it is better to install the software on a high-end PC for a better experience.
