About AVEVA
AVEVA provides software for industries including energy, infrastructure, and manufacturing, with capabilities for secure data sharing across an industrial ecosystem.
How to evaluate Manufacturing & IoT
CIOPages Research Team evaluation frameworks for this category — not an assessment of AVEVA. This category covers two kinds of product, so both frameworks are shown; buyers usually need one of them.
25%
Device & Fleet Management at Scale
Zero-touch provisioning and onboarding, secure over-the-air (OTA) firmware and config updates with staged rollout and rollback, device registry and digital shadow/twin, certificate lifecycle, and proven operation at your target device count, not the demo’s
20%
Connectivity & OT / Protocol Coverage
MQTT, HTTP, LwM2M and AMQP support; industrial protocols (OPC–UA, Modbus, MQTT Sparkplug) and PLC/historian connectors; cellular (LTE–M, NB–IoT, 5G), LPWAN, and global SIM/eSIM management; brownfield gateway and edge-broker options
15%
Edge Processing & Autonomy
Edge runtime for local compute, stream processing, and ML inference; store-and-forward during disconnection; edge-to-cloud orchestration and remote deployment of edge workloads; footprint from gateway-class down to constrained “tiny edge” devices
15%
Security & Compliance
Per-device identity and mutual TLS, hardware root of trust / secure element support, fleet-wide credential rotation, anomaly detection on device behavior, RBAC and audit logging on the console, and SOC 2 / ISO 27001 / IEC 62443 coverage
15%
Platform Longevity & Openness
Vendor financial footing and strategic commitment to IoT, install base and roadmap cadence, reliance on open standards over proprietary lock-in, contractual data-export and device-migration guarantees, and a credible answer to “what happens to my fleet if you exit?”
10%
Application Enablement & Analytics
Low-code app builder and dashboards, prebuilt vertical/industry apps, time-series storage and rules engine, AI/ML and generative-AI tooling on device data, and clean APIs into your data lake, ERP, and field-service systems
25%
Production Execution & Manufacturing-Type Fit
Whether the core model is discrete (work orders, routings, serialization, as-built genealogy), process (recipes, batches, electronic batch records, dispensing/weigh-and-dispense), or genuinely hybrid; order dispatch and WIP tracking; in-line and at-line quality checks; and how much of your scenario is standard configuration versus custom code
20%
OT & Equipment Connectivity (ISA-95 L1–L2)
Native protocol coverage (OPC UA, MQTT, SECS/GEM for semiconductor/electronics, Modbus), PLC/SCADA and historian integration, edge data collection, store-and-forward when the network drops, and depth of fit with your automation brand rather than a generic driver
18%
ERP & Enterprise Integration (ISA-95 L4)
Bidirectional flow of orders, BOMs/recipes, materials, and confirmations with your ERP (especially SAP S/4HANA or Oracle); standards support (ISA-95/B2MML); APIs and event/messaging; and whether master data is shared or re-keyed across the Level 3–Level 4 boundary
17%
Quality, Compliance & Traceability
End-to-end genealogy and forward/backward traceability for recall, electronic records and signatures (FDA 21 CFR Part 11, EU Annex 11), device history records, nonconformance and CAPA handling, audit trails, and validation/qualification support (GAMP 5) for regulated plants
12%
Multi-Site Scalability & Deployment Model
Governed templates and central change distribution across plants, local variation without forking, cloud / on-prem / hybrid and edge options, plant-level resilience if the cloud or WAN is unavailable, and performance at real transaction and device volumes
8%
Operator & Engineer Usability, Extensibility
Shop-floor UX operators will actually use (touch, gloves, kiosks, multilingual), low-code/no-code configuration of work instructions and workflows, who can make changes (vendor vs. your engineers), and analytics/OEE and connected-worker tooling on top
