Amtech or NIC EIC software

Thomo junior · Oct 14, 2012

Has anyone got any recommendation if a should stick with the Amtech software or change to NIC EIC software.? Amtech is good for Design, cable calc but the test sheet are a pain to print onto Nic Eic sheets. With Nic Eic you can buy codes to go with there software but what's the rest like?

I would avoid PIRform used it for less than a year had errors and problems every time it was updated. Support took ages to fix the problem. Just blamed it on the machine I was using. Had same problem on 3 machines. Moved to NICEIC software and not had any trouble also has a great app for the ipad.
Save you money and just go for the NICEIC program it’s worth it in the long run

Interesting. Been using PIRform for nearly a year, one or 2 small issues, fixed within minutes or hours.

Clik (niceic) OK. Need to keep things simple personally, so it does the job and the Tech help is top notch if you've any problems. I suppose you get what you pay for.

I tried the trial of the NIC EIC stuff, didn't like it at all tbh. I like Tysoft Easycert personally and have heard nothing but good things about PIRForm. They are all probably much of a muchness.

Why not give the trial a go before parting with your cash?
