Experimental Physics and Industrial Control System
Hello Gorka,
I'm sure you've seen how hard it is to find people who know both systems
well enough to comment intelligently and comparatively. I know very
little about TANGO.
Probably you've already seen the following links, which seem to me to be
reasonably objective, and at least partially relevant to your question:

I've been using EPICS for a long time -- since around 1994. I like it.
I like it a lot. It's fun to work with, and I've been able to do what
I've wanted to do with it, though at times I've waited for new features
to be added, and at times I've written code that departs from guidelines.
I've gotten a lot of help from other EPICS developers, I've used a *lot*
of other people's code, and I've been able to find people who already
knew enough about EPICS to begin working with it immediately.

Hello,
My name is Gorka Ronda. I’m working as a R & D engineer in a Spanish
company called JEMA.
We are considering using EPICS or TANGO with a control target designed
by us, but we are new in the control systems area. The idea is to
monitor a plant remotely and control all the equipment there, like in
synchrotrons. We have been studying both control systems, but we would
like to have opinions about, from people who have experience with them.
Why use EPICS? Or why use TANGO? What are differences between them? What
is EPICS/TANGO better for?
I will much appreciate any kind of information you can bring me in
relation to that. Don’t hesitate to ask any questions you may need to
answer me. If you want you can answer me directly to my email.
Thanks in advance.
