Cloud monitoring has transformed real-time plant control and automated preventive maintenance
There is always room for improvement, and at the moment, I am on the good side. I do not really have a bad side of it or anything that I would like to see changed; I love what I see and I love what I use. One feature that comes to my mind as missing in Ignition Cloud Edition is the user graphics in the user interface. The graphics in the user interface, such as the slider or the shapes for the equipment, can be improved upon. When I am selecting a tank, I should see a real tank, or when I am selecting a breaker, it should look like a real breaker in the field, or a valve or a sensor or a slider. Every other feature, such as the graphs and charts, are cool.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The platform's most effective feature is quickly recovering virtual instances into a separate environment."
"Ignition Cloud Edition has positively impacted my organization by allowing us to get more projects and also increasing our revenue."
"Both the database and Ignition can be set up very easily without any hardware, and reliability and high availability are always there, built in."
"What I love about Ignition Cloud Edition is the advantages and functionalities it has over other SCADA software."
"Ignition Cloud Edition has positively impacted my organization by enabling sharing so that projects can be shared without everyone having to access them through manual file sharing."
"Ignition platform is a general, powerful platform that is easy to use and cost-effective, where in most cases, you pay one time for your license and then use it forever."
"The best features Ignition Cloud Edition offers are the ability to set alerts on a system and access that remotely."
"Ignition gives you the blank paper to dream it, reach it, and draw whatever you need."
"Ignition Cloud Edition has had a very positive impact on our organization, especially in the way we access and use industrial data."
 

Cons

"They could add more intelligence features in the workflow through automation."
"I think Ignition Cloud Edition could be more intuitive on how to use it."
"Ignition Cloud Edition can be improved in the sense that it doesn't come with some drivers in the Cloud version. For example, local device drivers are not included, and you always need a local Ignition Edge there."
"For someone considering Ignition Cloud Edition, I think it is not bad, but honestly, I see it as overpriced."
"My concern is about cybersecurity. Since it's a cloud platform, the chances of countering cybersecurity attacks will be a major concern."
"The accuracy of Ignition Cloud Edition is not very great, and reliability also needs improvement."
"The way the historian is set up is not conducive to large deployments and it makes querying the data challenging."
"The pricing aspect of Ignition Cloud Edition is actually on the high side."
"Ignition Cloud Edition reflects that it is still missing some driver options and we require a more cost-effective solution, which is why I rate it an eight on a scale of one to ten."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The additional cost is cloud storage, which the public cloud provider charges."
