Ignition Cloud Edition Reviews

I work with ABB, and I work with Ignition Cloud Edition, WinCC, and SCADA specifically for control and automation processes in the plant.

For Ignition Cloud Edition, what we primarily use it for is our SCADA, which is an acronym for Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition. We use it to supervise and control activities in the plant, acquire data from the field in real time for monitoring, for visualization, and transformation of our plant processes.

We use the drag-and-drop interface in Ignition Cloud Edition, especially when we want to design the graphics or when we have a process we want to program. We do drag-and-drop to put the components, such as the slider for control and different functionalities.

Ignition Cloud Edition has streamlined our application development because it has almost the same user interface with ABB SCADA, WinCC SCADA, and other SCADA systems. The user interface is the same, so it was easy for me to quickly integrate. Ignition Cloud Edition offers more functionality and a more user-friendly interface.

The data we pull from the field using Ignition Cloud Edition allows us to analyze it. We have an Excel template where we pull this data, and then it helps us generate a bar chart or a pie chart, which we use to analyze the performance of our equipment in the field. It informs us about the frequency of alarms and the equipment with the highest number of alarms. We can analyze and determine which equipment is bringing a lot of alarms, indicating a need for preventive maintenance.

Due to the analytics and the real-time data we are able to pull using Ignition Cloud Edition, we are able to analyze, and we do not have to wait until an equipment breaks down. We can quickly carry out preventive maintenance instead of corrective maintenance.

What I love about Ignition Cloud Edition is the advantages and functionalities it has over other SCADA software. It has unlimited licensing compared to other SCADA software we have. The previous system we were using required a license for each of the tags used in the field, but for Ignition Cloud Edition, it is unlimited. One server license covers all tags. It also has a lot of functionalities, is web-based, and allows me to log in and access the plant, control, monitor, and visualize at any time, even from my mobile phone.

It is easily accessible because the old SCADA we were using has an OPC. OPC is a protocol for communication from the plant to the control room workstation. Through OPC UA, which is Universal Architecture, we are able to pull data and then integrate it into each of our devices.

A lot of benefits come from using Ignition Cloud Edition. It has an easy user interface, and we are able to add different tags with just one license for a server. It is OPC UA, which stands for Open Platform Unified Architecture. The previous systems we had were DA, which is Decentralized Architecture, but with UA, it offers more functionalities. We can get real-time data, and we can pull this data from our devices in the field in real time.

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.

I have been using Ignition Cloud Edition for two years or more.

Before Ignition Cloud Edition, I used ABB's 800xA SCADA, and then WinCC by Siemens SCADA.

The pricing aspect of Ignition Cloud Edition is actually on the high side. If the price can drop a bit, many plants could get it easily. I discussed this with a sister plant to mine, and they were asking about the licensing, so I directed them to the website for updates, but it has been a while since my plant purchased it. One person mentioned the advantages, especially that it is built on trusted IT standards such as SQL, Python, and MQTT, but he felt the price was too high.

Ignition Cloud Edition is worth the money. The larger companies can deploy it, but the upcoming companies are the ones having small complaints about the pricing. The large companies in my area find it fine.

In my organization, we have a gateway, and that is where we work with a FortiGate for the cybersecurity. The local network for the SCADA communicates to our national control center using a gateway server, and then on this server, we have Fortinet for cybersecurity. It is in between the plant and the outside communication to the national control center.

Ignition Cloud Edition comes with powerful, unlimited, and zero-install IDE. Unlike others, you need a lot of gigabytes and a lot of sizes to install on your device. Another advantage is that it is web-launched, meaning a client can log in to any device, whether a laptop, PC, or mobile phone. I was so amazed by this that I shared it on my LinkedIn profile picture. Everyone was messaging me, asking how I was using Ignition Cloud Edition. I was just sending them the link to the Inductive University training platform because there is a summary there. It is web-based and allows unlimited tags, clients, screens, connections, and so on, unlike ABB and WinCC where we had to buy licenses for each of our tags.

One last thing I love about Ignition Cloud Edition is that, unlike ABB and others, if you want to pull alarms or reporting, it is an independent application, but this one is universal and compact. In one licensed software, we are able to do alarming and reporting, while others require separate applications, separate licenses, and separate purchases.

My recommendation for others looking into implementing Ignition Cloud Edition is that they should adopt and deploy it. The reason is that it comes with powerful, unlimited resources and is web-launched, allowing log-in on any mobile device. You can work with a SCADA system on your mobile phone anywhere, within Nigeria, outside Nigeria, or anywhere. I would rate this product 9.5 out of 10.

I use Ignition Cloud Edition in industrial automation architectures that contain several sites that are separate from each other. For example, I took part in a project where we have several LNG storage and regasification units located in different locations throughout Brazil. Starting from Ignition Edge, we take this data and send it to the central SCADA in the cloud using Ignition.

Ignition Cloud Edition really helps because you end up centralizing all site data in a single place, and thus you can access it faster via the web from anywhere you are.

Ignition Cloud Edition has had a very positive impact on my organization. Before, I had a SCADA system for each plant, and that caused bottlenecks because I had to access each one individually. Today, by centralizing via the cloud, access is much faster.

Ignition Cloud Edition reduced costs both in terms of time. To access each system, you spent considerable time connecting to the VPN and so on. In an architecture where we have more than 100 clients, this was detrimental and took a lot of time.

The best features that Ignition Cloud Edition offers are the ease of developing screens for the web interface. In addition, the native support feature for OPC-UA, the Modbus part, and the ease of integration via MQTT are valuable. A classic differentiator of Ignition is that it has its unlimited version, which doesn't charge for tags, clients, screens, or connections, which many other systems do charge for.

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. That is a negative point that could be improved.

I believe it is still a bit difficult in terms of development, since with Ignition, to develop you need a bit of knowledge of technologies that are outside traditional automation, such as Python and HTML for screen development.

I have been using Ignition Cloud Edition for almost two years.

Ignition Cloud Edition has not experienced any stability issues.

Ignition Cloud Edition has not experienced any scalability issues.

Customer support for Ignition Cloud Edition is very good, including the knowledge page and the courses offered for free.

Previously, I used GE iFIX in each plant. Now, instead, I use a centralized Ignition Cloud Edition.

The initial setup was completed.

A partner handled the implementation.

The prices for Ignition Cloud Edition were very affordable, compared to other traditional SCADA systems.

I evaluated Elipse here in Brazil. However, I realized that it was not as advanced as Ignition.

I would recommend using Ignition Cloud Edition because of the ease of integration with the advancement of artificial intelligence. I gave this review a rating of 9.

Microsoft Azure

My main use case for Ignition Cloud Edition involves agriculture projects for farms.

In an agriculture project, we are using the Cirrus Link modules in Ignition for publishing and subscribing to the Ignition server from the different farms, which is the main point of using MQTT. I then push the data to the cloud using Snowflake, a Snowflake solution from a strategic partner with Ignition for cloud systems and data management.

I have another project for wind turbines using the MQTT solution from Ignition and pushing it to the cloud using Snowflake.

The best features Ignition Cloud Edition offers include a seamless and easy-to-learn solution. 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 community of Inductive Automation and the support you receive is really strong.

The ease of use and cost-effectiveness of Ignition Cloud Edition benefit my projects since it is not complicated compared to other platforms and solutions, and it is reliable with no significant technical issues. If issues do arise, you can find help within minutes or hours at most. Regarding cost, there is no need to count a lot of parameters to know how much you will pay for your license; you just buy some modules if you need data management, leading to a structured and clear path of what you are paying for. I have experience with other solutions from different vendors, and it is hard to understand their licensing and costs.

Ignition Cloud Edition positively impacts my organization by adding these kinds of projects to our portfolio with Inductive Automation as a contractor, helping us secure similar projects in the future.

Ignition Cloud Edition saves time and the client is satisfied with the solution, and we wish to secure more contracts in the future.

Ignition Cloud Edition is fine as it is; it is perfect for my current needs.

I would suggest adding a separate course in Inductive Automation at Inductive University for Ignition Cloud Edition itself.

I have been using Ignition Cloud Edition for about three years on different projects.

Ignition Cloud Edition is stable.

Ignition Cloud Edition's scalability is easy because of the clear streamline for pushing data and the ease of scaling up with user-defined types working on the MQTT and Sparkplug protocols, all contributing to easy system scalability.

The customer support for Ignition Cloud Edition is perfect.

I worked with a client who previously used a different solution but suffered from its complexity, which gives me insight into how the end-user perceives such approaches. Complex solutions can lead to problems over time and hinder scaling up due to subscription costs and complexity. Ignition offers a powerful platform with cost-effective prices.

My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing is good; they offer competitive pricing and the client was happy with it.

Although I cannot share specific metrics, I know it is cost-effective and allows the contractor to provide a competitive quotation, which helped us win the contract, add to our portfolio, and keep the client happy with the product.

Before choosing Ignition Cloud Edition, I evaluated other options, including the AVEVA solution with the cloud and AVEVA Connect for sharing the SCADA system to the cloud. During this evaluation for a client, we analyzed the market and selected a couple of solutions that fit the client best, where Ignition competed with AVEVA. Ultimately, the client continued with AVEVA due to existing integrations and concerns about making a significant change, although they respect both Ignition and AVEVA.

My advice for others looking into using Ignition Cloud Edition is to design the system very well, ensuring expertise in building it. It is important to pay for the highest level of support in the first year in case of any difficulties.

Ignition Cloud Edition's accuracy and reliability of output for its AI capabilities will be very reliable and accurate due to the integration with the different MCPs, and day after day, my confidence in the solution increases. I gave Ignition Cloud Edition a rating of nine out of ten.

My main use case for Ignition Cloud Edition is regarding the customer deployment of these Ignition Cloud Edition projects when they do not want to install on the on-premises servers.

My main use case for Ignition Cloud Edition is for customers that do not want to use on-premises-based services, and they want to use the pre-bundled module set, which comes with pre-loaded core high-level modules including Perspective, SQL Bridge, Tag Historian, Enterprise Administration Module, reporting, alarm notification, and Mongo DB integration. Rather than purchasing a traditional perpetual license, Ignition Cloud Edition is deployed directly via cloud marketplaces like AWS and Azure using a pay-as-you-go or user-based model and also has native MQTT and cloud connectivity, featuring native MQTT engine, transmission, and distributor modules by Cirrus Link to easily stream IoT data from local edge devices like Ignition Edge directly into the cloud. Its elasticity and enterprise analytics allow taking advantage of cloud infrastructure to scale and store dynamically for massive data historian and connect operational data directly to cloud-native tools like machine learning, AI, and big data pipelines.

The best features I have observed with Ignition Cloud Edition include the pre-bundled module set, being a cloud-native manufacturer where you do not have to pay for a license, and the reliance on OPC-UA, MQTT, or gateways to get data instead of direct PLC drivers. Additionally, it offers a cloud-based micro-subscription model where you can pay-as-you-go without the maintenance of any hardware.

The cloud-based micro-subscription and the fact that I do not have to maintain hardware have definitely affected my day-to-day work positively, as I often require global access with teams recording from different locations. When Ignition Cloud Edition and the gateway are installed on the cloud, everyone can access it based on the user role assigned, making it easier and more flexible, especially for projects involving multiple time zones. Furthermore, not having to worry about server crashes enhances reliability.

Ignition Cloud Edition has positively impacted my organization by allowing us to get more projects and also increasing our revenue. I can share that we have experienced around a five to six percent increase in revenue based on adding Ignition Cloud Edition platform to our services.

Improvements for Ignition Cloud Edition should include the addition of more traditional PLCs-based drivers.

I would also suggest that they might launch future Ignition Cloud Edition-based services, eliminating the need to rely solely on AWS, allowing Ignition Cloud Edition to perhaps manage that independently.

I have been using Ignition Cloud Edition for more than three years.

Ignition Cloud Edition is very stable.

The scalability of Ignition Cloud Edition is impressive because it allows for multiple licenses and users, making it comparable to other cloud services such as AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud, without the worry of scaling issues.

The customer support for Ignition Cloud Edition is quite good; whenever we have a call or send a message, we receive a reply within one to two days.

I have not previously used any other solutions similar to Ignition Cloud Edition.

I have seen a return on investment in terms of saved time and money, achieving savings around five to six percent and we are still exploring options for more improvements.

My experience with pricing, setup costs, and licensing was quite good, as it was straightforward based on how many machines, what kind of hardware we wanted to use, and how many users were needed.

Before choosing Ignition Cloud Edition, we did not evaluate other options as we were already long-time partners of Ignition and were confident in its standard and robust capabilities; thus, no other options were a good fit for us.

My advice to others considering Ignition Cloud Edition is to proceed with it, especially if you prefer not to have on-premises applications, as it is a very good tool.

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.

Regarding Ignition Cloud Edition's governance and security, I find them to be reliable, as we have standard security and governance protocols implemented.

In terms of Ignition Cloud Edition's AI capabilities, I rate its accuracy between seventy to eighty percent, noting that some data outputs are incorrect, indicating it is not one hundred percent reliable, so it requires verification against actual flow data.

One project that stands out in my experience with Ignition Cloud Edition for a customer deployment relates to warehouse management, where I have been using Ignition Cloud Edition on the Amazon Web Services server with the customer having to pay based on the pay-per-use model, dependent on how much information needs to be processed and how many clients need access, rather than based on a standard license.

I have worked on Ignition Cloud Edition for almost six months. Mainly, I wanted to learn it, so it was a learning phase. I haven't used it at an application level.

My main use case for Ignition Cloud Edition, even if it's just in my learning phase, was that it is a very interesting cloud platform. It was very much feasible. It can interface to multiple types of controllers and also with RTUs. I see that its application can be used in other applications which is much more comfortable than other available platforms. It is very easy to use and very easy to interface.

I had a controller of Schneider TM2 series, so I tried to interface it with Ignition Cloud Edition platform during a trial version, and it was much more comfortable. The design part impressed me very much. The standardization of colors, the availability of different Symbols and other things, made it much easier. The tagging and taking the data from the controller was easier.

Till now, I have tried to do some simple projects on my own. I haven't applied it anywhere but I tried to create an assembly line simulation. I have simulated an assembly line scenario and have tried to make an IG system.

Based on my experience, the best features Ignition Cloud Edition offers include good connectivity and the availability of all the controllers. I can also create a mobile platform. The integration was pretty easy. Whatever I created in the cloud, I can also see in the mobile platform much more easily if I have a tab or such interfcaeThe integration seems pretty nice with good resolution.

The user interface of Ignition Cloud Edition, which I found interesting, is pretty much neat and doesn't have bloatware. It is similar to what I have seen in DCS, but it is much easier. Regarding scalability, Ignition can be scaled to any extent. I can use it for smaller purposes as well as integrated projects. It seems easy to start with a small part of the assembly line initially and then build it to cover the entire assembly line. I can even integrate it with the MES system and ERPs and other parameter monitoring systems available now. 

I feel that I'm still in the learning phase regarding Ignition Cloud Edition, but my concern is about cybersecurity. Those who use Ignition Cloud Edition extensively may have sufficient security, but since it's a cloud platform, the chances of countering cybersecurity attacks will be a major concern. Since everything is under a single node, how many layers of security there are will be a concern.

I have been working in my current field for nine to ten years.

Although I have not used Ignition Cloud Edition in an organizational environment, I spent time learning and exploring the platform on my own. Based on that experience, I found it to be a capable and modern solution that offers the flexibility of cloud deployment while reducing the need for managing on-premises infrastructure. The platform appears well-designed and provides a strong foundation for industrial automation and visualization projects.

Advice for Organizations Considering Ignition Cloud Edition:

I would recommend that organizations thoroughly evaluate their requirements, integration needs, and long-term scalability goals before adopting Ignition Cloud Edition. Running a pilot project or proof of concept can help validate performance, usability, and compatibility with existing systems. Organizations should also consider factors such as network reliability, security requirements, and cloud-related costs. Based on my learning experience, Ignition Cloud Edition appears to be a promising option for companies seeking a flexible and scalable industrial software platform.

When I first consider Ignition Cloud Edition, the first word that comes to my mind is flexibility. I developed an entire SCADA platform to monitor my site, focusing on maintenance of PLCs and DCS hardware. This allows us to collect maintenance data from the controllers in the field.

We have many controllers in the field, including Siemens controllers, Rockwell controllers, and DeltaV controllers. All these controllers have diagnostics from the card, from the point in the card, such as digital input, output inputs, analog outputs, and analog inputs. Every point of the controller and every IO has a diagnostic, and I used Ignition Cloud Edition to send this data to the cloud.

The platform has also improved scalability and flexibility, making it easier to expand our applications as business needs evolve. Remote access capabilities have enhanced visibility into operations and enabled faster response times for troubleshooting and decision-making. Additionally, the centralized management and high availability of the cloud environment have contributed to increased system reliability and reduced downtime.

One of the best features that Ignition Cloud Edition offers is the combination of industrial automation and modern software architecture. Traditionally, when we think about industrial automation, we think about PLCs, SCADA systems, local servers, HMIs, historians, and all of that is still extremely important.

The combination of industrial automation and modern software architecture in Ignition Cloud Edition has benefited my projects by providing improved scalability and flexibility for analytics data, dashboards, centralized data, and remote visibility.

Regarding the features of Ignition Cloud Edition, I really value the development environment. For me, a dashboard should be more than just a collection of numbers; it should tell you something. For example, if I'm looking at a production board or a dashboard, I don't just want to see production numbers; I want to understand if production is on target, if the process is stable, and other relevant factors.

Ignition Cloud Edition has had a very positive impact on our organization, especially in the way we access and use industrial data. One of the biggest benefits is that it allows us to create more centralized and accessible applications.

Centralized access through Ignition Cloud Edition has improved collaboration between automation engineering, operations, and management, as everyone can access the information they need from a different perspective depending on their role.

From my perspective, one area that Ignition Cloud Edition could be improved is the learning curve. Ignition Cloud Edition is powerful, and that is a good thing, but because it is powerful, there is a lot to learn. If you are new to the platform, you have to understand tags, databases, scripting, perspective, security, alarms, historical data, gateways, and many other concepts, which can be overwhelming for someone starting from zero. I would love to see even more guided experiences for new users.

I have been using Ignition Cloud Edition for almost three or four years before I changed my job recently.

Is Ignition Cloud Edition stable? Can you please elaborate?

Ignition Cloud Edition scales very well. As our requirements grow, we can add users, applications, and operational data without the need for significant infrastructure changes. The cloud-based architecture reduces the complexity of expansion, shortens deployment times, and provides flexibility to support future growth while maintaining reliability and performance.

We have had a positive experience with customer service and technical support. The team has been responsive, knowledgeable, and effective in resolving issues. Combined with strong documentation and community resources, the support experience has helped us deploy and maintain the platform successfully.

Yes, we previously used an on-premises SCADA solution. We decided to switch to Ignition Cloud Edition to reduce the infrastructure maintenance burden, improve scalability, and simplify system management.

The initial setup was straightforward and easier than a traditional on-premises deployment. The cloud-based architecture minimized infrastructure-related tasks, allowing us to focus on application configuration and integration. Overall, deployment was fast, efficient, and required less IT effort than a self-managed environment.

We did not use an external integrator, reseller, or consultant for the deployment. The implementation was completed internally by our team. The setup process was straightforward, and we were able to leverage our existing knowledge and resources to deploy and configure the platform successfully.

Examples of ROI include reduced time spent on server administration, faster deployment of new applications, simplified system updates, and lower infrastructure costs. These improvements have helped reduce total cost of ownership while increasing the efficiency of both operations and support teams.

We found the pricing and licensing model to be straightforward and predictable. Setup costs were lower than a traditional on-premises deployment because there was less infrastructure to manage and maintain. Overall, the platform provides good value by reducing IT overhead, simplifying administration, and offering the scalability needed to support future growth.

Before choosing Ignition Cloud Edition, we evaluated Ignition on-premises deployments, AWS-hosted architectures, and other traditional SCADA platforms. While these solutions provided similar core functionality, Ignition Cloud Edition stood out because of its simplified deployment, reduced infrastructure overhead, and ease of scaling. The platform provided a faster path to implementation while maintaining the flexibility and capabilities we needed for industrial operations.

The impact on our daily operations and maintenance workflow is significant because the operators or the company that does the maintenance can see an overall summary of the controls in the field, such as controller five, card fifty, input eight, allowing us to see the macro view.

Ignition Cloud Edition has made it easier to perform maintenance.

Regarding Ignition Cloud Edition's capabilities, I feel that it provides a strong foundation for security and governance. I wouldn't say that it removes all cybersecurity concerns, but it gives us a more structured platform to build on, which I believe is one of the important advantages of the cloud approach, as we can focus more on the application and the business or process problem while still having a professional infrastructure underneath it.

From a governance perspective, Ignition Cloud Edition also helps us control who can access applications and data and how that access is managed.

I would rate this product a ten.

My main use case for Ignition Cloud Edition was to view Tyson food plants' beef slaughter lines where they took care of the cattle. I use Ignition Cloud Edition to show the lines and all the systems and send alerts and statuses to the database.

A specific example of how I used it in that context is if there was an issue with the way a part of a cow was sliced or skinned, it would alert my phone for the admin.

The best features Ignition Cloud Edition offers are the ability to set alerts on a system and access that remotely.

Ignition Cloud Edition has positively impacted my organization as they do a ton of their work with it. They do almost all their work with it.

I think Ignition Cloud Edition could be more intuitive on how to use it.

When I'm trying to accomplish something, I pretty much have to have the certification to really know how to get it done or look it up.

I have been using Ignition Cloud Edition for about three months total.

Ignition Cloud Edition is stable.

I am not too informed on Ignition Cloud Edition's scalability, but I would say it's pretty good because it's used for a very large system.

The customer support for Ignition Cloud Edition is good. I had an issue, and I reached out to Ignition Cloud Edition and they responded in a timely manner.

I would rate the customer support as a nine on a scale of one to ten.

My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing is that I was an intern, so I do not really know.

My advice to others looking into using Ignition Cloud Edition is to get the certification or licensing.

On-premises

I am using Ignition for systems, making systems, monitoring, and ticketing systems.

Ignition offers me unlimited features such as limited tags, which is very helpful, as well as unlimited users, which is also very helpful. Those are the two main advantages that stand out more than any other software. Ignition gives you the blank paper to dream it, reach it, and draw whatever you need. There is a lot of customization you can make if you have the right skills for that.

Ignition has positively impacted my organization by offering a price advantage compared with other software. Once I have the ability to build the program or product with Ignition, I can leave other products from any competitor company, giving me a lot of benefits and a lot of customization options. It provides the ability, at a lower price, to make the best advantages and best practices for everything, and in the end, I own it.

Ignition already has a lot of improvements through the variants of versions, such as the last version disabling the MCP and building views through the APIs, which I think is a very big move for Ignition. The Ignition teams make a lot of effort. Additionally, while I cannot mention everything right now, I can say that there is a need that customers express in the Ignition forum. If you need it, I think you can create it or scrape it from the web directly. For me, I do not see anything as a weak point; I think I have the ability to do the custom modules and Ignition gives me that ability. I am not the only one; I am talking about developers in general, as I think they provide us with a lot of tools to meet our needs.

I have been using Ignition itself, whether in the cloud or not, for four and a half years.

Ignition is, in my experience, 100% stable with great availability if you pick the right solution and build it on a strong foundation.

Ignition is scalable, and it has been able to grow with my needs, as I mentioned before. If I pick the right architecture, it would be great; for example, if I have a lot of sites, I go for edges for collecting data and sending it to the main. If I have many users, I split them to get the front end and back end. If I have IoT needs, I bring the MQTT in and implement it, so there is a lot of customization I can make. I think Ignition is the best way for scalability, 100%.

For customer support, I have reached out, and I rate it 100%. The support I receive is very fast and clear, and they do not let you go until the problem is resolved. The Ignition forum is a very good resource. For technical tickets or issues, once I create one, I find very good support.

Ignition University provides everyone with all the materials needed to do amazing work. For someone considering Ignition Cloud Edition, I think it is not bad, but honestly, I see it as overpriced. That is a problem for me. I think the last thing I should mention, and I already mentioned it, is to look again at the price. I rate this review a 10.

My main use case for Ignition Cloud Edition is to create customer projects related to food and beverage and automotive industries.

One of the projects where I used Ignition Cloud Edition is related to a glass company. I used Ignition Cloud Edition to create this project, and in that, I employed multiple Ignition tools to create dashboards and fetch data and push it through via OPC UA.

In another project for a battery manufacturing company customer, I used Ignition Cloud Edition to fetch data and create machine learning models. I used the machine learning models to implement predictive maintenance of the devices and then display that data using Ignition Cloud Edition by creating Perspective modules and screens.

The best features Ignition Cloud Edition offers include a cloud-based solution so I don't need to install it locally. I can use this cloud edition directly, share the link, and benefit from better security.

I find myself relying on the easy sharing feature the most, and that is the biggest feature that has made a difference in my work.

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. This makes the process much faster and quicker.

Ignition Cloud Edition can be improved if the features inside the cloud edition support multiple other cloud platforms, as that would be a beneficial feature.

The accuracy of Ignition Cloud Edition is not very great, and reliability also needs improvement. I believe better models should be included to have better artificial intelligence capabilities.

I would like to see more specific improvements in future updates.

I have been using Ignition Cloud Edition for two years and more.

Others looking into using Ignition Cloud Edition should go ahead because it is good to use, fast, and reliable. I would rate this product an 8 out of 10.

On-premises

Microsoft Azure

I spin up an instance of Ignition Cloud Edition and simulate a bunch of tags and record them in a separate database.

All the amazing features of regular edition are available in Ignition Cloud Edition, but you don't have to worry about the hardware side of things.

Ignition Cloud Edition is the perfect match for a cloud-based database. Both the database and Ignition can be set up very easily without any hardware, and reliability and high availability are always there, built in. The connections are easy to make.

Ignition Cloud Edition itself functions well, but Ignition in general has some things that could be improved, and the cloud edition also has those same issues. The way the historian is set up is not conducive to large deployments and it makes querying the data challenging.

I have been using Ignition Cloud Edition for a couple of weeks.

Ignition Cloud Edition is stable.

Ignition Cloud Edition's scalability is amazing.

The customer support for Ignition Cloud Edition is amazing. I would rate the customer support for Ignition Cloud Edition as a 10.

I have used many different solutions, and the only reason I switched is because I am trying to test it out.

Ignition Cloud Edition was very easy to set up. Both the database and Ignition can be set up very easily without any hardware, and reliability and high availability are always there, built in. The connections are easy to make.

This was a test deployment for Ignition Cloud Edition, so there are not any measurable results.

The pricing, setup cost, and licensing are all amazing.

Ignition Cloud Edition is an amazing product, but there is always room for improvement, which is why I gave it a rating of 9 instead of a 10. I recommend trying out the on-prem edition of Ignition Cloud Edition. The improvements I would suggest are for regular Ignition, which relate to Ignition Cloud Edition.
