System engineer at Alliance4u
Automated deployments have saved days and create hardened, SELinux-compliant environments
The best features offered by AlmaLinux 8 (Alma Linux 8) | Support by SupportedImages are the ability to use Kickstart files, which allows the installation of the operating system and applications to be done automatically, making deployment and customization for clients easier. This deployment automation has helped me concretely in my projects by saving time and improving efficiency. Before using AlmaLinux 8 (Alma Linux 8) | Support by SupportedImages, we used another operating system and had to deploy the operating system and then return to the machine to install each of our applications and verify that everything worked properly. With the Kickstart file and everything related to hardening and SELinux, the process is much faster and more efficient.

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.

"Both the database and Ignition can be set up very easily without any hardware, and reliability and high availability are always there, built in."
"Ignition gives you the blank paper to dream it, reach it, and draw whatever you need."
"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."
"Ignition Cloud Edition has had a very positive impact on my organization."
"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, and I see that its application can be used in other applications which is much more comfortable than other available platforms."
"Ignition Cloud Edition has positively impacted my organization by allowing us to get more projects and also increasing our revenue."
"The best features Ignition Cloud Edition offers are the ability to set alerts on a system and access that remotely."
 

Cons

"I'm not certain if there's something that can be improved in AlmaLinux 8 (Alma Linux 8) | Support by SupportedImages, but in terms of vulnerabilities, it constantly is being hit with vulnerabilities."
"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."
"For someone considering Ignition Cloud Edition, I think it is not bad, but honestly, I see it as overpriced."

"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."
"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."
"The pricing aspect of Ignition Cloud Edition is actually on the high side."
