Cloud-based monitoring has unified my plants and now supports secure, cross-platform access
I would prefer if Ignition Cloud Edition would provide Python instead of Jython programming. It would be easier to do programming in Ignition Cloud Edition. Although Jython works, Python is much better to understand. I would love if Ignition Cloud Edition would provide one more functionality. Ignition Cloud Edition can already be configured with multiple SQL databases, which is good. Ignition Cloud Edition can also run scripts, which is very good. It supports Sparkplug B, which is again good. However, if it would provide the functionality of Python programming, other than Jython, because Jython is a little confusing to me compared to Python. Additionally, nowadays companies are switching to predictive maintenance. It would be better if Ignition Cloud Edition will provide some kind of API integration with AI models. The predictive maintenance process would be much easier to perform. If it would provide the functionality to do programming in Python and some kind of integration with a machine learning, deep learning model, or AI integration, a company could develop a predictive maintenance pipeline as well.

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 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."
"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 Cloud Edition has had a very positive impact on our organization, especially in the way we access and use industrial data."
"Ignition gives you the blank paper to dream it, reach it, and draw whatever you need."
"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."
"What I love about Ignition Cloud Edition is the advantages and functionalities it has over other SCADA software."
"I have compared many SCADA software for this development project, but I found Ignition Cloud Edition is better because it is limited by hardware configuration, not by tag."
"The best features Ignition Cloud Edition offers are the ability to set alerts on a system and access that remotely."
 

Cons

"They could add more intelligence features in the workflow through automation."
"My concern is about cybersecurity. Since it's a cloud platform, the chances of countering cybersecurity attacks will be a major concern."
"I think Ignition Cloud Edition could be more intuitive on how to use it."
"I would prefer if Ignition Cloud Edition would provide Python instead of Jython programming. It would be easier to do programming in Ignition Cloud Edition."
"The accuracy of Ignition Cloud Edition is not very great, and reliability also needs improvement."
"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."
"For someone considering Ignition Cloud Edition, I think it is not bad, but honestly, I see it as overpriced."
"The way the historian is set up is not conducive to large deployments and it makes querying the data challenging."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

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