Hands-on cloud labs have transformed my training and save hours on every learning project
The best features CloudLabs offers, in my opinion, include being cloud-based and accessible from anywhere, which eliminates the need for local installation. It is cost-effective, and unlike other training platforms that focus solely on teaching, CloudLabs provides hands-on learning in a realistic environment that is easy for anyone to understand. Additionally, it has progress tracking for monitoring my completion and assignments that are designed as small tests after modules, which are optional. The hands-on learning feature in CloudLabs is exceptional compared to other platforms where learning is primarily theoretical, with trainers explaining concepts. CloudLabs provides labs integrated with GCP, AWS, and Microsoft Azure, allowing users to create their own work in a cloud environment without needing local installation. For example, I created multiple agents that interacted with each other all within the cloud environment. CloudLabs has positively impacted my organization by allowing everyone to get hands-on training. Without CloudLabs, we could only do training without practical experience. Now, I gain hands-on experience without significant installations on my systems, enhancing the knowledge of my teammates and everyone in my organization. It has also reduced hardware costs, which is a beneficial aspect.

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.

Pros

"CloudLabs provides a good experience and is a solid platform; it saves my time, builds my skills, and enhances my technical knowledge."
"In terms of efficiency improvements, I estimate around eighty percent of patients and doctors' time has been saved because previously, they spent a lot of time waiting for report deliveries, but now, through patient-centric reporting, reports are delivered instantly."
"CloudLabs is the best in the market for labs and hands-on experience."
"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."
"Ignition gives you the blank paper to dream it, reach it, and draw whatever you need."
"The best features Ignition Cloud Edition offers are the ability to set alerts on a system and access that remotely."
"Ignition Cloud Edition has had a very positive impact on our organization, especially in the way we access and use industrial data."
"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 positively impacted my organization by enabling sharing so that projects can be shared without everyone having to access them through manual file sharing."

Cons

"However, there are areas where CloudLabs can be improved. In some labs, the instructions are not very clear, which can be confusing at times."
"CloudLabs can be improved by reducing its dependency on internet connectivity, which is currently a significant issue, and also by addressing the pricing structure, as costs per visit may become expensive for high-volume labs."
"CloudLabs is perfect for me, and I have no suggestions for improvement."
"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."
"The way the historian is set up is not conducive to large deployments and it makes querying the data challenging."
"I think Ignition Cloud Edition could be more intuitive on how to use it."
"The accuracy of Ignition Cloud Edition is not very great, and reliability also needs improvement."
"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."
"My concern is about cybersecurity. Since it's a cloud platform, the chances of countering cybersecurity attacks will be a major concern."
