Secure remote imaging has transformed global workflows and supports high‑performance creative work
HP Anywhere is utilized across public cloud, private cloud, hybrid cloud, and on-premises environments. AWS is the cloud provider I see HP Anywhere deployed with most often, although I have also seen it a bit with Azure, but not at all with Google Cloud. Regarding improvements, I appreciate that the AI focuses on bandwidth optimization and security anomalies, and it offers valuable information on pixel streaming for smoother remote access. For those considering HP Anywhere, I advise recognizing that the product is at end of life, with no future developments, and if you are looking for VDIs, alternatives such as Citrix or Nvidia may be better. If you already have HP Anywhere, be aware it has been officially discontinued. HP Anywhere is a wonderful remote desktop solution, but HP has chosen not to enhance it further. If you possess it, it remains a good tool, but it is important to acknowledge that it is at end of life with no future development planned, meaning customers will need to eventually transition to other remote desktop environments. I give this product a rating of eight out of ten.

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

"HP Anywhere has positively impacted my organization by providing global support and compatibility with any cloud provider, including AWS, Azure, Google, and private clouds, enhancing hybrid workforces and allowing employees to work anywhere."
"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 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."
"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 enabling sharing so that projects can be shared without everyone having to access them through manual file sharing."
 

Cons

"HP Anywhere is at the end of life, with no new features or support being added, and it seems like HP is not prioritizing its development anymore in the growing remote work market."
"The way the historian is set up is not conducive to large deployments and it makes querying the data challenging."
"My concern is about cybersecurity. Since it's a cloud platform, the chances of countering cybersecurity attacks will be a major concern."
"For someone considering Ignition Cloud Edition, I think it is not bad, but honestly, I see it as overpriced."
"The pricing aspect of Ignition Cloud Edition is actually on the high side."
"The accuracy of Ignition Cloud Edition is not very great, and reliability also needs improvement."
