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.

Team collaboration has improved and project tracking is clearer but downtime still causes disruption
I think there are some parts of Lark that have not been translated, and sometimes there is a glitch where the product still uses Chinese words. Lark occasionally experiences downtime, and during those times, we usually use WhatsApp for communication and coordination, which can be frustrating. Regarding Lark's AI capabilities, I believe they are good in terms of governance and security. I think there is still room for improvement regarding the accuracy and reliability of Lark's AI output.

Pros

"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."
"Both the database and Ignition can be set up very easily without any hardware, and reliability and high availability are always there, built in."
