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.

Regarding how RedHat 9 with support by ProComputers could be improved, I believe there are some points that could be enhanced, such as reducing the complexity and cost of licensing. The subscription model and socket counting can be complex and have a high cost for expanding smaller development environments. The learning curve could also be simplified: although security is impeccable, solving SELinux troubleshooting issues in advanced scenarios requires a considerable amount of diagnostic time for those who are just starting out. Documentation and the unified migration interface could be improved as well. The process of transitioning between major versions, such as from RedHat 8 to 9, has evolved a lot with Leapp, but it could still have tools such as simpler visual wizards and less dependency on manual scripts and customized scenarios. For me, the main improvement points in RedHat 9 with support by ProComputers are mainly the cost of the subscription model, which can be high when scaling new environments, and the complexity of configuring SELinux, which requires more time for the team to analyze errors when advanced blocks occur. I believe that RedHat 9 with support by ProComputers, to be a 10, would need to address what I mentioned in the previous answer. That would be broader documentation in the sense of providing tools with more visual and simple assistance, with less dependence on scripts, and reducing cost complexity. Some subscription and socket counting models can have a high cost for expansions of smaller development environments. I believe I have mentioned all the improvement suggestions I think are viable.

"Ignition Cloud Edition has had a very positive impact on our organization, especially in the way we access and use industrial data."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"RedHat 9 with support by ProComputers is a perfect tool for any corporate environment because it delivers several improvements, standardization, tools, and features that are required nowadays in daily corporate environments."
"RedHat 9 with support by ProComputers is the best, most stable, and free operating system that we have on the market right now."
"RedHat 9 with support by ProComputers has a positive impact on our organization regarding ROI itself, as even though RedHat solutions are not cheap, scalability, availability, and long-term support have evolved and shown that the operational cost with integrated support is very viable, resulting in an operational return with availability of more than 99.9%, which is very impactful for the company as a whole."
"If they need something robust, scalable, extremely secure, with excellent support and a range of infrastructure possibilities, it is without a doubt one of the best products on the market."
"Version updates make my day-to-day work easier because they ensure the security of the environment by fixing bugs and issues that pose risks."
"For example, I can apply a build in production, within our working language, and know that I can reproduce it in any scenario within RedHat."
"RedHat 9 with support by ProComputers has positively impacted my work and my organization by improving productivity."
"Security tools such as SELinux and OpenSCAP help identify vulnerabilities and maintain environment compliance, which reduces manual work, minimizes the risk of failures, and improves the availability of corporate services."
 

Cons

"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."
"I think Ignition Cloud Edition could be more intuitive on how to use it."
"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 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."
"The pricing aspect of Ignition Cloud Edition is actually on the high side."
"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."
"A negative point, often, when speaking of Brazil, is that the support seems a bit distant from our reality."
"I believe that one of the main points for improving the environment with RedHat 9 with support by ProComputers is increased access and training, as even though there is well-structured documentation on RedHat’s website, access for new professionals to Linux platforms and all the products RedHat provides remains very restricted, limiting it to people with extensive experience with Linux systems and RedHat itself."
"I have not been making effective use of AI. I still intend to reach that level, but I believe it must be secure."
"Regarding how RedHat 9 with support by ProComputers could be improved, I believe there are some points that could be enhanced, such as reducing the complexity and cost of licensing."
"The only challenge that we have with RedHat 9 with support by ProComputers is migrations."
"I think RedHat 9 with support by ProComputers could be improved as a system."
"I believe RedHat 9 with support by ProComputers could be improved mainly in ease of management."
"To improve RedHat 9 with support by ProComputers, one suggestion is to address complexities in updating security patches in critical or isolated environments lacking connectivity with the remote repository or the internet, as this complicates some updates and necessary checks."
