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.

Automation has transformed incident response and case management has boosted daily productivity
TheHive is actually quite beautiful and very optimized. If I had to improve anything, I would say that it could improve costing. TheHive is pretty expensive right now. With a low number of users, it works for how the business runs, but I feel that it is pretty expensive when you want to go for the commercial versions, which is where people might not want to go with it. Cost is the only downside, but it is the major downside. I would like to share an incident with you about a recent meeting I had with a client regarding TheHive. The only trigger that they had not to go with TheHive was the cost. Everything looked very good and was very fine, but the costing part was hard. The costing part was something that made them hold off on TheHive and choose a different solution. Over the years, TheHive has improved significantly in how the platform is used and how cases are managed. One good feature that I appreciated when I moved from TheHive 4 to TheHive 5 was the dark mode. When Strange Bee did the rebranding and made it a closed-source product, they added the dark mode feature, which I need because I am not good with light screens. TheHive was the only tool having only white mode capabilities. Once they added it, they have improved a lot. Many connectors are added, and many more integrations are possible now with TheHive. Basically, the appearance, performance, and integrations have improved a lot over the years.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"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 gives you the blank paper to dream it, reach it, and draw whatever you need."
"What I love about Ignition Cloud Edition is the advantages and functionalities it has over other SCADA software."
"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."
"TheHive has positively impacted our organization because it is a free solution."
"The people at TheHive have made it very customizable, flexible, and very security-centric, as they understand what a particular incident responder or security team needs and provide it quite well."
"TheHive has positively impacted my organization because before that, we did not have a good solution to register the tickets."
 

Cons

"My concern is about cybersecurity. Since it's a cloud platform, the chances of countering cybersecurity attacks will be a major concern."
"The way the historian is set up is not conducive to large deployments and it makes querying the data challenging."
"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 accuracy of Ignition Cloud Edition is not very great, and reliability also needs improvement."
"I would rate it a seven because I think the design could be better in TheHive."
"TheHive can be improved because if you want to use it in a small or medium company, it will be really good, but for a really huge company like mine was, I believe that at least on the free version, you will have big issues regarding performance because the solution is not built for a huge company like mine was."
"Cost is the only downside, but it is the major downside."
