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.

Centralized email and file backups have protected long-term data and simplify user recoveries
I think Veritas Alta Recovery Vault can be improved by changing their license model and being more flexible. Currently, they are charging us for the size of the backup storage, while some other solutions claim to have unlimited backup storage. The pricing is increasing heavily. Since it is an enterprise solution, it is okay that it should be expensive, but they need to enhance their license model because they are selling only for a minimum of 1,000 Office 365 users. For a small environment, this is not applicable. Additionally, they are providing only 2TB per user, so I need to purchase extra storage since the default storage that comes with the normal user license is not enough. They need to enhance their pricing and licensing model. The issue I face with Veritas Alta Recovery Vault is that if I need to move from their service to other solutions, there is no clear idea about the grace period to migrate the backup data to another solution, and it relies only on the user. This is also one more concern; if I want to go with them and buy their solution, I need to be careful because it feels like a one-way ticket.

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."
"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 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 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 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."
"Customer trust has increased since using Veritas Alta Recovery Vault because we guarantee this data for this customer."
"Veritas Alta Recovery Vault has positively impacted my organization because in case some users left, I don't care if they delete their old archive files because I have backup for their emails or OneDrive, even SharePoint."
 

Cons

"My concern is about cybersecurity. Since it's a cloud platform, the chances of countering cybersecurity attacks will be a major concern."
"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."
"The way the historian is set up is not conducive to large deployments and it makes querying the data challenging."
"For someone considering Ignition Cloud Edition, I think it is not bad, but honestly, I see it as overpriced."
"The improvement needed for Veritas Alta Recovery Vault is to simplify multi-cloud redundancy with a single-click policy that handles cross-cloud because natively we can choose one region to replicate this data."
"The issue I face with Veritas Alta Recovery Vault is that if I need to move from their service to other solutions, there is no clear idea about the grace period to migrate the backup data to another solution, and it relies only on the user."
