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.

I believe Windows Server 2022 (Windows Server 2022) | Support by SupportedImages can still be improved; it is not perfect yet. I think there should be a lesser number of patches, as every time the system is patched, the vulnerabilities that I scan always show some vulnerabilities. The product should be hardened from the beginning itself. Nothing else comes to mind now regarding disadvantages, but perhaps it requires more brainstorming. So far, I think it is all good with no additional features or integrations needed in Windows Server 2022 (Windows Server 2022) | Support by SupportedImages. Security must be enhanced, for sure.

Pros

"Ignition Cloud Edition has had a very positive impact on our organization, especially in the way we access and use industrial data."
"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."
"The best features Ignition Cloud Edition offers are the ability to set alerts on a system and access that remotely."
"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 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."
"Ignition Cloud Edition has positively impacted my organization by allowing us to get more projects and also increasing our revenue."
"Ignition Cloud Edition has had a very positive impact on my organization."
"The installation of Windows Server 2022 (Windows Server 2022) | Support by SupportedImages is very easy."
"The biggest advantage of Windows Server for me is that it is more secure and adds security complexity to the environment."
"I see savings in time and money with Windows Server 2022 (Windows Server 2022) | Support by SupportedImages."
 

Cons

"The accuracy of Ignition Cloud Edition is not very great, and reliability also needs improvement."
"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."
"Ignition Cloud Edition can be improved in the sense that it doesn't come with some drivers in the Cloud version. For example, local device drivers are not included, and you always need a local Ignition Edge there."
"For someone considering Ignition Cloud Edition, I think it is not bad, but honestly, I see it as overpriced."
"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."
"The pricing aspect of Ignition Cloud Edition is actually on the high side."
"Microsoft needs to act faster. They have to merge the level of support to solve problems at once."
"I do not see any return on investment from Windows Server, and I do not see that it is saving me time or money."
"I think there should be a lesser number of patches, as every time the system is patched, the vulnerabilities that I scan always show some vulnerabilities."
