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.

Modern desktop delivery has become smoother and integration with current clients works reliably
In Switzerland, my clients, particularly in the banking sector, are cautious about moving data to the cloud due to legal concerns about US access. Therefore, some companies prefer keeping their data on premises to avoid compromising security.Currently, I primarily work on-premises, operating exclusively within shared hardware data centers and not utilizing cloud services such as Azure or AWS. We have experimented with Azure for some testing installations, but the overall costs associated with cloud services raise concerns. While we employ cloud solutions for backup, our infrastructure remains on-premises. For the product itself, Windows Server 2025 (Windows Server 2025) | Support by SupportedImages earns a solid rating of seven or eight from me because it is user-friendly to work with. My main frustration lies in the mandatory updates and newly introduced security features that complicate third-party software operations.
