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.

Centralized workspaces have improved team productivity but still need more automation and analytics
I rate WorkSpaces Manager seven out of ten because I reduced points for improvements that need to be addressed. Regarding WorkSpaces Manager's security capabilities, I believe centralized access management and role-based permissions help organizations control access to workspaces and resources. Audit logs, regular access reviews, and strong authentication further strengthen security. Regarding WorkSpaces Manager's reliability, the tool provides reliable workspace and access information when configuration and underlying data are up-to-date. Consistent synchronization, error handling, and monitoring can improve reliability. WorkSpaces Manager is deployed in my organization as a cloud-based solution, though the product supports cloud-based, on-premises, or integrated deployment models with existing enterprise applications. My advice to others considering WorkSpaces Manager is to carefully review all documentation before proceeding, use training for developers before implementing, learn about the product thoroughly, review the documentation, and compare multiple products before making a decision.
