Cloud monitoring has transformed real-time plant control and automated preventive maintenance
Reviewed on Jun 22, 2026
Review provided by PeerSpot
What is our primary use case?
I work with ABB, and I work with Ignition Cloud Edition , WinCC, and SCADA specifically for control and automation processes in the plant.
For Ignition Cloud Edition , what we primarily use it for is our SCADA, which is an acronym for Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition. We use it to supervise and control activities in the plant, acquire data from the field in real time for monitoring, for visualization, and transformation of our plant processes.
We use the drag-and-drop interface in Ignition Cloud Edition, especially when we want to design the graphics or when we have a process we want to program. We do drag-and-drop to put the components, such as the slider for control and different functionalities.
How has it helped my organization?
Ignition Cloud Edition has streamlined our application development because it has almost the same user interface with ABB SCADA, WinCC SCADA, and other SCADA systems. The user interface is the same, so it was easy for me to quickly integrate. Ignition Cloud Edition offers more functionality and a more user-friendly interface.
The data we pull from the field using Ignition Cloud Edition allows us to analyze it. We have an Excel template where we pull this data, and then it helps us generate a bar chart or a pie chart, which we use to analyze the performance of our equipment in the field. It informs us about the frequency of alarms and the equipment with the highest number of alarms. We can analyze and determine which equipment is bringing a lot of alarms, indicating a need for preventive maintenance.
Due to the analytics and the real-time data we are able to pull using Ignition Cloud Edition, we are able to analyze, and we do not have to wait until an equipment breaks down. We can quickly carry out preventive maintenance instead of corrective maintenance.
What is most valuable?
What I love about Ignition Cloud Edition is the advantages and functionalities it has over other SCADA software. It has unlimited licensing compared to other SCADA software we have. The previous system we were using required a license for each of the tags used in the field, but for Ignition Cloud Edition, it is unlimited. One server license covers all tags. It also has a lot of functionalities, is web-based, and allows me to log in and access the plant, control, monitor, and visualize at any time, even from my mobile phone.
It is easily accessible because the old SCADA we were using has an OPC. OPC is a protocol for communication from the plant to the control room workstation. Through OPC UA, which is Universal Architecture, we are able to pull data and then integrate it into each of our devices.
A lot of benefits come from using Ignition Cloud Edition. It has an easy user interface, and we are able to add different tags with just one license for a server. It is OPC UA, which stands for Open Platform Unified Architecture. The previous systems we had were DA, which is Decentralized Architecture, but with UA, it offers more functionalities. We can get real-time data, and we can pull this data from our devices in the field in real time.
What needs improvement?
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.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using Ignition Cloud Edition for two years or more.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
Before Ignition Cloud Edition, I used ABB's 800xA SCADA, and then WinCC by Siemens SCADA.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
The pricing aspect of Ignition Cloud Edition is actually on the high side. If the price can drop a bit, many plants could get it easily. I discussed this with a sister plant to mine, and they were asking about the licensing, so I directed them to the website for updates, but it has been a while since my plant purchased it. One person mentioned the advantages, especially that it is built on trusted IT standards such as SQL, Python, and MQTT, but he felt the price was too high.
Ignition Cloud Edition is worth the money. The larger companies can deploy it, but the upcoming companies are the ones having small complaints about the pricing. The large companies in my area find it fine.
What other advice do I have?
In my organization, we have a gateway, and that is where we work with a FortiGate for the cybersecurity. The local network for the SCADA communicates to our national control center using a gateway server, and then on this server, we have Fortinet for cybersecurity. It is in between the plant and the outside communication to the national control center.
Ignition Cloud Edition comes with powerful, unlimited, and zero-install IDE . Unlike others, you need a lot of gigabytes and a lot of sizes to install on your device. Another advantage is that it is web-launched, meaning a client can log in to any device, whether a laptop, PC, or mobile phone. I was so amazed by this that I shared it on my LinkedIn profile picture. Everyone was messaging me, asking how I was using Ignition Cloud Edition. I was just sending them the link to the Inductive University training platform because there is a summary there. It is web-based and allows unlimited tags, clients, screens, connections, and so on, unlike ABB and WinCC where we had to buy licenses for each of our tags.
One last thing I love about Ignition Cloud Edition is that, unlike ABB and others, if you want to pull alarms or reporting, it is an independent application, but this one is universal and compact. In one licensed software, we are able to do alarming and reporting, while others require separate applications, separate licenses, and separate purchases.
My recommendation for others looking into implementing Ignition Cloud Edition is that they should adopt and deploy it. The reason is that it comes with powerful, unlimited resources and is web-launched, allowing log-in on any mobile device. You can work with a SCADA system on your mobile phone anywhere, within Nigeria, outside Nigeria, or anywhere. I would rate this product 9.5 out of 10.

Reduced downtime and costs have transformed multi-site monitoring and predictive maintenance
Reviewed on Jun 16, 2026
Review from a verified AWS customer
What is our primary use case?
Our major use case for Ignition Cloud Edition revolves around data aggregation and the hybrid IoT architectures we have to manage, using it to pull telemetry data from dozens of separate physical plants into one central cloud repository, which allows us to view real-time enterprise dashboards and run multi-site reports, while the operational data is directly fed into the cloud-based AI predictive maintenance engines, helping us to forecast, see, and provide very good logic-based judgment over the entire data we have.
How has it helped my organization?
The setup of Ignition Cloud Edition has changed things for my team by providing good ROI, helping us to reduce costs and increase multi-site efficiency by hosting the central enterprise gateway in the cloud, completely eliminating the capital expense of buying physical servers and transitioning to cloud-based servers, while also reducing the IT labor requirement from our teams because we do not need to maintain the cloud server manually.
Ignition Cloud Edition has impacted our organization positively by showing specific outcomes such as a CAPEX to OPEX shift in hardware cost avoidance and an upfront cost reduction, saving us around $500,000, which is a substantial amount. The pay-as-you-go basis allows us to only pay for what we are using, saving many resources and money. Furthermore, it has provided an 80% bandwidth reduction and increased industrial network bandwidth consumption by 80% because data is only sent to the cloud when the value actually changes. Additionally, engineering labor and multi-site efficiency have improved, with deployment velocity increased by 75% thanks to the centrally managed gateway process, which allows a single team member to push a dashboard once it is rendered, instantly propagating it to all connected facilities globally. It has also helped with downtime prevention, saving us $2 million a year with standard downtime avoidance and decreasing the MTTR by providing clear visibility and feeding data into the predictive maintenance AI, representing significant ROI metrics.
What is most valuable?
The best features Ignition Cloud Edition offers are valuable, including multiple features which I appreciate, such as the cloud marketplace procurement, which helps us to bypass the traditional slow software procurement by billing the software directly to our organization's existing infrastructure, giving us software implementation and helping us to accomplish things in a better way.
