Flexible platform has enabled us to design custom monitoring and ticketing with full control
Reviewed on Jun 04, 2026
Review provided by PeerSpot
What is our primary use case?
I am using Ignition for systems, making systems, monitoring, and ticketing systems.
What is most valuable?
Ignition offers me unlimited features such as limited tags, which is very helpful, as well as unlimited users, which is also very helpful. Those are the two main advantages that stand out more than any other software. Ignition gives you the blank paper to dream it, reach it, and draw whatever you need. There is a lot of customization you can make if you have the right skills for that.
Ignition has positively impacted my organization by offering a price advantage compared with other software. Once I have the ability to build the program or product with Ignition, I can leave other products from any competitor company, giving me a lot of benefits and a lot of customization options. It provides the ability, at a lower price, to make the best advantages and best practices for everything, and in the end, I own it.
What needs improvement?
Ignition already has a lot of improvements through the variants of versions, such as the last version disabling the MCP and building views through the APIs, which I think is a very big move for Ignition. The Ignition teams make a lot of effort. Additionally, while I cannot mention everything right now, I can say that there is a need that customers express in the Ignition forum. If you need it, I think you can create it or scrape it from the web directly. For me, I do not see anything as a weak point; I think I have the ability to do the custom modules and Ignition gives me that ability. I am not the only one; I am talking about developers in general, as I think they provide us with a lot of tools to meet our needs.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using Ignition itself, whether in the cloud or not, for four and a half years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
Ignition is, in my experience, 100% stable with great availability if you pick the right solution and build it on a strong foundation.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
Ignition is scalable, and it has been able to grow with my needs, as I mentioned before. If I pick the right architecture, it would be great; for example, if I have a lot of sites, I go for edges for collecting data and sending it to the main. If I have many users, I split them to get the front end and back end. If I have IoT needs, I bring the MQTT in and implement it, so there is a lot of customization I can make. I think Ignition is the best way for scalability, 100%.
How are customer service and support?
For customer support, I have reached out, and I rate it 100%. The support I receive is very fast and clear, and they do not let you go until the problem is resolved. The Ignition forum is a very good resource. For technical tickets or issues, once I create one, I find very good support.
What other advice do I have?
Ignition University provides everyone with all the materials needed to do amazing work. For someone considering Ignition Cloud Edition, I think it is not bad, but honestly, I see it as overpriced. That is a problem for me. I think the last thing I should mention, and I already mentioned it, is to look again at the price. I rate this review a 10.

What do you like best about the product?
The templating and UDT structure is very user friendly and connecting to the controller is a snap with a few quick steps. Inductive University provides a ton of helpful information and the fact that you can use the full functional software to test is awesome
What do you dislike about the product?
The company seems to be pushing their Perspective module more and more which while it has useful features, unless you're building plant controls for all sorts of different screen sizes it's not as user friendly as the Vision platform they started with
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Connecting to multiple PLCs at a single location is seemless and straight forward. Visualizing the data in a template structured environment makes deployment quick

What do you like best about the product?
The connection to all various PLC brands and connections to databases is simple and straightforward. Historical data recording is as easy as checking a box.
What do you dislike about the product?
The newer Perspective module can be cumbersome to work with, especially around formatting for resizable and different screen types
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Human Machine Interface (HMI) design and deployment and historical trending of information. The access to information has never been easier or more effective than with Ingition.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
The product support staff is excellent at addressing your questions and the Inductive University and user manual has a wealth of easy to access information to guide you through most tasks.

A modular SCADA gateway system that allows integrating different protocols (OPC, MQQT, Modbus, gateway connections to name a few) into one uniform system and aggregate data via Ignition provided component as well as scripting and python coding.
