Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • *Pricing model *Excellent source of independent / self paced learning (Inductive University) *Ease of use with minimal formal training *Free full version of software (2 hour time out on clients) *Versatility *Interoperability *Seamless Database and PLC integration *Greatly reduced development time *Excellent Tech support ( Knowledgeable and helpful) Infinitely versatile scripting functionality *******The Ignition platform is capable of performing ANY business software function. With an intermediate level knowledge of python / java / SQL you can create the modules and scripting functions to provide limitless functionality.
  • Flexible, performant, smart, really helps developers, pricing is really good, licencing is very easy.

Cons

  • Possibly the cost of support when using multiple instances of Ignition at a single facility. I will update this when I have heard back from Ignition support. Ignition had a wonderful in person training program pre-covid. But there is talk of not starting it back up and pushing everything to virtual online training. If this occurs it would be a BIG con for me. When it comes to getting the most out of training I don't think there is any comparison between in person and online learning. In person wins every time.
  • There is not much to dislike about Ignition. I have not seen anything better on the market.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Open architecture. Maximum flexibility for customization. Support is the absolute best. Flexible deployment solutions.
  • Open automation has the best customer service by far over their competition. They have an excellent product. From real time data to data logging, data retrieval and writing to PLC's. Alarms, Alarm notification, report generation and email capabilities. With the tags and tag properties the options to construct anything with the data is as unlimited as the users abilities and imagination.

Cons

  • I don't really have any cons. The product works exactly how I need it to.
  • I have been using this product suite for 15+ years. The software is well maintained. There are continual enhancements and upgrades. The configurations have always been backward compatible when upgrading. Not really a con but staying up to date is good to do.
