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

  • One of the best integration and easy engineering are possible by using WinCC. In my experience i worked with Alstom aview & ds agile, abb micro scada, ignition, Schneider ds agile and ecosui and finally WinCC. WinCC is one finest and easy for engineering and integration configuration works. For scripting C ; vb script are there . NMS, web navigator, web ui & ux configuration, available lots of industrial and power sector protocol it would support. Iec 61850; iec 104; modbus; opc; profibus, profinet, etc.,

Cons

  • For power sector integration you need install supporting tools to integrate but that also from siemens. When it comes to modbus tcp/ip while starting of integration frequent communication issues would be there you cant resolve the issue but once communication and engineering work properly established and completed it works good.
