Cloud deployment has improved global collaboration and simplified pay‑as‑you‑go access
Reviewed on Sep 07, 2026
Review from a verified AWS customer
What is our primary use case?
My main use case for Ignition Cloud Edition is regarding the customer deployment of these Ignition Cloud Edition projects when they do not want to install on the on-premises servers.
My main use case for Ignition Cloud Edition is for customers that do not want to use on-premises-based services, and they want to use the pre-bundled module set, which comes with pre-loaded core high-level modules including Perspective, SQL Bridge, Tag Historian, Enterprise Administration Module, reporting, alarm notification, and Mongo DB integration. Rather than purchasing a traditional perpetual license, Ignition Cloud Edition is deployed directly via cloud marketplaces like AWS and Azure using a pay-as-you-go or user-based model and also has native MQTT and cloud connectivity, featuring native MQTT engine, transmission, and distributor modules by Cirrus Link to easily stream IoT data from local edge devices like Ignition Edge directly into the cloud. Its elasticity and enterprise analytics allow taking advantage of cloud infrastructure to scale and store dynamically for massive data historian and connect operational data directly to cloud-native tools like machine learning, AI, and big data pipelines.
What is most valuable?
The best features I have observed with Ignition Cloud Edition include the pre-bundled module set, being a cloud-native manufacturer where you do not have to pay for a license, and the reliance on OPC-UA, MQTT, or gateways to get data instead of direct PLC drivers. Additionally, it offers a cloud-based micro-subscription model where you can pay-as-you-go without the maintenance of any hardware.
The cloud-based micro-subscription and the fact that I do not have to maintain hardware have definitely affected my day-to-day work positively, as I often require global access with teams recording from different locations. When Ignition Cloud Edition and the gateway are installed on the cloud, everyone can access it based on the user role assigned, making it easier and more flexible, especially for projects involving multiple time zones. Furthermore, not having to worry about server crashes enhances reliability.
Ignition Cloud Edition has positively impacted my organization by allowing us to get more projects and also increasing our revenue. I can share that we have experienced around a five to six percent increase in revenue based on adding Ignition Cloud Edition platform to our services.
What needs improvement?
Improvements for Ignition Cloud Edition should include the addition of more traditional PLCs-based drivers.
I would also suggest that they might launch future Ignition Cloud Edition-based services, eliminating the need to rely solely on AWS, allowing Ignition Cloud Edition to perhaps manage that independently.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using Ignition Cloud Edition for more than three years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
Ignition Cloud Edition is very stable.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
The scalability of Ignition Cloud Edition is impressive because it allows for multiple licenses and users, making it comparable to other cloud services such as AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud, without the worry of scaling issues.
How are customer service and support?
The customer support for Ignition Cloud Edition is quite good; whenever we have a call or send a message, we receive a reply within one to two days.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
I have not previously used any other solutions similar to Ignition Cloud Edition.
What was our ROI?
I have seen a return on investment in terms of saved time and money, achieving savings around five to six percent and we are still exploring options for more improvements.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
My experience with pricing, setup costs, and licensing was quite good, as it was straightforward based on how many machines, what kind of hardware we wanted to use, and how many users were needed.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
Before choosing Ignition Cloud Edition, we did not evaluate other options as we were already long-time partners of Ignition and were confident in its standard and robust capabilities; thus, no other options were a good fit for us.
What other advice do I have?
My advice to others considering Ignition Cloud Edition is to proceed with it, especially if you prefer not to have on-premises applications, as it is a very good tool.
Ignition Cloud Edition reflects that it is still missing some driver options and we require a more cost-effective solution, which is why I rate it an eight on a scale of one to ten.
Regarding Ignition Cloud Edition's governance and security, I find them to be reliable, as we have standard security and governance protocols implemented.
In terms of Ignition Cloud Edition's AI capabilities, I rate its accuracy between seventy to eighty percent, noting that some data outputs are incorrect, indicating it is not one hundred percent reliable, so it requires verification against actual flow data.
One project that stands out in my experience with Ignition Cloud Edition for a customer deployment relates to warehouse management, where I have been using Ignition Cloud Edition on the Amazon Web Services server with the customer having to pay based on the pay-per-use model, dependent on how much information needs to be processed and how many clients need access, rather than based on a standard license.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
Public Cloud
If public cloud, private cloud, or hybrid cloud, which cloud provider do you use?
Amazon Web Services (AWS)

Remote alerts have improved real-time monitoring of beef processing and quality issues
Reviewed on Sep 04, 2026
Review provided by PeerSpot
What is our primary use case?
My main use case for Ignition Cloud Edition was to view Tyson food plants' beef slaughter lines where they took care of the cattle. I use Ignition Cloud Edition to show the lines and all the systems and send alerts and statuses to the database.
A specific example of how I used it in that context is if there was an issue with the way a part of a cow was sliced or skinned, it would alert my phone for the admin.
What is most valuable?
The best features Ignition Cloud Edition offers are the ability to set alerts on a system and access that remotely.
Ignition Cloud Edition has positively impacted my organization as they do a ton of their work with it. They do almost all their work with it.
What needs improvement?
I think Ignition Cloud Edition could be more intuitive on how to use it.
When I'm trying to accomplish something, I pretty much have to have the certification to really know how to get it done or look it up.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using Ignition Cloud Edition for about three months total.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
Ignition Cloud Edition is stable.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
I am not too informed on Ignition Cloud Edition's scalability, but I would say it's pretty good because it's used for a very large system.
How are customer service and support?
The customer support for Ignition Cloud Edition is good. I had an issue, and I reached out to Ignition Cloud Edition and they responded in a timely manner.
I would rate the customer support as a nine on a scale of one to ten.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing is that I was an intern, so I do not really know.
What other advice do I have?
My advice to others looking into using Ignition Cloud Edition is to get the certification or licensing.
