"Ignition is a Powerful, Flexible SCADA (and more) Platform!"
5/5
What do you like best about Ignition?

So many built in features that you can quickly create an industrial SCADA application, as well as just about any other type of complex application. Integrates with all the major industrial protocols and software standards. The solid default choices for color theming make UI/UX decisions fast and easy, even if you stick with what comes in the package.

When best practices are followed, the performance is unbeatable, it will run on minimal server hardware, and the Edge edition is also incredibly flexible.

Unlimited pricing models and the new "combo meal" packages put high performance well within a sustainable license fee that won't balloon over time.

Inductive automation has incredible documentation, free online training, and solid support packages.

While the upcoming MCP Module will make adding generative AI to your Ignition projects incredibly easy, there's already a number of very accessible ways to accomplish this now, as well as 3rd party partners with fully featured ML and AI products that integrate by design.

If your project starts with Ignition, your enterprise will be ready to grow! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Ignition?

It can take a while to fully learn to use this powerful software platform correctly - the options are endless which can sometimes be overwhelming! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Beyond the Office: Ignition as a Technician's Tool"
5/5
What do you like best about Ignition?

Ignition is one of the few platforms where "free" doesn’t actually mean cheap or limited. It has a low barrier to entry for anyone looking to learn, but it’s still powerful enough to handle serious industrial applications. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Ignition?

There isn’t much to dislike. The main thing I’d like to see is more "how-to" guidance tailored for the plant floor rather than the office. This is strictly about the focus of the community conversations, not the software itself, which is undeniably capable of handling whatever you throw at it in an industrial setting.

"A Flexible Platform for the Next Generation of SCADA"
5/5
What do you like best about Ignition?

I love Ignition's straightforward licensing model, simple configuration, and unmatched flexibility. Unlike many SCADA platforms that lock users into rigid architectures or expensive tag-based licensing, Ignition allows organizations to scale confidently and adapt solutions to virtually any industry. Whether it's oil and gas, data centers, water, utilities, or logistics, Ignition provides the tools to shape the platform around the business rather than forcing the business to conform to the software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Ignition?

The thing I like least about Ignition is that it isn't yet as robust as some legacy SCADA platforms for very large-scale systems. While it excels in flexibility, licensing, and rapid development, extremely large enterprise deployments can still require more architectural planning and engineering discipline than some mature platforms. That said, Ignition continues to evolve rapidly, and I have confidence that its scalability and enterprise capabilities will continue to improve. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Ignition Solves Unique, Real-World Problems"
5/5
What do you like best about Ignition?

As a software development platform it is possible to build basically anything in Ignition which has allowed me and my team to solve very interesting and unique problems for manufacturing companies as well as non-manufacturing companies looking for software solutions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Ignition?

Ignition has a steep learning curve, especially with Perspective. Combining Perspective with Vision causes some market confusion although this is less now than when Perspective was first released.

Not being able to use modern Python features is also annoying since Ignition uses Jython. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
