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.

I don't really have allot to dislike about Ignition. Some minor things could be improved, but I haven't seen other platforms being better.

You can only use Siemens support to upgrade or buy the new versions, it's generally not available with system integrators.
