Ignition versus Advantech WebAccess?  
Both 100 percent wed-based. Ignition supports MQTT and WebAccess will do it in the future. Where do I find something?

Ignition is NOT web-based. It’s web-launched.

I tried this WebAccess in a VM… it’s utterly crap… 👎  
Stay away from it. At the end you can’t even uninstall it properly.  
It’s based on MS aspx, with some mix of node.js.

Or maybe it’s just me…  
because I’m spoiled with Ignition for 6 years now, now every other software looks like crap… 😈
