(1-4 of 4)Microsoft Azure IoT Central - Spot On For Expansion!
- It allows us to collect information at one point remotely.
- It allows us to control our conditioning and feeding systems remotely.
- We can collect data from various points and then transform it when received at a central point.
- I would like to more easily integrate other systems like PowerBI.
- Support is sometimes slow especially when we are doing something new.
- Ease of use
- Reliability
- Cost level
- It has allowed us to expand the number of times data is collected without adding cost.
- It has allowed us to train our technicians in the use the technology so they gain more useful skills.
- We have been able to develop a business model that is not bound by our physical location.
Experience brings wisdom
- highly secure
- predictable pricing
- Focuesed industry
- central application
- smartphone app
- connect a device with device SAS
- Create individual enrollments
- Continuous and significant progress
- Integration of the product in the ongoing work and improvement of our system capacity
- Convenient interface
- Creation and management of user roles, who can access your IoT resources and configure the level of access, very granular and self-explanatory
- Configuration of apps and devices, integrations, and administrations are done in an intuitive way and it's easy to navigate your way through the available settings.
- The documentation is really excellent, everything is explained succinctly and there are enough practical examples to get you started.
- Existing templates can save you a lot of time in getting your desired setup complete with less effort and time invested.
- They could add more variations to their pricing, make it more flexible for smaller projects with limited budgets, more pricing plans basically.
- Integration of IoT hardware and embedded systems could do with minor improvements
- Documentation for logs could be a bit more detailed, like the rest of the docs.
- I wish they could add more security options, as leaving it by the default values opens up too many vulnerabilities.
- Add support for more operating systems, especially the not so mainstream ones, like Huawei Harmony, as their devices are widely used in certain parts of the world.
- Developing apps for IoT devices
- Seamless integrations with other products from the Microsoft's ecosystem
- Easier maintenance of complex enterprise IoT solutions
- 9% guaranteed uptime by the SLA
- Affordable billing for smaller data transfers between devices, under 4KB
- Free devices and messages for higher pricing tiers, for example for Standard Tier 2 we got two free devices and 60k included free messages.
- Documentation
- Support
- Good and approachable GUI
- Many types of subscription configurations
- Lack of info on error messages
- GUI misses important configuration options
- Not well documented options inside IoT Hub for example (consumer groups)
- Scalability
- Ease of use
- good subscription options
- positive: connected huge number of machines as IoT devices and passed them through entire IoT pipeline until storage in a fairly short time
- negative: we spent some time figuring out some "less-used" services because they aren't documented well
