User Testimonials
	Arduino	Crestron XiO
Likelihood to Recommend	Arduino Excellent for teaching - learning and small projects of automation, robotics, domotics in industry.It has a large development community and being a free software is widely recognized and is constantly evolving.Not very suitable for scenarios where wifi connectivity is needed, in order to make use of it, it is necessary to purchase additional products. Incentivized Deimer Miranda Montoya Profesor Read full review	Crestron Electronics XiO is definitely well suited for applications like ours where we have a large number of devices to manage. I like being able to see all my devices and locations in one place. It is very helpful to see if any devices are offline each morning and be able to troubleshoot before any customers realize there is a problem Incentivized JJ Jill Jung Conference Room Tech Specialist/IT Support Read full review
Pros	Arduino Easy interfacing with other microcontrollers Your IDE is versatile for programming other types of microcontrollers. Incentivized Deimer Miranda Montoya Profesor Read full review	Crestron Electronics Scheduled re-boots and updates I like the way the hierarchy can be set up individually customizable group settings within the hierarchy I like the capability of setting up background images for brand promotion or employee information Incentivized JJ Jill Jung Conference Room Tech Specialist/IT Support Read full review
Cons	Arduino Arduino should implement wifi communication on most of its development boards. Extend your protection against electromagnetic noise Incentivized Deimer Miranda Montoya Profesor Read full review	Crestron Electronics I would like the option to choose IP addresses as one of the viewable columns when looking at/sorting through all your available devices. It would be nice to be able to link the IP address listed directly to their devices. Sometime trying to reboot a device in XiO does not work for me and I need to go directly to the device's admin page.
