Arduino vs. Microsoft Azure IoT Hub

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.

We are using the Azure IOT hub for solving the multitenancy problem within our research project. We are consuming data from various resources and communicating it with different devices on our hybrid cloud. We also use Azure IoT as a bridge between two business Intelligence sources which are really hard to connect devices.

Incentivized

• Easy interfacing with other microcontrollers
• Your IDE is versatile for programming other types of microcontrollers.

Incentivized

• Massive registration and deployment of new devices.
• Easy integration with other Azure services.
• Handling security if devices.

Incentivized

• Arduino should implement wifi communication on most of its development boards.
• Extend your protection against electromagnetic noise

Incentivized

• Hardware and embedded integration could improve or be at parity with competitor.
• Pricing model not as flexible as competitor.

Incentivized

Azure IoT support professionals are strong, and always provide timely responses. Vast documentation and examples are available, plus a network of professionals in the market. It's very comparable to the main competitor offer, and easily integrated into the main Azure product offer. Azure IoT is not a new solution, so it is very mature and support can easily address any day to day or architectural concern you have.

Incentivized

Arduino has its own IDE which allows the programming of its development kits to be done quickly and easily, compared to others.

Incentivized

We require Azure integration, data security and simple development. IoT Hub ticked all those boxes.

Incentivized

• Positive impact on teaching processes, students find their development cards attractive.
• In projects where fast implementation is necessary, it is the best option.

Incentivized

• As a student, we are using student program subscription which is cheaper than an individual or business subscription.
• Our school devices our efficiently communicating with each other which has increased the revenue of our school.
• It provides strong and robust cloud communication within the premises which also helped in increased in the school reputation.
