    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.

    It is well suited for situations where you require an end-to-end platform for pushing code and managing data and security of the IoT application. However, it is not well suited for the case when you want to scale the app up to many users and this requires more from the part of the product.

    • Advanced functionality in control and data visualization often requires additional coding from the user.
    • Support and tutorials provided are often lacking in detail or are not readily transferable.
    • Mashup development works poorly on small monitors or laptops.
