AWS IoT Core vs. Siemens Embedded IoT Framework vs. Temenos Quantum

End-to-end encryption is an amazing feature because we use IoT to connect to various devices in order to gather data/ stats in real-time. We're able to publish solutions with ease and at a faster rate because of AWS IoT Core. However, its inability to interact with other IoT tools is a big con that I would like them to improve upon.

Improve performance while the app is in production. The init app development in planning, the testing stage is not an ideal scenario to use KDC yet.

• AWS IoT Core integrates power analytics and an AI solution for sensor data processing.
• Great protocol support including HTTPs and MQTT required to connect resource constraint IoT devices to cloud
• High security standards during data transmission
• Scalability and a great user community

• Cross-platform mobile development - we used this for developing the app on a native platform (which could be iOS, Android). Kony offers tools that are useful because they decrease costs and increase the speed at which apps are developed. In addition, cross-platform mobile development tools are generally quite simple to use as they are based off of the common languages for scripting, including CSS, HTML, and JavaScript. It has become easy to find resources with the skill set especially because this is based out of common languages.
• In Kony mobility platform Visualizer makes app development quick and easy. Tons of documentation online.
• Used Kony to develop an amazing app that serves our customers well. WYSIWYG interface is great for building interfaces quickly. Build and test quickly for many different targets.

• Ability to integrate with Ethercalc software solution
• Ability to introduce NFC toolchains and systems which could be utilized in iot modular gateway solutions like drones
• Ability to reduce latency as the solution scales is very much needed
• Hybrid solution which can integrate other existing iot solutions into AWS iot core

• Manuals or instructions need to be streamlined with its high pricing.
• It's a very intricate platform. It only performs moderately while the app is currently in operation.

I give AWS IoT Core's overall usability this rating because it is very easy to use and is enjoyed by all of our staff. The only problem is that it sometimes glitches and it freezes a lot. So overall, the usability of AWS IoT Core is very good, and we will continue to use it.

It covers all the aspects of IoT services required for an IoT company. It supports all the industry-wide protocols for secure data transmission and integrates powerful AL and ML technology for data analytics. For data storage, Amazon S3 is a great solution. Strong tech support and user community. Since it is widely used as compared to other products, there is an abundance of training and learning material on the web.

Azure IoT service provides more or less the same services as compared to AWS IoT core, however the costing of AWS lead us to continued usage of IoT core over Azure IoT services. Also, considering our existing technology stack is on AWS, it was a natural selection for better integration and ease of use.

We evaluated variety of platforms like Xamarin, Sencha, PhoneGap. When we were initially evaluating Xamarin, it was not Microsoft and so the releases and features were not very streamlined. Also licensing was a issue with that. Sencha was a very attractive cross mobile platform but was expensive. Just for handful of developers price was high. Ours is big enterprise so licensing costs became huge. PhoneGap is based out of open source Apache Cordova project and is completely free to use, which goes some way to explain its popularity. The enterprise version boasts marketing features via Adobe’s Marketing Cloud, so when it launches it will probably be monetized. Comparing with the features platform has to offer and the price tag attached to it, we narrowed down to using Kony.

• Gives confidence to prototype iot solutions across lots of devices in little time
• Ability to meet requirements for managing a variety of communication protocols
• Learning iot analytics and visualization for faster insights enablement
• Onboarding devices and managing quickly without building inhouse solutions

• Positive on ROI. I'm constantly utilizing Kony since it's a robust tool capable of publishing.
• It also shares prototype creations of apps in a highly intuitive and customizable environment. It provides a preview of apps in real-time. Collaboration is seamless. Important functionality includes smartphone features (without any written code involved) and accessibility to a browser, maps, and SMS.
• Trying to understand the user manual can be challenging since there are way too many features available. All of them aren't really necessary for beginners. And they've yet to offer them in a "phased" approach.
