Likelihood to Recommend	Amazon AWS No answers on this topic	Kaa No answers on this topic	IBM For large companies with large-scale manufacturing, electronics management, and infrastructures that require lots of maintenance, IBM Watson IoT is a must-have. It greatly increases performance, decreases downtime, and is an all-around great management dashboard. This is best for infrastructures that have a larger infrastructures of IoT devices in an enterprise/manufacturing setting, otherwise IBM Watson may not bring many benefits to your team.

Pros	Amazon AWS No answers on this topic	Kaa No answers on this topic	IBM The asset information is available in both static and dynamic format (from thermal images, to OEM data, to time series data). The ability to ingest all the information using a single platform has great value. Another benefit is a seamless integration with Maximo. This has been a challenge with other 3rd party systems available. The experience of IBM Maximo systems updates is positive.

Cons	Amazon AWS No answers on this topic	Kaa No answers on this topic	IBM Some of the tutorials could use a little more improvement - While there is a considerable amount of documentation, most of the good documentation for Watson IoT we found to be from third-parties. Administration and billing tools could use a bit more improvement - The UI is a bit clunky and poorly-designed here. Be prepared to work with IBM support to get this going - Their turn-around support for inquiries can be lengthy, and setup time may also be quite lengthy because of this.

Alternatives Considered	Amazon AWS No answers on this topic	Kaa No answers on this topic	IBM Predix has recently launched their Asset Performance management Unified system. I am keen to see how it stacks up against Watson. Incentivized Vinay Pushkarna, B.Eng, MBA Supervisor, Business Transformation Read full review
Return on Investment	Amazon AWS No answers on this topic	Kaa No answers on this topic	IBM Positive - This tool greatly increases most company's manufacturing and production efficiency, and the use-cases are extensive. It was a great way of decreasing down-time for us. Negative - Took lots of work and energy to get up and running, we had to rely on IBM support and tutorials many times during this process. Positive - Quite cheap, most of the tiers of pricing cost very little, and it's possible to use Watson IoT for a few months for free to see if it is beneficial for your company.
