Likelihood to Recommend	Amazon AWS No answers on this topic	Discontinued Products I consider myself very techy and found Google Cloud IoT platform very challenging to manage. The lack of tutorials and discussions to understand how each section works is very challenging. I specifically made a connection after several hours to Google Nest to third-party integration, Home Assistant. Shortly after Google Cloud upgraded to a new version breaking the connection. This was extremely frustrating. No service should take several hours to figure out, in my opinion, if it does, the platform is doing a poor job of making it easy. I'm personally very discouraged any time I ever have to use this platform. It's very hard to find answers. Incentivized Jeffrey Lange PHP Web Developer and Linux Server Administrator Read full review

Cons	Amazon AWS No answers on this topic	Discontinued Products Not beginner friendly. Needs more tutorials and walk throughs on how to get started. Very complicated and unless you know what you are doing you will be lost. Lack of material found on how to do each section / services.

Alternatives Considered	Amazon AWS No answers on this topic	Discontinued Products Although comparisons are hateful, even more so when we are talking about leading brands where the quality of their services are indisputable, the general environment of Google was more familiar to me since I use, for example, Google Firebase on a daily basis, where part of the concepts are similar, without Without a doubt, AWS services are excellent, but it was easier for me to go through the functions of Google Cloud IoT.

Return on Investment	Amazon AWS No answers on this topic	Discontinued Products The amount of hours to get things integrated is negative. The amount of hours researching how to get devices integrated is negative. Overall the amount of time and effort getting things working has been a negative experience.
