Cisco Jasper vs. Google Cloud IoT vs. Losant

Using Cisco Jasper is suitable for managing large numbers of cellular subscribers where manual management is impossible. If you are a prototype project with dozens of subscribers, it may not be convenient for you to deal with Cisco Jasper and opt for manual management. The use of Cisco Jasper is justified in a production and project monetization environment.

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.

In our country, the subscriber management platform is not eligible since each cell phone operator opts for a particular brand, that is, we have not had an option, although we have no complaints about the platform, we feel comfortable using it. I know of other management platforms used by other operators and they are really all very well designed, but we all know about CISCO's track record in the market, which adds additional value.

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.
