    Crestron Electronics
    XiO is definitely well suited for applications like ours where we have a large number of devices to manage. I like being able to see all my devices and locations in one place. It is very helpful to see if any devices are offline each morning and be able to troubleshoot before any customers realize there is a problem

    Dryad is well suited for situations where you are lacking data and or on the lookout for more interesting datasets to work with. It is also easy to read about how the authors collected the data and even provides a link to email them in case you need more information.

    Cons
    Crestron Electronics
    • I would like the option to choose IP addresses as one of the viewable columns when looking at/sorting through all your available devices.
    • It would be nice to be able to link the IP address listed directly to their devices.
    • Sometime trying to reboot a device in XiO does not work for me and I need to go directly to the device's admin page.

    The website isn't as clean as that for Dryad and there seems to be less support for the end-user. However, it appears that they also have a large number of data repositories and have backing from many well-known universities. Ultimately, it comes down to personal preference and likability.
