Dryad vs. IoT83 Flex83

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.

IoT83 Flex83 is a perfect fit if you are planning to integrate IoT devices using different cloud platforms. It enables your solution to become vendor agnostic and naturally get out of a silo approach. It scales really well which is a clear benefit, however deploying it for the smaller projects might quickly become an unnecessary overhead.

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.

The biggest benefit of using IoT83 Flex83, if compared with other solutions available on the market, is the fact that it enables integration using multiple communication protocols and various data sources which in turn prevents your platform from becoming vendor dependent. On the other hand, AWS IoT Core will work perfectly fine if your customer is using AWS as their main cloud provider for all their needs.
