Dryad vs. Particle

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.

We used in mostly all cases in our company. It is best for beginner users and for getting started for IoT Developers. You can give it to any beginner and they can easily learn in just a few minutes. I can say the best product for the starter projects. Everything is just fab!

• Data curation
• Easy to use website
• Data in any format

• Particle is simple to use and accessible to any user.
• The servers housed in the data center allow us to respond to any problem
• Through the interface the data is analyzed in a very simple way.
• Ideal interface for the exploitation of our devices, computers and mobile phones.
• The interface for iOTs allows us to interact with the system in a few steps.
• It allows, among other things, the display of information calculated from the data collected from different iOTs, in an understandable way.

Incentivized

• More incentives for people to contribute data
• More promotion of the platform so people know about it
• Expand data categories

Incentivized

• For Advanced programs, a bit complicated to programme.
• Pin Limitations (Photon DevKit).
• Pricing is high compared to others.

Efficient integration of multiple devices very well integrated and with a minimum implementation time.

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.

I have used other IoT Development Modules like Arduino, Raspberry Pi, and others. Most of all starter kit doesn't come with WiFi or Cellular built-in. Arduino is a basic module where you have to add WiFi or Cellular manually in it. Raspberry Pi has WiFi but it cannot be used for small or medium use cases, it can be used in advanced and complex systems building and it is costlier.

Incentivized

• 35% time saved when it comes to cleaning
• Obviate the need for purchasing data
• Do not need to hire people to collect data

Incentivized

• It ensures very good results, with recovery of the investment in a short time.
