Google Cloud IoT vs. SAP Leonardo IoT

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 my opinion SAP Leonardo IoT lets us access emerging technologies such as machine learning, big data, internet of things (IoT) and blockchain. It is often associated with SAP Cloud Platform services but it’s not limited to this, as it includes predictive features in S/4HANA (on-premise or in the cloud).

• Integration with different brands of microcontrollers including the one currently used by Espresiff.
• The platform is very robust and secure.

Incentivized

• It addresses the need for specific, real-time data that is output by the machines. This is very handy if you need data fast.
• It is able to be integrated with many different platforms, which is really good for customization.
• It's easy to implement in your current landscape, which provides less stress for your organization.

Incentivized

• 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.

Incentivized

• Large Amount of Data Management.
• Cloud interpretation not clearly identified.
• Integration with other data center like Microsoft azure.

SAP always equals excellent support. This is not an exception. We've used the SAP help portal to find an answer or to contact SAP Support.

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.

Although with Hyperledger Fabric you can integrate some IoT devices, SAP IoT has a way better and more standardized GUI that really helps with efficiency. It is really hard with Hyperledger Fabric to navigate through a Linux terminal if you've never used bash. However, with SAP IoT the portal is pretty easy to navigate and understand. All the user has to do is know the higher-level design behind their IoT devices so that they can correctly implement them.

• 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.
