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.

Great for getting started quickly and only for the tools you use. Scaling up is then fast and there is an extensive range of ready made apps that support industrial use cases. Connectivity to the OT layer for data collection and remote access is simplified and takes away much of the complexity in getting connected and surfacing data from machines or sensors.

  • An overview and drilldown into where attributes are used across the solution, such as in rules, dashboards and apps. This would make it easier to maintain and understand the potential impact of change.
  • Provide more detailed and insightful information when an app has changed so the end user knows what is new or different.
  • Quick and user-friendly app building tools to create user entry forms on dashboards that doesn't require Mendix or VFC.

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.
