Google Cloud IoT vs. TrendMiner

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.

Generally easy to use and intuitive and a very good self-service tool. Because of the wide range of data sources we have, it is a good tool for an easy access to lots of our refining data. Some improvements would be welcome relative to replicating similar applications or folders, bulk copying several items

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.

Seeq was considered a superior tool, but the pricing structure is extremely ill suited for our needs. TrendMiner's overall support (previoulsy done using "Chat with me" and subsequently with the TrendMiner Community is second to none - outstanding TrendMiner engineers were the only one who seriously helped us implement a solid governance model with tag usage tracing
