N/A
Azure IoT Edge is a fully managed service built on Azure IoT Hub. Users can deploy cloud workloads—artificial intelligence, Azure and third-party services, or business logic—to run on Internet of Things (IoT) edge devices via standard containers. The vendor states that by moving certain workloads to the edge of the network, devices spend less time communicating with the cloud, react more quickly to local changes, and operate reliably even in extended offline periods.N/A

JFrog
For us, it has been well suited for monitoring devices that are placed remotely and have no easy access to. Most of our devices are sent to customers which we have little or no contact with. Rather than the customers finding a problem, reporting it to us and then us investigating it. We can just be notified of the problem and deal with it without the customer realising.

Microsoft
  • It works even if there is no internet at client location. It will record all the generated data and only send them to cloud storage when there is internet connection.
  • It allows you to bring cloud functionality down to Edge location in the form of docker container.
  • It also supports two way communication from device to cloud and vice-versa.

  • For some reason, the containerized architecture was also making this very hard
  • Had some issues when debugging edge modules, needs a professional grade remote debugging
  • Industrial automation still requires attention. OPC-UA was good but Modbus or custom PLCs etc was painful to set up

Microsoft
Most of the time it works perfectly, does not require any attention, but when there is a problem, it's really hard to diagnose it. I think the documentation for the positive scenarios are good on the Microsoft side, but for negative scenarios, I don't think there is enough community help out there, in my opinion.

I haven't really found any other product or service which does the same as UpSwift, therefore I have not needed to look for alternative products

Microsoft
The reason Behind this is the cost, as Microsoft provides solutions and integrations of services cheaper than AWS.
