Likelihood to Recommend	Microsoft Microsoft Azure IoT Central has native integrations with Visual Studio (like pretty much all Microsoft products) making it pretty simple to publish apps to Azure App Service, where you can host all sorts of different applications. It does a really good job of storing large amounts of data (for instance, collected from IoT devices with various sensors) and it gets stored to multiple DBs. Azure IoT Central could improve by adding more customizations, as this would make troubleshooting the products easier and make future costs smaller and easier to predict.

Alternatives Considered	Microsoft Before deciding to go with Microsoft Azure IoT Central, we considered Google, Datadog, and AWS alternatives. The reason we went with Azure was that the client was heavily invested in Microsoft technologies and Azure plays really well with other Microsoft products. The competitive products might be a little bit easier to set up, with more flexible pricing, but, the integrations with other Microsoft services were the deciding factor for our use case.

Return on Investment	Microsoft positive: connected huge number of machines as IoT devices and passed them through entire IoT pipeline until storage in a fairly short time negative: we spent some time figuring out some "less-used" services because they aren't documented well Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Qliktag Software Inc No answers on this topic
