Microsoft Azure IoT Central vs. SAP Leonardo IoT

One scenario where it was appropriate was allowing us to communicate through apps with our temperature, moisture, and water quality sensors. It's great to have the recordings done automatically and sent back to a central processing point. It is also highly useful when used to collect this data around the clock. One situation where it was less appropriate was in trying to extend our beginning services to other businesses. This is really more of a logistical problem and not really one for the software.

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).

• Creation and management of user roles, who can access your IoT resources and configure the level of access, very granular and self-explanatory
• Configuration of apps and devices, integrations, and administrations are done in an intuitive way and it's easy to navigate your way through the available settings.
• The documentation is really excellent, everything is explained succinctly and there are enough practical examples to get you started.
• Existing templates can save you a lot of time in getting your desired setup complete with less effort and time invested.

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

• Lack of info on error messages
• GUI misses important configuration options
• Not well documented options inside IoT Hub for example (consumer groups)

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.

Handles excellently and after trying a few of them I saw that it is most suitable for the current work of the company and all the products that the company works with

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.

Incentivized

• It has allowed us to expand the number of times data is collected without adding cost.
• It has allowed us to train our technicians in the use the technology so they gain more useful skills.
• We have been able to develop a business model that is not bound by our physical location.

Incentivized

• It manages data and in return it provide the summarized data of total investment.
• It is data hub of all assets that being being utilized with the organization.
