Microsoft Azure IoT Edge vs. Microsoft Azure IoT Hub

Deployment of mission critical business support solutions particularly those that support virtual learning and video conferencing environments. This is because they help organisations such as the university to effectively transition to a digitally compliant organisation.

We are using the Azure IOT hub for solving the multitenancy problem within our research project. We are consuming data from various resources and communicating it with different devices on our hybrid cloud. We also use Azure IoT as a bridge between two business Intelligence sources which are really hard to connect devices.

• 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.

Incentivized

• Massive registration and deployment of new devices.
• Easy integration with other Azure services.
• Handling security if devices.

Incentivized

• Microsoft Azure IoT Edge must support more Azure services for Edge computing.
• Like stream analytics integration with Microsoft Azure IoT Edge. Other services also should be integrated with Microsoft Azure IoT Edge for alerts and notifications.
• Buffering issue needs to be resolved.

• Hardware and embedded integration could improve or be at parity with competitor.
• Pricing model not as flexible as competitor.

Azure IoT support professionals are strong, and always provide timely responses. Vast documentation and examples are available, plus a network of professionals in the market. It's very comparable to the main competitor offer, and easily integrated into the main Azure product offer. Azure IoT is not a new solution, so it is very mature and support can easily address any day to day or architectural concern you have.

• ROI was high, as we were able to impress our clients with POC of Microsoft Azure IoT Edge with our IoT based ERP product.
• We were able to perform our POC for almost free, as there no charges for Azure IoT Edge, only minimal charges for storage.

Incentivized

• As a student, we are using student program subscription which is cheaper than an individual or business subscription.
• Our school devices our efficiently communicating with each other which has increased the revenue of our school.
• It provides strong and robust cloud communication within the premises which also helped in increased in the school reputation.
