Azure IoT Edge
Score 8.4 out of 10
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
SAP IoT Application Enablement

N/A
SAP IoT Application Enablement supports the development of Internet of things applications basically by linking UI elements to IoT data to create a digital representation, and provides extensibility to the SAP Cloud Platform.N/A

IoT Application Enablement is particularly useful when developing SAP UI5 applications that consume and use IoT data. There are many such examples in a number of business areas such as logistics, inventory management, process management, asset management, and others. IoT data is a key source of fuel for the intelligent enterprise.

Pros
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.

Cons
Microsoft
  • 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.

  • I believe SAP is currently combining IoT Application Enablement into SAP Leonardo IoT. It will be worth seeing what extra features are available then.

While it is a good product, I feel like with SAP Leonardo IoT there will be a lack of support for this specific product. If it becomes part of the whole then this will be a much higher rating as their support is excellent. I'm just cautious while they combine several products into one. I have not used SAP Leonardo IoT yet.
