• 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.

• Management UI is very good
• The range of API is excellent
• Price per SIM is competitive
• Worldwide coverage is very good

• 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

• Ability to swap underlying providers would be good
• Support sometimes struggles with very complex issues

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.

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

Telit is competitive on price but has a vastly better API and centralised management system than competitors. Other providers have better worldwide coverage and ability to swap networks.

• Very valuable return on investment for IT capex committed to the deployment
• Improvements in overall organisational efficiency and agility
• Repositioning the organisation to become digitally transformed

• Cost per SIM has reduced costs overall
• Centralised management of services has sped up development time
