    Varuna Tech Inc
    It analyses in a great way to collect and display operational and of course relevant business data allowing users to predict a large number of issues, especially quality ones. Reports can be generated just after a few clicks. Machine learning capabilities bring some additional benefits of efficiency and help to the end-users.

    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
    • 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

    Usability
    Microsoft
    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
    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.
