	Microsoft Azure IoT Hub	OSIsoft PI System, from AVEVA
Likelihood to Recommend	Microsoft 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. Incentivized Omkar Marne Software Engineer Read full review	AVEVA If you have many different DCSs or PLCs in your manufacturing plant, OSIsoft PI System does the job quite well to integrate all different types of sources and data. We have Yokogawa, Mitsubishi, Hitachi, and Azbil DCS and PLC. Connecting them is not a problem. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review

Support Rating	Microsoft 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. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	AVEVA Good local support. The only issue is that there are not many system integrators that are well versed with OSIsoft. The implementation is also very costly. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
