    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.

    Pusher
    As I told you earlier, if you just want to send regular push notifications to the app users, then Pusher shall not be your first choice. However, if you wish to make the app a little more interactive by making live changes in the app using Pusher and sending your user's real-time notifications, then you should definitely try it.

    • Pusher allows live changes in the UI using push requests. We can also integrate it with the PHP source code.
    • They offer 99.99% uptime, so we can trust on their services.
    • Pusher works well along with the Flutter codebase, so we do not have to modify it much to work on cross-platforms.

    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.

    • We had over ten thousand customer orders go through over the course of a year with no problems with this API
    • There was very minimal support for this API which allowed us to focus on other priorities.
