    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.

    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.

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

    Support Rating

    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.

    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.
