Microsoft Azure IoT Hub vs. SAP Leonardo IoT

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.

In my opinion SAP Leonardo IoT lets us access emerging technologies such as machine learning, big data, internet of things (IoT) and blockchain. It is often associated with SAP Cloud Platform services but it’s not limited to this, as it includes predictive features in S/4HANA (on-premise or in the cloud).

Incentivized

• Massive registration and deployment of new devices.
• Easy integration with other Azure services.
• Handling security if devices.

Incentivized

• It addresses the need for specific, real-time data that is output by the machines. This is very handy if you need data fast.
• It is able to be integrated with many different platforms, which is really good for customization.
• It's easy to implement in your current landscape, which provides less stress for your organization.

Incentivized

• Hardware and embedded integration could improve or be at parity with competitor.
• Pricing model not as flexible as competitor.

Incentivized

• Large Amount of Data Management.
• Cloud interpretation not clearly identified.
• Integration with other data center like Microsoft azure.

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.

SAP always equals excellent support. This is not an exception. We've used the SAP help portal to find an answer or to contact SAP Support.

Incentivized

We require Azure integration, data security and simple development. IoT Hub ticked all those boxes.

Although with Hyperledger Fabric you can integrate some IoT devices, SAP IoT has a way better and more standardized GUI that really helps with efficiency. It is really hard with Hyperledger Fabric to navigate through a Linux terminal if you've never used bash. However, with SAP IoT the portal is pretty easy to navigate and understand. All the user has to do is know the higher-level design behind their IoT devices so that they can correctly implement them.

Incentivized

• As a student, we are using student program subscription which is cheaper than an individual or business subscription.
• Our school devices our efficiently communicating with each other which has increased the revenue of our school.
• It provides strong and robust cloud communication within the premises which also helped in increased in the school reputation.

Incentivized

• It manages data and in return it provide the summarized data of total investment.
• It is data hub of all assets that being being utilized with the organization.
