Microsoft Azure IoT Hub vs. Insights Hub

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.

Great for getting started quickly and only for the tools you use. Scaling up is then fast and there is an extensive range of ready made apps that support industrial use cases. Connectivity to the OT layer for data collection and remote access is simplified and takes away much of the complexity in getting connected and surfacing data from machines or sensors.

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.
