Pros	Particle Industries, Inc Particle is simple to use and accessible to any user. The servers housed in the data center allow us to respond to any problem Through the interface the data is analyzed in a very simple way. Ideal interface for the exploitation of our devices, computers and mobile phones. The interface for iOTs allows us to interact with the system in a few steps. It allows, among other things, the display of information calculated from the data collected from different iOTs, in an understandable way.

Alternatives Considered	Particle Industries, Inc I have used other IoT Development Modules like Arduino, Raspberry Pi, and others. Most of all starter kit doesn't come with WiFi or Cellular built-in. Arduino is a basic module where you have to add WiFi or Cellular manually in it. Raspberry Pi has WiFi but it cannot be used for small or medium use cases, it can be used in advanced and complex systems building and it is costlier.

Return on Investment	Particle Industries, Inc It ensures very good results, with recovery of the investment in a short time.
