Use Cases and Deployment Scope

SAP IoT Application Enablement is currently being used by our organization as a means to develop, test, and implement IoT mobile applications. This service allows us to model, and stream IoT devices and their data directly to UI5 applications to display key performance indicators and allow users to make informed decisions.

Pros and Cons

Thing modeling is a particularly useful aspect of IoT Application Enablement.
IoT Application Enablement supports a large number of IoT communication standards and protocols.
It is quite easy to expose the Thing and IoT data as OData or other RESTful services

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

Return on Investment

Being able to incorporate IoT data directly into web applications is quite valuable, both to our customers and to our business as well.
IoT data has helped us take advantage of other intelligent technologies such as machine learning.
Many of our clients are looking to integrate their devices into their workflows, and this technology is part of that solution.

Support Rating

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.
