User Testimonials
	Cisco IoT Operations Dashboard (discontinued)	Microsoft Azure IoT Hub
Likelihood to Recommend	I would highly recommend Cisco IoT for viewing real-time network device visibility. The monitoring dashboard, besides being map based, is quite intuitive. You won't doze off even after hours of staring. Cisco IoT is notably useful for monitoring commonly connected assets such as ATMs or vending machines. I'd, however, not recommend solely relying on Cisco's traffic to dashboard encryption since it's a vulnerable channel. Incentivized Olivia Sarr Mathews Network Engineer Read full review	I would recommend Azure IoT Hub for the energy industry and for massive scaling, maintaining security, and easy management of devices. It could be less suited from my point of view to small IoT projects due to the steeper learning curve. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Pros	UI/UX and visualisation part is the awesome. Incentivized Parikshit Kumar Bais IoT Engineer Read full review	Very Strong Security Standards. Good documentation and easy to implement. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Cons	have additional languages remote location access Incentivized JH Jose Hernandez computer technician Read full review	Its expensive for individual use and price needs to be decreased. Documentation of IOT hub is a little confusing and needs to be detailed. Azure edge services are mediocre as compare to Amazon edge services. Incentivized Omkar Marne Software Engineer Read full review
Support Rating	No answers on this topic	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. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Alternatives Considered	We did tests and as for the previous products there were some bugs so it was discarded and because of them we decided for Cisco that the price is high but it compensates with the network and its operations support that worked well in addition the technical support is fast. Incentivized JH Jose Hernandez computer technician Read full review	Azure IoT provides robust bi-directional communication within the cloud and can store millions of messages from the different devices on the cloud. It provides seamless communication and it's easy to integrate different IoT applications like app service and device management. It handles heavy throughput and can collect sensor data which is cool.

Return on Investment	Improved productivity secured organizational processes. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Little code scalable secure Incentivized OR Orlando Remédios CEO (Chief Executive Officer) Read full review
