Microsoft Azure IoT Edge vs. Microsoft Azure IoT Hub

It is well suited if you have a production plant and you want to cut down the cost of cloud storage. It is best for medium to large companies if they want to process their machine generated data at their production site and only store the data that is required in cloud storage. It is less appropriate for small companies.

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.

• We had some trouble such as latency issues [and] connectivity while using Azure blob storage as an Edge Module on Azure IoT Edge runtime, so they should look into it.
• We were stuck while defining the routes for different Edge Modules on Azure IoT Edge, so they should simplify it and improve the related documentation section as well.

• 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.

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.

• Very High ROI as Microsoft Azure IoT Edge completely enables the features of Edge computing.
• Real-time analytics can be achieved with Microsoft Azure IoT Edge.
• No Negative impact as such.

• Little code
• scalable
• secure
