Particle vs. ThingsBoard

Particle is suitable for any company that needs to configure multiple devices and have better control over them.

The benefits are many, from computer integration, integration with DBA, also integrable with RPA.

Immediate installation on cloud VM

• 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.

• API integration
• users management
• easy to use
• great UI
• Easy to upgrade
• Few configuration task

• For Advanced programs, a bit complicated to programme.
• Pin Limitations (Photon DevKit).
• Pricing is high compared to others.

near to Zero Conf

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.

AWS -> too loud :)

• Sometimes Cloud Analytics fails due to less network.
• Can't check properly in Cloud Editor it's connected to network or not.
• It uses more power in WiFi Module.

• TB CE is real production tool
• TB CE is quite the same as TB PE so move to PE is easier
