AI Generated Summary
AI-generated. Powered by real user reviews.
- Users report that Google Cloud IoT Core excels in its Device Discovery feature, scoring 8.9, which allows for seamless identification and integration of devices into the network. In contrast, Azure IoT Hub, while also strong, has a slightly lower score in this area, indicating that users may find it less intuitive for onboarding new devices.
- Reviewers mention that Google Cloud IoT Core's Dashboard functionality is rated at 9.2, providing a user-friendly interface for monitoring device status and analytics. Azure IoT Hub's dashboard, rated at 8.7, is still effective but may not offer the same level of customization and ease of use that Google provides.
- G2 users highlight that Azure IoT Hub shines in Connected Device Security, particularly in its Threat Protection and Incident Response features, both rated at 7.7. Users appreciate the robust security measures, while Google Cloud IoT Core's ratings in these areas are lower, suggesting potential gaps in security features.
- Users on G2 report that Google Cloud IoT Core has a superior Remote Configuration capability, scoring 9.0, which allows for efficient management of devices from a distance. Azure IoT Hub, while functional, does not match this level of performance, making Google a preferred choice for users needing strong remote management.
- Reviewers say that Azure IoT Hub's Quality of Support is rated equally at 8.4, but users mention that the responsiveness and helpfulness of the support team can vary, leading to mixed experiences. Google Cloud IoT Core, with a higher score in Ease of Admin at 9.0, suggests a more streamlined administrative experience overall.
- Users report that both platforms offer solid Analytics capabilities, but Google Cloud IoT Core's overall analytics score of 8.9 is slightly higher than Azure IoT Hub's, indicating that users may find Google’s analytics tools more comprehensive and easier to use for deriving insights from their data.

I thought the Azure IOT hub was easy to learn how to use. I used it for an asset management project and, having never used the tool before, had no trouble navigating it.

Encryption wasn't as easy to setup as AWS. Also, you really need to be using a windows machine to leverage the IoT Hub. Expensive compared to other solutions, didn't have the flexibility of other platforms on credits/pricing.
