akenza Pros and Cons

For me, one of the best things about Akenza is that the platform is easy to use and everything just works! There are easy workflows that you can customize (e.g. an off-the-shelf gateway connected to your recently purchased sensor which then pushes all of your collected data via API or email). And the workflows are built with "connectors." Everything is self-explanatory and there is a lot of documentation. I built a custom LoRa device that I was having trouble setting up and the Akenza team helped me set up best IoT practices and is always available when I need them. I've been with Akenza for about 1.5 years and have been sending data from 8 devices for the last year. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The basic setup is super intuitive, but diving into more advanced features, like setting up custom integrations, took a bit of trial and error. Some more examples would be helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

With the akenza platform, we significantly reduce development time and maintenance effort needed to aggregate and harmonize data from our edge devices and sensors. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Pricing and billing should be more transparent. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find pre-built device profiles and data flow management which are already created in Akenza useful. Installation of new sensors is quite simple and I can simply reroute the data to any application of my choice. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Akenza already has limited data visualization capabilities. It is somewhat limiting to develop Infographics or Customize your Dashboard, or do some further analytical work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

In Akenza I can quickly integrate almost any sensor or device with LoRaWAN and many other options. I was able to easily create how my devices would connect using the drag-and-drop feature for rules and automations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Regarding data visualization, there are some gaps in Akenza’s offering. This makes it hard to evaluate the trends and decide on insights garnered by my adorning devices. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The configuration is simple to manage because of the WiFi provisioning procedure. The remote control layout is impressive for its ability to control multiple devices and apps. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I found it a little difficult to learn and use, but eventually it went smoothly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really like that there's some preexistant models for a diffrent kind of devices. The dashboards looks great and they're easily customizable.

The support is really amazing, they're extremly supportive and proefficient, it help me a lot with my first sensor installation.

The LoRa integration with some third party provider is also well appreciated! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Maybe that a guide with some first steps to create the first devices may be useful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Akenza provides a great way of connecting devices through CoAP. We had been searching for some time and tested other platforms providing CoAP connectivity, but unfortunately, they didn't provide what we were looking for. With Akenza, we successfully connected our edge devices using mobile NB-IoT connectivity. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The documentation for CoAP was not fully clear on how to setup the connection, and it took some discussions with support to get it right. They were very helpful and we got it quickly working. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The support team has been amazing, from initially onboarding, adding new features to the platform to support my devices and then assisting through the online chat to get my custom devices working on the platform. Seeing how customisable the platform is and how great the support team has made my decision to grow my platform usage and completely changed my way forward from a technology design point of view.

There is nothing that is not working well with the platform or the team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
