What do you like best about AWS IoT Core?

The best thing about AWS IoT is Rules Engine feature that enables an AWS customer to continuously ingest, filter, process and route data that is streamed from connected devices. This allows us to interact with other AWS automated services like AWS Lambda, Kinesis, DynamoDB, ML or simply pass it to the elastic search service. Simple to use with straightforward UI. SQL statement of the rule and action triggers on every data input through the sensor. The rule also have editable Json based schema so you can simply specify each sensor and restrict outside calls by modifying the Rule. It supports HTTP, MQTT & websocket communication protocols providing secure two way communication. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS IoT Core?

There is not much to dislike on AWS IoT core serivce but the AWS IoT connection metrics have possibility of improvement. Also SQL statement special syntax for AWS IoT documentation is not that good. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is AWS IoT Core solving and how is that benefiting you?

We use it to get and scan BLE signals from mobile devices and send the data to the Elastic cache for further use. The main benefit of using this is we can check for condition on each signal scanned and can only save which we wanted. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about AWS IoT Core?

It's very helpful for companies or individuals who wanted to use iot service in their projects. It will fulfill all your need to build secure and effective pipeline for you project. It is very easy to connect local iot device to available service on AWS like machine learning service, servers etc. Very easy to control and apply custom lamba function based on you requirements. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS IoT Core?

Quite expansive compared to other company which I think attract less small companies to show interest in this. Also there were some issue when I was using like that time multi factor authentication show some compatible issue with AWS core sdk. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's useful if you are going to build a pipeline for your iot project. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is AWS IoT Core solving and how is that benefiting you?

There was a client project in which i need to gather data from their remote located iot device and need to track and build notifications system for that so client can get notifications and take required actionwhenever device goes down or cross some threshold point. In this I choose AWS IoT core service in this so that we can utilize other service of AWS as well. Like we utilize encryption service to secure data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about AWS IoT Core?

We used it for different iot devices which are used to make Communications and have an external storage which can be used by different CSI drivers to access the storage for our IOT devices. we have different iot devices which are having a hub which is connected and thus all services are being provided by this service. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS IoT Core?

Automation of services and graphical representation could be more enhanced Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is AWS IoT Core solving and how is that benefiting you?

Actually we use it as a central server for all our iot devices and it is very useful to make the communication and to keep it everything and sync so that if anything happens in the client side or we can say anything alarm triggers right so it generally it and give us response and act immediately on that error so the response time of working and acting on any thing is quite fast and we can rely upon it we can even subscribe publish all the devices and this service is it good for iot domain

The integration and the documentation provided by the aws service is quite easy and useful when we are doing the actual development and plus the services provided by the aws are quite more advanced and it has kept community support and more people are relying on a w s instead of any other service or brand.

What do you like best about AWS IoT Core?

It is the solution that they provide which covers almost all aspects of the architecture of IoT. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS IoT Core?

Sometimes things get more complicated because there are too many services related to IoT being offered by AWS, So you have to create a simple yet scalable architecture for starting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering AWS IoT Core:

AWS is providing all the aspects of IoT architecture and its supporting ingredients with high quality under one roof using which builds a purely scalable architecture.

Consider using AWS if you want a true single platform IoT services which will match your device requirements. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is AWS IoT Core solving and how is that benefiting you?

The problem that I was dealing with is to send the data from various node devices that are the crucial part of the battery-powered real-time embedded system. AWS is truly unmatchable as an MQTT broker it provides you all the power to implement a scalable solution with ease of debugging. And on top of that AWS provides you other supplement services under one roof. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about AWS IoT Core?

It has a good encryption requirements to establish the MQTT connection. In this update to IoT Core they made a wey easy to use the SDK/API.

You can use a raspberry pi or almost anything that support python or java

The give you a trial of 12 months!! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS IoT Core?

It is the opposite to be simple. Yes it has a manual but it's not clear! You have to go thought a lot of youtube videos to really understand how it works.

Amazon changed the original implementation of IBM so the good thing is the security the bad thing is the implementation of it (its awful at the very first time).

For my type of final solution i could use Ansible from Red Hat but it would has lost the IoT stuff Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering AWS IoT Core:

You must read about MQTT from IBM and have a good understanding of the quality of service stuff and also be aware of the limitations and differences with IBM standard (the big one for me was QoS and security). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about AWS IoT Core?

AWS Lambda integration for a planned smartwatch project, integration and cybersecurity is strong with use with Alexa clod and S3, for file transfer. Prevents all object injection and SQL injection attacks. Is fault-tolerant and reliable, with very low latency. It is fault tolerant and good metaphor fo rmy anti-perfectionist spirituality of cloud based computing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS IoT Core?

nothing, the service is excellent. I am satisfied with the service, though video upload latency could be decreased with client side encryption with compression and possible feature extraction as pre processing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering AWS IoT Core:

I would definitely recommend IOT core for all AI and ML applications using Sage maker and other AWS deep learning software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
