IoT Cloud Platform Landscape

Find and compare IoT Cloud Platform providers. Quickly narrow your choices based on your feature requirements, vertical market focus and vendor hardware integrations.

Developing for the Internet of Things is a complex endeavor, and nobody wants to do it from scratch. IoT data platforms offer a jumping-off point by combining many of the tools needed to manage a deployment from device management to data prediction and insights into one service.

Providers of platforms include pure-play 3rd party platforms, hardware vendors, connectivity providers, and system integrators.

The following Channel Guide will help you:

  • Help narrow down your platform requirements (end-to-end, open source, etc)
  • Filter based on feature sets, API, architecture, apps and pricing.
  • Comparisons based on platform focus (analytics, mobile, device integrations)
