Internet of Things Applications

Easy to use comparing IoT Platforms table. Building IoT project is a process that could involve the step of finding free platforms. As you may know, Internet of things is a set of physical objects that use network support to exchange data. These objects can be sensors, software, boards and so on. This is an interesting ecosystem where the software can be connected directly to real hardware or devices. The most known board for building internet of things project are Arduino (with its several versions) and Raspberry.



Integrating these devices with cloud platforms is possible to collect and analyze data, create “smart” object that can be controlled remotely.

One way to control such devices is using smartphones like Android and iOS devices. Dev Boards like Arduino or Raspberry are cheap and everyone can experiment IoT projects.

Cloud IoT platforms help developers and maker to build IoT project and test them fast and easily. It is useful to compare IoT Platforms so that it is possible to select the right one according to our needs.

[...]

The table above summarizes some aspects of these platforms, that i think they are important. The aim of this comparison is to provides some high-level information about existing IoT platforms and i invite the readers to read carefully each platform features directly on the respective website, before using it.

The are other platforms that can be mentioned here like Xively or Sensorcloud that provide interesting services even if I still haven’t time to use them.

As you can notice, there are several type of platforms with different services, every platform has its unique aspects and it is up to developers and makers to choose the right one according to the project needs.

This list comparing IoT platforms wants to help other developers when starting with an IoT project.
