12 of the Best IoT Platforms

*Updated for 2017

The Internet of Things (IoT) is the exploding network of objects, sensors, and “things” connected to the internet.

The IoT ecosystem contains a number of different types of companies focusing on hardware, device management, middleware, connectivity, security, analytics, and more. Complete IoT platform companies are particularly valuable to anyone looking to deploy a real IoT application.

It is easy to list out the major core cloud providers that are playing in the IoT like AWS, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud. Utilizing these services often requires some pretty experienced architects and engineering depth to build and manage a complete IoT solution.

In this post, we’ll take a look at platforms that simplify the implementation of complete IoT solutions, from data ingestion to front-end applications. These IoT-as-a-Service platforms reduce, and at times, eliminate the need for large, in-house IoT development teams. Think of these companies as an application layer built on top of a core cloud provider, abstracting out the complexities of deployment, scale, security, compatibility, APIs, etc. These platforms are critical to reducing time-to-market and costs for many IoT projects.

Below is a list of 12 platform companies simplifying the process of implementing an IoT application.

In no particular order…

Initial State

Visit Website

Initial State a data platform for the Internet of Things (IoT), making it easy for anyone, from novice to enterprise, to send data from sensors and applications to a cloud where that data can be accessed anytime and instantly turned into something awesome – interactive real-time dashboards, charts, statistics, notifications, webhooks, etc.

Individual accounts are available with detailed pricing for each tier listed here. Enterprise features such as hosted, white-labeled solutions can be found here.

Cayenne – myDevices

Visit Website

myDevices is an Internet of Things solutions company that accelerates IoT development and empowers enterprises to quickly design, prototype, and commercialize IoT solutions. Cayenne is a drag-and-drop IoT project builder application enables engineers, makers, network operators and system integrators to quickly and easily develop and deploy IoT solutions across a wide variety of verticals.

Individual accounts are available with detailed pricing for different features listed here. Pricing for enterprise accounts, including professional services, can also be found here.

Ubidots

Visit Website
