IoT Hub vs Azure IoT Central
Developers should use IoT Hub when building scalable IoT solutions that require secure, reliable communication between cloud applications and a large number of devices, such as in industrial automation, smart cities, or connected healthcare meets developers should use azure iot central when building enterprise-grade iot solutions that require rapid deployment, minimal coding, and centralized device management, such as in industrial monitoring, smart buildings, or asset tracking. Here's our take.
IoT Hub
Developers should use IoT Hub when building scalable IoT solutions that require secure, reliable communication between cloud applications and a large number of devices, such as in industrial automation, smart cities, or connected healthcare
IoT Hub
Nice PickDevelopers should use IoT Hub when building scalable IoT solutions that require secure, reliable communication between cloud applications and a large number of devices, such as in industrial automation, smart cities, or connected healthcare
Pros
- +It is particularly valuable for scenarios needing device management, real-time monitoring, and seamless integration with Azure's data and AI services like Azure Stream Analytics or Azure Machine Learning
- +Related to: azure-iot-edge, azure-stream-analytics
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
Azure IoT Central
Developers should use Azure IoT Central when building enterprise-grade IoT solutions that require rapid deployment, minimal coding, and centralized device management, such as in industrial monitoring, smart buildings, or asset tracking
Pros
- +It is ideal for scenarios where you need to connect thousands of devices, visualize real-time data, and implement rules or analytics without deep infrastructure expertise, reducing development time and operational overhead
- +Related to: azure-iot-hub, azure-functions
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
The Verdict
Use IoT Hub if: You want it is particularly valuable for scenarios needing device management, real-time monitoring, and seamless integration with azure's data and ai services like azure stream analytics or azure machine learning and can live with specific tradeoffs depend on your use case.
Use Azure IoT Central if: You prioritize it is ideal for scenarios where you need to connect thousands of devices, visualize real-time data, and implement rules or analytics without deep infrastructure expertise, reducing development time and operational overhead over what IoT Hub offers.
