IoT device management platforms enable users to track, monitor, and manage physical IoT devices. These tools often allow users to push software and firmware updates to devices remotely. Additionally, IoT device management platforms provide permissions and security capabilities to ensure each device is protected from vulnerabilities. IT administrators mainly use these solutions, and some companies may even employ an IoT administrator to track the performance, security, and overall state of each connected device. IoT device management platforms may be used in conjunction with IoT analytics software, IoT security software, and IoT platforms, among others.
To qualify for inclusion in the IoT Device Management Platforms category, a product must:
Allow businesses to track and monitor all IoT connected devices
Provide secure access to all connected devices
Offer the ability to update software and firmware remotely
Provide users the option to organize all devices in an efficient and productive manner
