Best IoT Management Platforms

IoT management software is a class of platform that operates fleets of connected devices at scale. It provisions devices, keeps them online, distributes firmware updates, and collects the data they report. Deployments larger than a few hundred devices are impractical to administer without it.

Tools in this category include IoT Platforms, IoT Operating Systems, IoT Device Management Platforms, IoT Connectivity Management, IoT Edge Platforms, IoT Analytics Platforms, IoT Development Tools, and Digital Twin software. Businesses evaluate them based on device discovery, analytics, dashboarding, and breadth of integration. The central architectural decision is how much processing happens on the device or at the edge rather than in the cloud. That choice affects connectivity cost, latency, and behavior when the network drops.

Frequently asked questions about IoT Management Platforms

IoT Management products are ranked within each type of iot management software rather than against the whole category. Rankings use the G2 Score, an algorithm that calculates customer satisfaction and market presence based on reviews from our user community.

Satisfaction and market presence are calculated separately for each category a product appears in, so a product can rank differently in different categories. Products need enough recent reviews to be ranked, and reviews carry less weight as they age.
