AWS Greengrass Reviews & Product Details

I have been using AWS Greengrass for 2-3 years, traditionally for building IoT solutions we need to use AWS IOT which was not reliable, secure and efficient when compared to AWS Greengrass, and the best part about it is that it provides you a cloudless solution, so that latency and connectivity were improved drastically. GreenGrass can run completely offline at low latency and in a completely private environment you can send your data to AWS when you need it. Using Lambda, you can have compute operations at the edge on your hardware, it's very easy to scale up with Greengrass Group!! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The quality of support is not so good, other than that all things are good!! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

AWS Greengrass is used integrated with AWS IoT. By using AWS Greengrass, we can deploy the lambda functions locally which will sync with the cloud when connected with the internet. By locally deploying to the device, the main benefit is that every time the device doesn't have to go to the cloud for decision making, it can take decisions by itself.

Very few programming languages support AWS Greengrass and we can deploy using only AWS Greengrass, which is a major drawback. We should be able to deploy to the device using our local PC. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

AWS Greengrass extends the services of AWS on a local device. The data is generated locally and still using the cloud for management and analytics. We can also filter data from the local device and send the necessary data to the cloud. AWS Greengrass also encrypts the data from the device. We can also use AWS Lambda function locally by creating developing functions in cloud and deploying them locally. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Main disadvantage of AWS Greengrass is that we need a secure and reliable internet connection because to deploy the greengrass we need to have an active internet connection. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

AWS Greengrass is a breakthrough in the IoT industry, as it is used to deploy applications locally using the Greengrass console, which has a very simple UI for deployment. We have to select the device processor and then just follow the installation steps to install the Greengrass core, which is an integral part of Greengrass. It interacts with the cloud and contains lambda functions, and it also interacts with the cloud when connected to the internet. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We have to deploy through the cloud. If the device is in a remote location and there is no internet connection, how will we be able to deploy? And we can use selected features of lambda functions through Greengrass as it is in the developing phase. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We can install the greengrass core in our IOT device and that can interact with AWS IoT Cloud (when connected to internet) and AWS Lambda which provides us the functionality to use the features locally without connecting to the cloud Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As Greengrass was integrated in AWS last year only, so it has less library for support. Currently it only has python and NodeJS support. And We can only deploy greengrass core Using Python Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I haven't been using AWS Greengrass for too long (under a year), but have used it mostly for IOT solutions. It is reliable and I love having this at my fingertips. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I wish the support was better. I often have questions and feel that I can't get them answered directly or quickly enough. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

AWS Greengrass is very simple to use and is applicable in a wide variety of use cases. One of my former colleagues has actually developed some very cool home automation projects using GG. Eager to see this product continue to evolve. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Could be more opportunities to develop more of a partner ecosystem and integrated solutions with other technologies. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like being able to deploy to hardware.. It is flexible in many features and deployment modes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don't like the pricing model, it's a little too aggressive. It would be better to have a more flexible pricing structure. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I've found that AWS Greengrass is really ideal when working with items in my IOT. It's really easy to connect be Raspberry Pi and Intel Edison to process data from projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have not found much that I dislike about AWS Greengrass or any better alternatives. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Aws Greengrass is the major breakthrough for aws iot as we can deploy services locally on the device and it's not necessary for the device to be connected to internet. And it will sync automatically to internet to update the cloud about the status of the device Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Major drawback is that many libraries do not support aws greengrass. And for arm only python language is used. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
