AWS Greengrass is software that lets you run local compute, messaging, data caching, sync, and ML inference capabilities for connected devices in a secure way. With AWS Greengrass, connected devices can run AWS Lambda functions, keep device data in sync, and communicate with other devices securely – even when not connected to the Internet. Using AWS Lambda, Greengrass ensures your IoT devices can respond quickly to local events, use Lambda functions running on Greengrass Core to interact with local resources, operate with intermittent connections, stay updated with over the air updates, and minimize the cost of transmitting IoT data to the cloud. ML Inference is a feature of AWS Greengrass that makes it easy to perform machine learning inference locally on Greengrass Core devices using models that are built and trained in the cloud. AWS Greengrass seamlessly extends AWS to devices so they can act locally on the data they generate, while still using the cloud for management, analytics, and durable storage. With Greengrass, you can use familiar languages and programming models to create and test your device software in the cloud, and then deploy it to your devices. AWS Greengrass can be programmed to filter device data and only transmit necessary information back to the cloud. AWS Greengrass authenticates and encrypts device data at all points of connection using the security and access management capabilities of AWS IoT Core. This way, data is never exchanged between devices when they communicate with each other and the cloud, without proven identity. * * * Seller [Amazon Web Services (AWS)](https://www.g2.com/sellers/amazon-web-services-aws-3e93cc28-2e9b-4961-b258-c6ce0feec7dd) Discussions [AWS Greengrass Community](https://www.g2.com/products/aws-greengrass/discuss) Overview by John Miranda (Digital Marketing Specialist at Amazon Web Services) Show More ## Value at a Glance Averages based on real user reviews. ### Time to Implement 2 months [ View More Pricing Information ](https://www.g2.com/products/aws-greengrass/pricing) ## Top-Rated Alternatives [ ![Azure IoT Edge](/assets/transparent-ad5be28fbcd25b7b08d2cebe1d957125437fb5407d75ee717965ad22c8808791.gif "Azure IoT Edge") Azure IoT Edge 4.1/5(12) ](https://www.g2.com/products/azure-iot-edge/reviews) [ ![Particle](/assets/transparent-ad5be28fbcd25b7b08d2cebe1d957125437fb5407d75ee717965ad22c8808791.gif "Particle") Particle 4.5/5(195) ](https://www.g2.com/products/particle/reviews) [ ![Portainer](/assets/transparent-ad5be28fbcd25b7b08d2cebe1d957125437fb5407d75ee717965ad22c8808791.gif "Portainer") Portainer 4.8/5(297) ](https://www.g2.com/products/portainer/reviews) [ View All Alternatives ](https://www.g2.com/products/aws-greengrass/competitors/alternatives) ## User Insights Average based on 23 real user reviews.

AP Atharva P. Cloud BI Engineer Enterprise (\> 1000 emp.) 7/27/2026 "AWS IoT Greengrass Brings AWS Power to the Edge with Low Latency and Offline Resilience" 4.5/5 What do you like best about AWS Greengrass? The biggest advantage of AWS IoT Greengrass is that it brings AWS capabilities directly to edge devices. Rather than sending every request to the cloud, Greengrass lets applications, Lambda functions, and containers run locally. This reduces latency and helps devices keep operating even when internet connectivity isn’t available. Its local messaging, device coordination, and cloud synchronization also make it a strong fit for industrial automation, manufacturing, smart buildings, and other remote environments where reliable on-site operation matters. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about AWS Greengrass? Deploying and managing edge software across many devices takes careful planning, especially around hardware compatibility, software updates, and version management. Troubleshooting local deployments can also be more complicated than with cloud-only applications, since problems may stem from the device hardware, the operating system, or the network. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is AWS Greengrass solving and how is that benefiting you? AWS IoT Greengrass addresses the challenge of processing IoT data close to where it’s generated, rather than relying entirely on constant cloud connectivity. Example: In a manufacturing environment, industrial cameras and sensors continuously generated operational data. AWS IoT Greengrass ran local Lambda functions to detect equipment anomalies and trigger alerts within milliseconds. The processed results were then synchronized with AWS IoT Core only when network connectivity was available, which reduced bandwidth consumption and helped ensure production systems kept operating even during temporary internet outages. Overall, this approach significantly reduced response times while improving operational reliability. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
