AWS IoT Events Reviews & Product Details

We previously used AWS IoT Events for stateful event detection and alerting. Since AWS has announced the end of support for the service, we’ve migrated to event-driven architectures built on AWS IoT Core, Amazon EventBridge, AWS Lambda, Amazon CloudWatch Alarms, and Amazon Managed Service for Apache Flink, depending on the workload.

AWS IoT Events made it easy to detect stateful conditions from streaming IoT telemetry. With Detector Models, Inputs, Alarms, and Actions, we could build fairly complex event-processing workflows without having to write a custom event engine.

The service also scaled well for high-volume telemetry and integrated naturally with SNS, Lambda, and IoT Core, which made it especially useful for industrial monitoring and predictive alerting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The service required learning its detector model concepts, and debugging complex state transitions could be challenging. Since AWS announced its retirement, long-term investment in the platform was no longer practical. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It was a straightforward service to use for integrating directly with IoT devices or with aggregation tools for managing fleets of devices. It also connected seamlessly with Lambda, SQS, and SNS, along with many other services. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

That the service is being shut down in another month or so. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

the setup is very easy. using it with Pub sub client and lambda make adding functionalities to the infra very quick. The aws rtos for esp32 is a great thing to have and makes decreses baremetal programming. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

the authentication mechanism can be a bit better rather than only using certificates and identity providers for microcontrollers where storage is already scarce. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Real-Time event processing- the events enable to respond changes in IoT devices in real-time which is critical for many IoT applications. In turn, it helps to monitor and respond to changes in the device state, trigger actions based on specific events Integration with other AWS services: AWS IoT events integrates with a wide range of other AWS services like Lambda, Kinesis, and SNS which enables to build of complex IoT solution.

Limited protocol support that is, MQTT and HTTP protocols only which may create limits to the devices that connect to the IOT Events The cost might get high if a large volume of events is generated Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Easy to set up and use: AWS IoT Events provides an intuitive interface for setting up rules that trigger actions based on incoming IoT data. It's designed to be easy to use for both developers and non-technical users.

Scalability: AWS IoT Events is highly scalable, which means it can handle large volumes of IoT data without any performance issues. This makes it a good choice for businesses that need to process a lot of data quickly.

Real-time processing: AWS IoT Events can process incoming IoT data in real-time, which means you can trigger actions as soon as certain conditions are met. This can be useful in a variety of use cases, such as predictive maintenance or real-time alerting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Cost: AWS IoT Events can be expensive, particularly if you're processing a large volume of data. You'll need to carefully monitor your usage and consider cost-saving measures, such as using data retention policies or optimizing your rules.

Complexity: While AWS IoT Events is designed to be easy to use, it can still be complex to set up and configure, particularly if you're not familiar with AWS or IoT concepts. You'll need to invest time and resources in learning how to use the service effectively.

Integration with non-AWS services: While AWS IoT Events integrates seamlessly with other AWS services, integrating with non-AWS services may be more challenging. You may need to use custom integrations or third-party tools to connect AWS IoT Events with other systems.

Security: As with any IoT system, security is a critical consideration when using AWS IoT Events. You'll need to ensure that your devices are properly secured and that your data is encrypted and protected from unauthorized access. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Scalability, integration and security are the best features of AWS IoT Events.AWS IoT provides advanced security measures, such as device authentication and data encryption, to protect IoT data from potential threats. AWS IoT Events can handle large volumes of IoT device data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

All features are good about AWS IoT Events except cost, complexity and regional availability. AWS IoT Events can be expensive for small businesses. Its complexity can lead firms to hire AWS specialists, increasing the cost. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the way they set up the screen to make you feel very involved in the event or events depending on what you're using the software for. It's easy for anyone hosting as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The way they have set up the chat is quite annoying, if you have a question it can be a bit tricky to navigate between what is the support and what is not the support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the built-in visualization tools that allow creating dashboards and charts to monitor and analyze the data generated by your IoT devices and applications. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The engine rule it's a bit hard for me to define rules to detect events and trigger actions based on various conditions and patterns. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Extremely get knowledge and helpful techniques to deployment Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Till I experienced nothing even a one services that is not used in the data center Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the AWS IOT most because the algorithms of machine learnings to detect and respond to events from IoT devices are very short and quick. Also, it can handle many requests at the moment in time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes the latency provided by AWS IoT is much more. If it can be reduced, it's all good, in my opinion. Apart from this, I don't think there is anything to dislike about AWS IoT. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
