  ### 3. IoT is a great platform for managing devices

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Andy A. | Senior Software Engineer, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 28, 2018

**What do you like best about AWS IoT?**

I like the idea of a shadow devices.  Interacting with device shadows is a great abstraction for devices that are frequently disconnected.  The fact that you can set requested state and you can also receive reported state from the device is a great idea.  I also like thing groups and the ability to send jobs to individual groups.  This is exremely useful when you have a fleet of devices with different hardware implementations.  This allows us to push firmware updates to just specific device types.

**What do you dislike about AWS IoT?**

Job executions are expensive.  We have a lot of test devices that will never receive the jobs, but we still pay 3 cents for each one.  It be better if it was charged if the job got past queued.  The other thing is that jobs seem to never go away, even for single device jobs in which the device reports it completed the job successfully.

**Recommendations to others considering AWS IoT:**

Provisioning lots of devices is not the easiest, so create an automated system for that.

**What problems is AWS IoT solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We are provisioning and updating cameras and sensors.  We are receiving sensor readings and camera images.

**What do you like best about AWS IoT?**

Make life easier by being able to monitor everything from the cloud. Facilitating the communication of devices with the cloud. And so you can control whatever you want from anywhere. Avoiding time spent on travel and solving things for the client from home. It's annoying to be called at untimely hours or days, but even more so to have to travel to the place to get a solution.

**What do you dislike about AWS IoT?**

I don't dislike anything. The only thing I would say is that I haven't had any hacking problems, but since it's cloud-based, they must be very attentive and constantly updating their protection of my data in the cloud. Although I believe the company knows this and they are very attentive to it.

**Recommendations to others considering AWS IoT:**

It is implemented with IoT, which is appreciated for its ease of use. At first, it's hard to get familiar with, but in no time you can't live without it. The only thing is its high cost... they should lower the costs!
