"Versatile Open-source Industrial IoT Cloud Platform"

5/5

What do you like best about ThingsBoard?

1) Different types of widgets available to make a professional dashboard on the go.

2) Rule Engine to do custom alarm notification, 3rd Party plugins.

3) Many Communication Protocols available to connect various types of devices.

4) IT/OT application support like fleet management, Predictive Maintenence

5) The community version is free and has almost all the required functionality

6) It has an Audit trial, User management, Device Management, and many other High-level functionalities required for Industrial IoT applications.

7) Also recently they have released python-based gateway code which helps to connect various devices via different communication protocols and directly send the data to the Thingsboard Platform using HTTP or MQTT.

8) The Swagger API lets you for easy API connection.

9) Last but not least, the Thingsboard has good documentation and Userbase forums which helps you to get started with it and helps to develop skills in the same. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ThingsBoard?

1) Reporting features in the Professional edition are not customizable. It just takes the screenshot of the Dashboard.

2)The Widget development guide in the documentation needs to be more detailed.

3) No widgets for User inputs i.e. Comments or Numerical inputs for pushing data into a device or controller. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is ThingsBoard solving and how is that benefiting you?

1) Unlike other IoT platforms such as Grafana which just reads data from the Database for Data visualization, Thingsboard receives data through MQTT, HTTP, or API, and stores the telemetry data into the database. This way it helps to preprocess and route the data before logging into the database.

2) It has Usermanagent and device management which lets you have control over the rights of Users and devices.

3) As it somewhat follows 21CFR regulations so it can be used for 21CFR projects.
