## ThingSpeak Reviews
  ### 1. Great tool for measuring physical world

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Capital Markets | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** July 09, 2019

**What do you like best about ThingSpeak?**

We develop apps for Fortune 500 and hedge funds to count stuff---cars, ships, customers in and out. Its API is very easy to use and we have not any downtime recorded. ThingSpeak makes the iOT real and usefull...great app!

**What do you dislike about ThingSpeak?**

It has taken them a while to get all the parts working together. Understandable--now it sings

**What problems is ThingSpeak solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We set up vehicle ingress and egress from shopping centers to measure traffic at many locations. ThingSpeak makes it easy to collect the data and array.

  ### 2. Incredibly analytical yet visually aesthetic

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Financial Services | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** July 10, 2019

**What do you like best about ThingSpeak?**

Very unique analytics platform service that narrows down a lot of big stressors and consolidates them into easy-to-understand visuals

**What do you dislike about ThingSpeak?**

Can be somewhat difficult to use at times but practice makes perfect

**What problems is ThingSpeak solving and how is that benefiting you?**

It really does do what its functionality is designed -- to retrieve data using the HTTP protocol -- so know what you can use this for before investing time.

  ### 3. Thingspeak is Alright

**Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Design | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** October 04, 2017

**What do you like best about ThingSpeak?**

ThingSpeak is a expansion on what used to be ioBridge. The developers of the product originally were awesome. ThingSpeak allows for pretty easy integration of the IOT and the web for non technical users.

**What do you dislike about ThingSpeak?**

MathWorks is not a great owner of the product - it wads better before the ownership change.

**Recommendations to others considering ThingSpeak:**

Strongly consider other vendors. 

**What problems is ThingSpeak solving and how is that benefiting you?**

ThingSpeak allows for easy integration of IOT devices with the web for further publishing and integration.
