It does everything in one platform without learning a different cloud solution for additional capabilities required in your application. Then, having to stay up on all of their changes and new features. Deployment is incredible from edge to cloud and more.
We needed to build a real-time streaming application that required:Persistent Storage
Stateless and Stateful Services
Streaming of data in/out of the application at high rates
Complex event processing of data streams
API Management
Web and Mobile client development
Support of a distributed and federated deployment environment
Highly secure environment
Audit and Reporting
Probably more, though many solutions can do one or maybe two of these, it requires us to have many "experts" on each, which is time and money.
Vantiq provides us support for all our essential features in each of these products in one platform. Additionally, we can quickly build and reuse the functionality in the cloud or at the edge - not requiring any additional development—one codebase. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It could use more out-of-the-box integrations to existing IoT devices and applications. You can build custom connectors very quickly, but it would be better if Vantiq created and maintained them.
Vantiq does take time to become proficient - though it is offering a lot of features and would take a lot of time to investigate and learn each of the individual solutions as well. One could always use more examples and recommendations :).
Vantiq offers both public and private cloud offerings. You can use the public cloud for smaller, simpler applications, but if you require more resources, I would recommend using their private cloud. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
