Arduino vs. ThingWorx

Excellent for teaching - learning and small projects of automation, robotics, domotics in industry.It has a large development community and being a free software is widely recognized and is constantly evolving.Not very suitable for scenarios where wifi connectivity is needed, in order to make use of it, it is necessary to purchase additional products.

It is well suited for situations where you require an end-to-end platform for pushing code and managing data and security of the IoT application. However, it is not well suited for the case when you want to scale the app up to many users and this requires more from the part of the product.

• Easy interfacing with other microcontrollers
• Your IDE is versatile for programming other types of microcontrollers.

• Asset Monitoring - quick and easy to deploy, can connect to the plant floor and get real-time data from devices.
• Analytics - The TWX Analytics extension has a variety of analyses that can be done into any data source input into TWX.
• Alerts notification - you can program alerts to be sent via email/SMS seamlessly.

Incentivized

• Arduino should implement wifi communication on most of its development boards.
• Extend your protection against electromagnetic noise

Incentivized

• Advanced functionality in control and data visualization often requires additional coding from the user.
• Support and tutorials provided are often lacking in detail or are not readily transferable.
• Mashup development works poorly on small monitors or laptops.

We started more than a year ago and do not plan to replace it

Experienced and knowledgeable customer support executives, Thingworx is a very large product and contains a myriad of features which is not easy to remember without enough training or hands-on experience

Incentivized

Arduino has its own IDE which allows the programming of its development kits to be done quickly and easily, compared to others.

Incentivized

Well-suited - multiple streams from many data sources, highly scalable application scenarios.Good for a quick test of internet of things (IoT) connectivity and for deploying access via the web. Smooth deployment, easy to couple to devices. Easy cooperation with Splunk, which we use also.

Incentivized

• Positive impact on teaching processes, students find their development cards attractive.
• In projects where fast implementation is necessary, it is the best option.

Incentivized

• Good for quick deployment of customer specific control of IoT
• Good for quick test of IoT platform
• Difficult to debug complicate system
