Cisco Jasper vs. ThingWorx

Cisco Jasper is well suited to enable lifecycle automation, diagnostics of your IoT devices, integrate with virtually any code or program, and manage costs. It also allows for inter-device connectivity additionally to cellular IoT connection. The AI part of it helps us protect against malware breaches and adapts to new devices easily. We would love to see an easier integration interface, as it was a complicated implementation for us.

ThingWorx is great if you want to create an MES-like solution for your company, but have data coming not only from the plant floor, but also from databases, azure, and others. You can seamlessly integrate those data and create reports like visuals and mashups. It is also a great solution if you have multiple plants and need to monitor everyone simultaneously and even compare results between locations. ThingWorx is not recommended if all you need is a BI solution, it is not a reporting software and it should not be used as it.

• Quick monitoring of extraordinary behaviour of a monitored component
• As the Kepware tools and libraries have become more integrated, the platform has an unrivalled set of interface solutions.
• Modelling is simple enough to explain to non-specialists but very powerful in its expression.

• Occasionally, it takes a long time for things to load, but that is just a feature.
• There are a few minor glitches, but nothing that affects usage.
• It was assuring security as a vendor-based solution.

• The MQTT interface needs improvement, its crashed during development of new entities on a frequent basis.
• The standard time series and trend tools are very basic and dont compare well with Top-end historians but its possible with some relative easy interfacing to use 3rd party applications.
• Care, forethought and experience is required when building complex applications, it's difficult to delete entities once the network becomes large and complex. N+Maintaining synchronicity between multiple dev and productions systems has to be carefully managed.

In our country, the subscriber management platform is not eligible since each cell phone operator opts for a particular brand, that is, we have not had an option, although we have no complaints about the platform, we feel comfortable using it. I know of other management platforms used by other operators and they are really all very well designed, but we all know about CISCO's track record in the market, which adds additional value.

Azure and Oracle IoT and Thingworx all provide very good support and very easy analytics when it comes to data streams. ThingWorx and Azure both have very good security and provide a robust set of capabilities. However, ThingWorx's main advantage is its built-in templates for custom apps that are industry-agnostic unlike many of its peers.

• It allows us to reduce costs, improve reliability, and quickly recoup our investment and achieve excellent results.
• It has complete control over its connection, messages, and remote phone services.
• Cisco Jasper 5G connectivity connects all devices well. It's a good choice for protecting sensitive data.

• The use of ThingWorx as a near-complete, full-stack industry 4.0 solution has been at the forefront of recent and ongoing research.
