Particle is suitable for any company that needs to configure multiple devices and have better control over them.
The benefits are many, from computer integration, integration with DBA, also integrable with RPA.

I have used other IoT Development Modules like Arduino, Raspberry Pi, and others. Most of all starter kit doesn't come with WiFi or Cellular built-in. Arduino is a basic module where you have to add WiFi or Cellular manually in it. Raspberry Pi has WiFi but it cannot be used for small or medium use cases, it can be used in advanced and complex systems building and it is costlier.

Return on Investment
  • Sometimes Cloud Analytics fails due to less network.
  • Can't check properly in Cloud Editor it's connected to network or not.
  • It uses more power in WiFi Module.
