Enabling the future of IoT applications
Rating: 8 out of 10
IncentivizedUse Cases and Deployment Scope
SAP IoT Application Enablement is currently being used by our organization as a means to develop, test, and implement IoT mobile applications. This service allows us to model, and stream IoT devices and their data directly to UI5 applications to display key performance indicators and allow users to make informed decisions.
Pros
- Thing modeling is a particularly useful aspect of IoT Application Enablement.
- IoT Application Enablement supports a large number of IoT communication standards and protocols.
- It is quite easy to expose the Thing and IoT data as OData or other RESTful services
Cons
- I believe SAP is currently combining IoT Application Enablement into SAP Leonardo IoT. It will be worth seeing what extra features are available then.
Likelihood to Recommend
IoT Application Enablement is particularly useful when developing SAP UI5 applications that consume and use IoT data. There are many such examples in a number of business areas such as logistics, inventory management, process management, asset management, and others. IoT data is a key source of fuel for the intelligent enterprise.
