- excellent Project Teams in the beginning of our relationsship to implemnt our products into Cumulocity. In getting rid of obstacles, changing and adjusting quickly of necessary features or adding new features and this so always with long term thinking! - this excellence continued also after migration got completted successfully over the globe. Support given is indeed exceptional to this very day. I do not want to compare and cannot disclose other companies here though. But from a couple of years experience I can tell. - Cumulocity has grown into a major pillar of our device management. - Cumulocity is up to its tasks, enabling us to perform worldwide operations in a very - very quick manner. I am not a sales person nor from finance, but it safes a lot money. - the vendor Software AG is also supporting very well on the continuous improvement of our needs with adding new features into Cumulocity throughout the versions they deliver. Its also a give and take, C8Y benefits from our use cases for others most likely as well. - the term exceptional may be inflationary used, but if I may emphesize the development teams of R&D in SAG, the service managers, operations and also in cases of unexpected issues, their solution management is truely exceptional.

Performance of Cumulocity Platform Across Market Features

Cumulocity Platform Likes & Dislikes

Like

1. bulk operations - deliver software/configurations to a huge batch of devices in a very quick way. - I believe the system under the hood of C8Y is made specially for this 2. very quick and easy way to find distinct devices, manage this device, adjust, etc. 3. robust system, with growing fleet, quickness of the GUI, operations, events is not decreast. Of course increase of nodes regularly are necessary. But that is taken care of very well together with my colleagues and SAG.

Like

Dash board functionality(GPS, sensor value monitoring, etc),because it's easy to develop.

Like

The platform is immediately operational and offers a range of native services (connectivity, monitoring, analytics) that can be used directly by non-technical teams without additional development. Cumulocity also provides its users with the ability to develop additional custom features. The following features have been really appreciated: - Extensibility: the platform's ability to integrate custom microservices and applications adds significant value beyond standard IoT features - Powerful API and CLI tools: well-documented and robust, enabling easy integration with scripts and programs. - Rich Open-source ecosystem : A vast open-source community and resources

Dislike

- Groups - Smart Groups (dynamic groupping) = they are on one page together, can result in chaos, poor visibility. Too many people / opionins and such problems ;) Cumulocity is looking into an improvement though! - User management as an admin, for a lot users is a bit tough / time consuming

Dislike

nothing

Dislike

- Maintaining custom applications or microservices may require development time to follow platform releases in SAAS deployment architecture because of complexity. - Few native features for monitoring usage of custom microservices - The built-in MQTT integration is cumbersome and resource-intensive to set-up

    Mar 30, 2026
    Overall, Cumulocity has enabled our teams to connect and manage many types of assets across clients' sites. The platform has allowed our operational team to quickly and completely become independent from the technical teams. The platform also excels in developer-friendly features (API, CLI, SDKs, open-source tools) to upgrade functionalities to custom requirements.

    Having worked with IoT for over 7 years and evaluated/worked with several IoT platforms, I can confidently confirm that Cumulocity is indeed one of the most complete IoT device management platforms, It offers a good amount of flexibility when it comes to customizing the platform to suit our business needs and our technical constraints/vision. It also supports a various range of technologies. It is proven to scale to a huge number of IoT devices.j

    Customizing Strengths Noted but Update Quality Concerns After Acquisition

    4.0
    Mar 23, 2026
    Overall it is a great IoT plattform. I like the possibilties and customizing options. I like the support and contact to the Cumulocity team. I am not sure about the AIoT part, at the current state it's more marketing with the buzzword AI for me. I am also not sure about the buyout. I think after the buyout the update quality got worse and we recognize more bugs.
