IBM Watson IoT (Legacy) Likes & Dislikes

The ability to perfomr real-time analytics on IoT data streams The platform offers robust security features to help ensure the confidentiality, integrity, adn availability of IoT data. That includes a range of compliance features to help organizations adhere to industry regulations.

What I like the most about this product/platform is the easy integration with Watsons Machine Learning functionality allowing us to get the best out of the data.

1) Real time data and analytics 2) less paper work 3) Realtime tracking of shipment 4) Easy forcasting 5) Unable us to do warehouse automation 5) collaboration between shipper and consignee 6) Inventory Management

The complexity of the platform can make it diffucylt for new users to get started. Setting up and configuring the platform requieres a significant amount of time and effort. The cost can be prohibitive for some organizations, particularly smaller bussines or startups Integrating the platform with existing systems can be a challange.

Performance. The stabilization of the platform due to the poor performance on multiple occasions made us have to dedicate a lot of time, resources and complaints to the suplier. Apparently it has already been fixed but it was a major and constant annoyance.

IOT is new to the world and this will keep in evolving
