SAP Leonardo IoT (Legacy) Likes & Dislikes

Like

Its fast implementation, besides being easy to use.

Like

Resilience of the overall platform is good, but the real advantage is the presence of customizable edge components

Like

Core IoT platform and Application Enablement services which allows consumers to easily build IoT application with minimal effort of operating the IoT platform and infrastructure. Besides, SAP is willing to listen, discuss and collaborate on customizing the platform for customer's use cases (of course if it's also potentially relevant to other customers).

Dislike

Some failures presented, but easy to resolve.

Dislike

Being a cloud platform it shouldn't require a preventive dimensioning, should automatically scale

Dislike

The Core IoT Platform (i.e. MQTT broker side) and Application Enablement service is maintained by a different team. The 2 platform is bridge by Kafka. There seems to be a disconnection and inconsistency (sometimes integration challenge) between these 2. Also, unlike other IoT platform on public cloud such as on AWS/Azure which allows on-demand and pay-per-use, SAP's approach is that customer has to negotiate and sign contracts to utilize the platform in larger scale. This means barrier of entry, but the good side is that customer engagement is present.

    SAP has quite some experience on Industry IoT, however, in the case of Consumer IoT it's still not as mature. Overall experience is more than decent, with plenty of features and application enablement services which helps us to deliver IoT solution quickly and without needing to manage too much of core IoT platform (unlike in AWS or Azure).
