I'm using Google Beacon Tools and related products to provision devices, connect to nearby beacon devices, and to learn about messaging and advertising protocols of the IoT Cloud development project suites offered by Google and Apple.

Pros

Google's IoT Cloud offerings are largely based on proximity marketing and advertising from up and out of the beacon technology products offered by several companies, including Apple's iBeacon. Google offers their own open source beacon technology called Eddystone, and it's easy enough to provision a device as an advertising beacon through BLE advertisement using various tools offered on the Google Play Store. The Google IoT Cloud Platform is supported by a robust suite of APIs which feature a la carte provisions of various aspects of implementing nearby and proximity development goals of the IoT developer.

Cons

It's an early development model still, on my end, but I'm optimistic about learning how to use the tools and APIs offered by Google and other developers as far as bringing a proximity marketing and nearby connections technology product in to the apps marketplace.

I use Google Bacon Tools to connect to other Bacon devices.
Let's try to find out about the messaging and advertising protocols of Google and Apple's IoT Cloud Development Project suites.

Pros

Google's IoT Cloud offers typically rely on the equivalent marketing and advertising of Bacon technology products from a number of companies, including Apple's Ibicon.

Cons

I am in the early stages. But the apps that Google and other developers market are equally marketable and
Connection technology can bring products and is quite curious to know how to use them.

Positive and the pricing is better than others for many of the features we needed. Would recommend to anyone needed a value based IoT Cloud hosting solution

Pros

Easy to use and works great with IoT based hardware, like our Point of Sale systems. Many options to configure how you want to install software to run from Google Cloud IoT. Software and backup can be done on the same Google Cloud IoT account, allowing multiple systems and configurations to be done.

Cons

Speed can differ at times and a few times servers were down, our software can cache and keep running for up 2 hours without issues, and never had Google IoT down for more than 15mins.

Powerhouse for IoT Mobility Fleet

Real-time analytics on the data generated by mobility fleet.

Real-time analytics on the data generated by mobility fleet.

Pros

Right from the onboarding, configuring to daily use, for our mobility fleet, Google Cloud IOT has always been up to our expectations. Its integration with Android SDK and the highest level of compatibility with our mobile apps has made the experience even better. In the end, everything boils down to the pricing, and it has been really effective for our use. Per second pricing makes more sense, as we can avoid costs during our down-times and pay only when our fleet is in use and communicating with the platform.

Cons

Despite being an amazing platform, the limitation which impacted us the most was its compatibility with our prototype IoT hardware. This had set us back by a few months, as we had to change the IoT hardware to something which would be more compatible with Google Cloud. I only wish that it could be integrated with all the components available in the market.

Used for monitoring, registration, diagnostics and for web administration even for a very easy to use mobile application.

Pros

Fully managed data storage, and Control access and visibility of resources on a platform protected by the Google security model.

Cons

The only disadvantage that you see is Our data files are located in a remote place so we lose their direct control and this control happens to be in charge of the company providing the service.
