Some of the best IoT platforms and tools for data collection, processing, visualization, and device management. There is a wide range of open-source IoT device management platforms. The open-source format generally allows administrators and businesses to self-deploy and self-serve the platform if they prefer. However, platform vendors will usually offer customer support and extended services, such as implementation assistance. Organizations that don’t have a resident IoT expert will often want to utilize these services. IoT Analytics tracks more than 1,000 large and small vendors offering software for IoT scenarios. Although two companies are clearly leading the market, the overall landscape remains fragmented. As verifying which vendor fits into which IoT software type is almost impossible, we decided to present a chart entirely created by IoT end-users from our survey (rather than a secondary research analysis). These are the IoT software companies our survey participants used, and from our point of view, it is a good view of the market even though several vendors are missing. Some vendors may feel they should also feature in another IoT software category.
