akenza IoT Platform

What do you like best about the product?

For me, one of the best things about Akenza is that the platform is easy to use and everything just works! There are easy workflows that you can customize (e.g. an off-the-shelf gateway connected to your recently purchased sensor which then pushes all of your collected data via API or email). And the workflows are built with "connectors." Everything is self-explanatory and there is a lot of documentation. I built a custom LoRa device that I was having trouble setting up and the Akenza team helped me set up best IoT practices and is always available when I need them. I've been with Akenza for about 1.5 years and have been sending data from 8 devices for the last year.

What do you dislike about the product?

The basic setup is super intuitive, but diving into more advanced features, like setting up custom integrations, took a bit of trial and error. Some more examples would be helpful.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

We are a startup with limited capital so Akenza is helping us collect the data we need and push the data to a platform for our clients without needing to invest into backend and frontend infrastructure. This is especially important since we're at a phase where we need to focus on product-market fit and when we might pivot.

What do you like best about the product?

The configuration is simple to manage because of the WiFi provisioning procedure. The remote control layout is impressive for its ability to control multiple devices and apps.

What do you dislike about the product?

I found it a little difficult to learn and use, but eventually it went smoothly.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

This platform provides an easiest way to submit any data to our web servers and visualize the data, with logging and remote controlling of IOT devices.

What do you like best about the product?

In Akenza I can quickly integrate almost any sensor or device with LoRaWAN and many other options. I was able to easily create how my devices would connect using the drag-and-drop feature for rules and automations.

What do you dislike about the product?

Regarding data visualization, there are some gaps in Akenza’s offering. This makes it hard to evaluate the trends and decide on insights garnered by my adorning devices.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Akenza has been useful in dealing with the increasing number of IoT devices that I connect to the internet. The platform frees up the work of adding devices and starting the collection of data and setup of automations.

What do you like best about the product?

With the akenza platform, we significantly reduce development time and maintenance effort needed to aggregate and harmonize data from our edge devices and sensors.

What do you dislike about the product?

Pricing and billing should be more transparent.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Problems:
Integration of various IoT devices and systems can be technically complex and resource-intensive. Akenza simplifies this process with a user-friendly platform.
IoT systems are vulnerable to security breaches. Akenza offers security features to protect IoT networks.

Benefits:
Streamlines operations by automating processes and reducing the manual workload.
Reduces the need for custom development and lowers the barrier to entry for IoT solutions.
Provides a secure framework for IoT devices, which is critical for user trust and regulatory compliance.

What do you like best about the product?

I find pre-built device profiles and data flow management which are already created in Akenza useful. Installation of new sensors is quite simple and I can simply reroute the data to any application of my choice.

What do you dislike about the product?

Akenza already has limited data visualization capabilities. It is somewhat limiting to develop Infographics or Customize your Dashboard, or do some further analytical work.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Concerning the aspects of using Akenza, I am now able to manage and link my IoT devices in a very simple way. The pre-constructed templates and ways of data management do not require flavors of coding and I am able to concentrate on creating applications and derive solutions from the data.
