Intuitive IoT Platform with Strong Support
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.
Very reliable for joining many pieces of software
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.
Making device management and connectivity less complex
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.
Speed up the development of IoT solutions
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.

Coordinating and controlling several IoT devices
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.
First step in IoT and deployment of the first sensors
What do you like best about the product?
The possibility to pay for equipment individually. The proximity and responsiveness of customer service. The simplicity of use.
What do you dislike about the product?
The presence of a smartphone application with data preview would be a plus.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Swisscom LPN network already integrated into the platform. No need to multiply subscriptions and create additional links between the Swisscom platform and Akenza.
Great customization features, easy to handle. Support team is amazing.
What do you like best about the product?
I really like that there's some preexistant models for a diffrent kind of devices. The dashboards looks great and they're easily customizable.
The support is really amazing, they're extremly supportive and proefficient, it help me a lot with my first sensor installation.
The LoRa integration with some third party provider is also well appreciated!

What do you dislike about the product?
Maybe that a guide with some first steps to create the first devices may be useful.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
With Akenza we're able to monitor the energy consumption of our whole commune.
A great product & PaaS
What do you like best about the product?
The team is very responsive and knowledgeable
What do you dislike about the product?
There a no obvious downsides that need to be mentioned.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Integrating various IoT devices, protocols, and data sources into a single user-friendly platform. Monitoring the health and performance of IoT devices and performing regular maintenance can be resource-intensive, but it becomes super easy with Akenza.
Succesful CoAP message trial
What do you like best about the product?
Akenza provides a great way of connecting devices through CoAP. We had been searching for some time and tested other platforms providing CoAP connectivity, but unfortunately, they didn't provide what we were looking for. With Akenza, we successfully connected our edge devices using mobile NB-IoT connectivity.
What do you dislike about the product?
The documentation for CoAP was not fully clear on how to setup the connection, and it took some discussions with support to get it right. They were very helpful and we got it quickly working.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We build optical meter readers for primarily water meters. The devices connect to the internet through a mobile modem using NB-IoT connectivity. With the Akenza platform, we can quite easily get the devices connected and upload the data to the platform, where it is stored and visualized. We are currently in a test process of the platform but it seems to perform well and
Great technical support and simple, adaptable platform
What do you like best about the product?
The support team has been amazing, from initially onboarding, adding new features to the platform to support my devices and then assisting through the online chat to get my custom devices working on the platform. Seeing how customisable the platform is and how great the support team has made my decision to grow my platform usage and completely changed my way forward from a technology design point of view.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is nothing that is not working well with the platform or the team.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am monitoring a number of systems on a farm such as weather, tank levels, soil quality etc. Akenza will allow me to monitor these systems simply and easily.
