    "Azure IoT Hub review"

    5 out of 5 stars Posted 2022-03-04

    Pros: The Azure IoT Hub is very easy to create, configure, and develop code against.

    We were able to easily integrate different IoT devices, and extra data for reporting.

    Cons: No real negatives encountered. We've used it extensively for 3+ years and its worked well for us.

    Overall: I have used it successfully in teaching an IoT course for the past several years in our local high school, with good results.
    Students ultimately build individual course projects, and were able to leverage the Azure IoT Hub easily, and with good results.
    Would definitely use again!
