Abstract

The use of the Internet of Things (IoT) is growing, and cloud-based IoT platforms are a fundamental component of IoT applications. There are several platforms with different functionalities, capacities, prices, and limitations. In this scenario, how to choose the most suitable platform? What criteria to use in this choice? This work performs a comparative analysis of a set of IoT platforms with cloud-based architecture through a consistent and well-defined method. In addition to being more current than the literature currently available, the study considers a higher number of comparison criteria than the related research presenting valuable information for the community involved with IoT.
