The connectivity of a device can be LoRaWAN using your own provider, The Things Network, Loriot or it can be connecting using http. Dataflows with any number of outputs can be assigned to a device to know exactly where your data is going and how it must be shaped. Rules can be defined to trigger outcomes based on input conditions, making it a versatile hub for IoT devices. > > **Cons**: Many ready made profiles for IoT-devices are yet to be added to the platform, although the existing amount is steadily growing and is already extensive. > > The platform is ideal to rapidly register a device e.g. with LoRaWAN connectivity, take care of all the payload decoding, applying rules with conditions and forwarding the data to your own storage/visualization/processing solution. ----- ### "IoT platform for sensor data" — 4.0/5 > **Philipp** | *5 November 2021* | Oil & Energy | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: Ease of use Ability to use javascript code for complex logic where neccessary Professional 2-way integration with Loriot LNS customizable tables - possibility to freely add/remove columns with lots of options > > **Cons**: No integrated data visualisation in V1 (is available in V2) Complex setup of standard tasks in V1 (battery warnings, connectivity warnings) > > Akenza is a very helpful partner doing much more than just providing software. They helped us developing IoT use cases and shared their rich experience. The contact (support, sales) is always fast, professional, friendly and helpful - this is the thing we like most about Akenza. ----- ### "Easy device management" — 5.0/5 > **Lukas** | *24 August 2022* | Industrial Automation | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: I get a simple device management and various integrations to send the data to my overlaid system. So I can easily integrate LoRa sensors into our Emalytic system. > > **Cons**: Unfortunately, I don't have enough time to test all the new features that come back again and again. ----- ### "Outstanding comunicación and technical support" — 5.0/5 > **Gavardo** | *18 August 2021* | Consumer Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Straightforward, simple to use and with excellent support at all levels. They will go the extra mile to help you get your use case up and running. Akenza has worked as a true team at all levels, from one of the founders to the solutions team, to marketing and of course customer support, to get things up and running. I am very impressed and happy to work with them. > > **Cons**: On the other hand it is a new Cloud Sevice, so new features are added frequently, which is great, but sometimes you might encounter bugs or glitches, which they will quickly fix. ----- Page: 1 / 2\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/221578/akenza?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/221578/akenza) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | fr | | ----- ## Structured Data
