How to choose the right IoT tool: features, benefits, and use cases

In an increasingly connected industrial environment, companies are looking to centralize the management of devices, data, and analytics. This is where an IoT platform comes into play—the key piece that enables organizations to transform information from sensors, machines, and systems into real business value.

But with so many solutions on the market, how can you choose the right IoT platform for your organization?

In this article, we compare the main options and highlight the essential features that make the difference.

What Is a No-Code IoT Tool?

A digital tool that connects, manages, and analyzes data generated by connected devices (sensors, machines, vehicles, etc.).

Its role is to act as a “central brain” that:

  • Collects data from multiple sources.

  • Organizes and processes it in real time.

  • Enables visualization of insights and automation of decisions.

In short: a no-code IoT tool turns connectivity into operational intelligence.

Key Features of a Good IoT Platform

FeatureWhy It Matters
Flexible connectivitySupports multiple protocols (MQTT, Modbus, OPC-UA, LoRaWAN, etc.) and allows integration of different types and brands of devices.
Centralized device managementMakes it easy to monitor, configure, and update thousands of devices from a single dashboard.
Advanced securityIncludes encryption, access control, and continuous monitoring.
Real-time data analyticsTurns data into meaningful metrics and alerts to support decision-making.
Scalability and modularityAdapts to business growth without losing performance.
Easy integrationSmooth connection with ERP, CRM, or cloud platforms.
No-code or low-code interfaceEnables the creation of workflows and dashboards without programming.

Benefits of Implementing an IoT Platform

  • Operational efficiency: Automates repetitive tasks and reduces downtime.

  • Predictive maintenance: Detects failures before they impact production.

  • Resource optimization: Controls energy consumption and equipment performance.

  • Full visibility: View your entire device network from a single interface.

  • Greater security and traceability: Every action or event is logged and protected.

Industrial Use Cases

  • Manufacturing: Real-time monitoring of machinery and process quality.

  • OEMs: Offer IoT-enabled solutions to their own customers.

  • Energy: Remote control of substations and early detection of incidents.

  • Smart Buildings: Manage energy consumption, access, and facility maintenance.
