AWS IoT Device Management vs Azure IoT Hub: What are the differences?

Developers describe AWS IoT Device Management as "Onboard, organize, monitor, and remotely manage connected devices at scale". AWS IoT Device Management makes it easy to securely onboard, organize, monitor, and remotely manage IoT devices at scale. IoT Device Management lets you register your devices individually or in bulk, and manage permissions so that devices remain secure. Then, you use the IoT Device Management console to organize your devices into groups, monitor and troubleshoot device functionality, and send remote updates to your devices. On the other hand, Azure IoT Hub is detailed as "Connect, monitor, and manage billions of IoT assets". Use device-to-cloud telemetry data to understand the state of your devices and define message routes to other Azure services without writing any code. In cloud-to-device messages, reliably send commands and notifications to your connected devices and track message delivery with acknowledgement receipts. Device messages are sent in a durable way to accommodate intermittently connected devices.

AWS IoT Device Management and Azure IoT Hub belong to "Internet of Things Services" category of the tech stack.

Some of the features offered by AWS IoT Device Management are:

• Easily onboard connected devices in bulk
• Organize connected devices into groups
• Fleet indexing and search

On the other hand, Azure IoT Hub provides the following key features:

• device management
• provisioning
• bidirectional communication
