Compare Azure Sphere vs. Medigate

Azure Sphere is a robust IoT platform designed for creating solutions that begin at the silicon level and seamlessly integrate with both the operating system and the cloud. It offers secure connections, management, and protection for both new and existing intelligent devices. Your device, data, and infrastructure are safeguarded across all dimensions—hardware, software, and the cloud. You can trust that your data environment is secured through a comprehensive end-to-end IoT security framework that enables the integration of current equipment and the development of new IoT devices. By utilizing Azure Sphere certified guardian modules, you can link your existing devices to the cloud or begin embedding Azure Sphere into new devices with the provided development kit. In response to evolving threats and requirements, the platform ensures real-time security patches, operating system updates, and enhancements to your applications. Each Azure Sphere instance is backed by over a decade of Microsoft security services, which include managed updates. When you are prepared, you can implement over-the-air (OTA) updates alongside your application directly to the IoT device, ensuring continuous security and performance enhancement. This versatility empowers businesses to stay ahead in a rapidly changing technological landscape.
