Thingworx vs Amazon IoT ?

[davidc11]

Amazon recently released it's own IoT platform: AWS IoT

On the surface, it seems to be very similar to Thingworx, with the notable difference of Amazon's platform being dirt cheap (TWX turns out to be puzzlingly expensive).

Has Thingworx produced any comment on this?

I'd be very interested to hear Thingworx' response, and see what Twx proposes as compelling reasons for Twx over Amazon IoT.

It appears ThingWorx and Amazon are working together per the article above.
"ThingWorx, a PTC (Nasdaq: PTC) business and a leading Internet of Things (IoT) platform provider, today announced it is working with AWS, to support the launch of their latest AWS service, AWS IoT, a new platform that makes it easy for devices to connect to AWS services so that companies can store, process, analyze, and act on the volumes of data generated by connected devices on a global scale."

Hi David,

I made a fast look at AWS IoT and it's far far from what actually TW platform does.
