What it is

Cumulocity IoT connects and manages equipment, turns device data into context, and supports application building and operational decisions.

The platform normalizes device data and provides real-time analytics and dashboards; optional DataHub supports SQL queries through standard ODBC/JDBC interfaces. Deployment options include cloud SaaS and on-premises Cumulocity Edge, including air-gapped operation. Security controls include X.509 authentication, device-initiated connections, secure remote access, and fine-grained permissions; multi-tenancy and role-based access control manage separation and access. Starter costs €215 a month, billed annually, and includes 2.5M messages monthly, one tenant, 30-day data retention, and a 95% uptime guarantee. A 30-day trial supports up to 10 devices.
