Windows 10 IoT Core Services

What do you like best?

The service is relatively new and has good features:

First, I rest assure that my devices will have the support from Microsoft for many years to come with regular updates every couple of months. While I can use the Internet to update the system, the updates are not Internet-dependent, you can use other methods. In some cases is a requirement).

Having said that, on the technical side, I will say that its power comes from the ability to add, remove, manage items like PowerShell, Image Recognition, SSH, Bluetooth and do it fast.

I like to use this LTSB Service along with Azure IoT Device Management since I can get excellent suggestions.

Device Health Attention is very useful, so we can increase the security level in order to evaluate the device's security easily.

You can use add-ins and create packages for IoT Core images.

Those images may contain firmware, OEM drivers along with the Windows Operating System.

Also, it's very cheap if I consider the benefits of deploying something stable quickly. Cents per device.

What do you dislike?

I'd love to see a better bridge for those who came from Windows Embedded Systems since this is basically a replacement.

There are tools, but it's always more than welcomed to have extensive and detailed documentation and tools to migrate. So we don't really need to start from zero in the future.

Therefore, this affects my decision to use the service or not. I believe there's room for improvement here.

Recommendations to others considering the product:

I like the fact that everything is in one place (service) like Azure. To have at a glance everything I need to know in their web portal.

What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?

Basic, simple, cutting edge and stable deployment thru Azure. Rational and competitive costs.
