Executive Summary
The IoT is set to bring a new dimension to how facilities are managed, controlled and optimised. This report provides a detailed fact-based comparison of the 13 most prominent IoT platforms for smart buildings available on the market today. Based on the proprietary Verdantix Green Quadrant methodology, the analysis is based on two-hour live product demonstrations and vendor responses to a 108-point questionnaire. To understand customer needs, Verdantix conducted in-depth interviews with 10 software buyers at organizations that occupy mid-to-large real estate portfolios and analysed the data from a survey of 304 real estate and facilities management decision-makers. This market is clearly at an early stage, with high levels of customer interest, but there are an equal number of questions on how to drive value from these solutions in practice. Our analysis concludes that seven vendors have taken an early lead in this market as they demonstrated an excellent breadth of functionality and good market momentum. The analysis also reveals that six other vendors offer strong propositions in asset and facilities management, energy management and space and workplace management.
