I just finished a prototype IoT node project for a customer using Azure. Azure was their choice, not mine, but by the end of the development I was pretty pleased with the level of security they built into the data acquisition side. Before the Azure project I worked with some other IoT/Cloud providers and it was a lot shakier. As in, am HTTP GET with the device serial ID in the URL and that's it. My customer showed me the dashboarding they've already built with BI on the backend, it was even more advanced than the stuff I've seen from the others. Azure is no cakewalk to set up, but it seems to work really well once it is.
