Build vs. Buy: Can Low-Code Deliver on the Promise?

Deciding whether to build custom IoT solutions or buy off-the-shelf cloud platforms is critical for large-scale projects. At Blynk, we simplify this decision by highlighting three key aspects to consider:

01

Cost and Time Efficiency

Build:

  • Long Time to Market: End-to-end IoT solutions take longer to develop.
  • High Costs: Significant investment in both time and resources.
  • Expertise Needed: Custom development demands specialized skills.

Buy: 

  • Faster Impact: Get to market faster with pre-built solutions.
  • Predictable Costs: Transparent pricing with no hidden fees.
  • Out-of-the-Box Cloud Infrastructure: Shared or private cloud available.

02

Customization and Control

Build:

  • Total Control: Oversee every aspect of your IoT infrastructure.
  • Tailored Solutions: Customize to meet your unique requirements.
  • Custom-Built Security: Design security features that fit your needs.

Buy: 

  • Effortless Customization: Easy integration and user friendly experience.
  • Enterprise-Grade Security: Robust, industry-standard security measures.

03

Scalability and Reliability

Build:

  • Scaling Challenges: Custom solutions can be resource-intensive to scale.

Buy: 

  • Proven Reliability: Rely on solutions tested in real-world scenarios.
  • Easy to Scale: Seamlessly expand your solution as your business grows.
