The performance comparison with VPN-based approach.

Our Approach VPN based remote access

Requires no network configuration.
Provides automatic registration of device when deployed in any private network.
Requires configuration of VPN server running parallel with the platform service on the server.

Gives a consistent latency for upload and download, independent of the location of the device. Latency is highly influenced by the distance between the device and the server.

Gives auto-reconnect when the device is deployed in unreliable network. VPN server may or may not provide auto-connectivity.

Requires limited bandwidth as it uses WAMP messaging. VPN connectivity relies on high bandwidth as it channels the network over the Internet.
