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. |
