FAQ
Can I change my cloud model after deployment?

Generally, yes. However, the transitioning process can be complex, given the need for data migration and IoT architecture redesign.

What are the hidden costs in SaaS vs. IaaS vs. PaaS?

In the SaaS cloud model, you have to deal with subscription fees, in PaaS, you pay for development tools and scaling, and in IaaS — for resource usage, maintenance, and infrastructure upgrades.

Which cloud model works best for infrastructure-heavy IoT projects?

IaaS is perfect for infrastructure-heavy projects, like smart cities or industrial settings.

How does WebbyLab ensure IoT solution security?

We implement encryption, multi-layer authentication, and access controls within your cloud architecture. Whether you’re working with Azure, AWS, or GCP — we ensure security following your needs.

What’s the cost of implementing IoT solutions using cloud models?

Costs can vary significantly based on your project’s scale, the chosen cloud platform, and the model (SaaS, PaaS, IaaS). Discover accurate pricing by contacting our team.

How do I choose the right cloud model for my IoT project?

To choose the right cloud platform, analyze your project’s goals, technical resources, budget, and customization needs. Also, check our self-assessment document to make your final decision.

How do security features vary across IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS for your IoT project?

IaaS cloud deployment requires you to manage most of the security aspects yourself. PaaS architecture balances security responsibilities between you and the provider, while SaaS security is largely managed by the vendor.
