Can I try remote access before I choose it as an option?

Of course. We have a demo unit set up in our office for such reasons. Contact us and one of our sales/support team will be happy to set up a Teams or Zoom call to show you how it works.

How secure is my data?

As per the MQTT communications protocol, the data is encrypted meaning it is as secure as it can be.

I want to move data into my own cloud based data storage. Can I do this?

With some industry standard MQTT integration, this would be possible.

I want to add data from other sources into Data InSite®. Can I do this?

Yes, although it is best if the data is imported as HTML, MQTT, .csv or added manually. If your data is in another format, please contact us to discuss.
