| Edge Computing | Cloud Computing |
|---|---|
| It is good to be used for those organizations that have a limited budget to invest in financial resources. So, mid-level organizations can use edge computing. | It is generally recommended for processing and managing a high volume of data that is complex and massive enough. Thus, such organizations that deal with huge data storage use cloud computing. |
| It can use different programming languages on different platforms, each having different runtime. | Cloud Computing works for one target platform using one programming language only. |
| Security in edge computing needs tight and robust plans such as advanced authentication methods, network security, etc. | It does not need high and advanced security methods. |
| It processes time-sensitive data. | It process that data that is not driven by time, i.e., not time-driven. |
| It processes data at remote locations and uses the Decentralization approach. | It processes and deals with data at centralized locations by using a centralized approach. |
| Organizations can indulge in edge computing with the existing IoT devices, advance them, and use them. There is no need to purchase new devices. | For advancement, existing IoT devices need to be exchanged with the new ones that will cost more money and time. |
| Edge Computing is the upcoming future. | Cloud Computing is the currently existing technology. |
