About Kuzzle

Kuzzle is a French vendor of IoT, data, and hypervision software built on an open-source (Apache 2.0) backend. Its Kuzzle IoT, Kuzzle Hypervision, and Kuzzle Data products let local authorities and enterprises connect sensors and equipment, centralise heterogeneous data, and supervise multi-site operations such as street lighting, buildings, water, waste, and logistics from one interface. Founded in Montpellier in 2016, Kuzzle joined the Agora Makers urban-infrastructure group in March 2026.

Pros & Cons

Pros

Open-source core (Apache 2.0, actively maintained on GitHub) reduces vendor lock-in for the data layer
Sensor-, network-, and manufacturer-agnostic, so one platform can cover lighting, buildings, water, and waste
French, sovereign hosting story suits European public-sector buyers with data-residency requirements
Ready-made use-case applications shorten time to a first deployment
Proven at scale with references such as La Poste, SNCF, Veolia, Bouygues Construction (UBY), and Alès Agglomération
Hands-on project support from scoping through scale-up

Cons

No public pricing for the commercial platforms; every quote goes through a demo request
Aimed at local authorities and large enterprises, so it is heavy for small or simple IoT projects
Few independent user reviews on G2, Capterra, or similar sites
Some site content and documentation is French-first, with mixed-language pages
Self-hosting the open-source backend requires Elasticsearch and Redis operations skills
