What do you like best about Golioth?

Really robust and complete feature set

Team that contributes a lot to the embedded firmware ecosystem

Lots of great guides and helpful staff happy to jump on a call and assist and take the time to understand the use case

Clear that the Golioth team has a wealth of experience backing their technical design and decision making Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Golioth?

The only downside to Golioth is they don't officially support the Arduino framework for the ESP32, meaning our codebase had to be migrated to esp-idf which was too much overhead for our small team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Golioth?

- For what you can do with it, which is a huge amount, the interfaces have been made really easy to use.

- The data included with the free plan is a useful amount for development.

- Great, open-source examples and templates to follow and build your own project from. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Golioth?

The Zephyr dependency can be a steep kerb to climb if you aren't already familiar with it but it totally makes sense why Zephyr has been chosen as the foundation for Golioth. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Golioth?

Compatibility with state of the art OSes with Zephyr, with over the air support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Golioth?

The boilerplate required to provision devices with support for the solution. Also it creates a full dependency on cloud for all management. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Golioth?

Flexibility. We are able to send data to multple cloud services, visualuze data and have freedom to decide where we want to store the data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Golioth?

Had many issues setting up the esp32-s3 using the arduino framwork as the guides were outdated. Which was very unfortunate as the platform and its features fit our needs perfectly otherwise. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

2.5/5
What do you like best about Golioth?

It's existance to us, easy going dvelopers who want to do things ar habd! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Golioth?

I am not sure weather this is a problem of Golioth, but I face it when I have started using Golioth. For example, it is still not under my hood, I am still learning to eventually get it done, maybe I have too much on my plate, anyway, its a new context to swollow, but not impossible to be sure! In short, the manuals could be shorter, easier to get going for novice player like me, for example. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Golioth?

I would say pricing for large-scale deployments Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I liked that the pricing was free for individual use. Allowing ease of testing and product evaluation to see if golioth was a good resource in the future. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Golioth?

Hesistant about the data collection going on. I haven't looked into it a ton since I haven't spent extensive time using it and won't be using it for production, howver, this could be a concern. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
