Particle has been helpful in filling a technology gap for our product. Their team has been responsive. From what I can tell their hardware does exactly what it has been designed to do with only minimal troubleshooting required Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Have not experienced any notable downsides as of yet Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The robust developer community was the hook for the company which implemented particle. I freelanced for said company and they wanted an IoT solution that works from the cloud and uses lesser bandwidth than any other solution in the market. The cellular+mesh was a great place to start exploring. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While the Web IDE allowed us to write code from the browser, it was slightly buggy at times not being able to flash it. However, this isn't a deterrent but more of an irritant. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Particle makes it easy to onboard and connect to cloud. With its cloud functions, it makes it easier for makers and creators to create IOT products and solve real problems, with less friction. It provides an ecosystem, which reduces dependencies on multiple platforms which helps with easy onboarding, monitoring and troubleshooting of your IOT applications.

Combination of a powerful device and reliable support. The support is prompt and extremely competent. I recognize names from the very early days of using a Photon. They've grown up with the product and very knowledgeable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The reliability of Particle products. Also the integration brings many possibilities. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Not enough inputs. It would be great to have. a device with more I/Os. I also wish there were more accessories such as Screw Terminal Breakout Board Expansion Shields.

Now in 2021, I find it lacks processing power. It's really too slow. A much cheaper bare ESP32 is much much much faster. If you want speed, Particle is no longer competitive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Ease of development and a very cost-effective solution. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Greater resources for taking it from development to production, particularly with the issue of creating accounts & tokens for users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Easy to program, great core, bootloader, no hassle. OVER THE AIR PROGRAMMING Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Particle Cloud costing extra, but you can still use the boards without it so not a big deal. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

So easy to develop with, that browser based IDE is great ! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing much to say on this side, it’s great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Online statistics and flashing makes it easy to manage connected devices without access. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The cellular connectivity is optimized for the particle SIM and uses more data with 3rd party SIMs due to sleep and reconnect. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
