"Onboarding and first impressions were good. Up and running quickly. and worked as described"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Golioth?

The UI is very intuitive: enough slick for what you need to interact with your devices, but no extra. Given that we were trialling Golioth among others, we only flashed the basics example, played around quickly with that, and confirmed the OTA behaviour.

We did not get to try out the HTTP API, but it looked good from the reference docs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Golioth?

We were using the ESP-IDF SDK and it took some time to find out that it does not support V5.x. It is mentioned in the docs (we missed it on the first read) but the runtime errors were non-existent, and the resulting behaviour was that the platform just didn't do what it's advertised (in our case, OTA was failing with obscure reasons).

The log messages are hard to read on the UI, but I guess a final solution would be to have them sent elsewhere for aggregating (elastic search, etc), so this is not a biggie. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Golioth?

The training, and not just the training but the containerized toolchain using Kasm. I don't know of any other companies in this space making it so easy to use Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Golioth?

I think there can be a use for a self hosted version of the console. Sometimes a cloud service is not always the best in every environment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
