Overall Satisfaction with Upswift

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We are using UpSwift on our fleet of nest box cameras, which are located around the world. Before using UpSwift, we were unable to scale up our fleet of nest box cameras, because we needed the ability to remotely monitor and manage the devices, should any problems occur. Having the platform it allows us to deal with any problems with the nest boxes, such as services failing and get email notifications if anything goes wrong. It allows us to get on with developing our network without having to troubleshoot problems all the time.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Remote SSH access of edge devices that sit behind a firewall
Monitor running systemd processes
Send realtime edge device data to the platform such as CPU temperature

Cons

None

Return on Investment

Ability to scale our network

Alternatives Considered

I haven't really found any other product or service which does the same as UpSwift, therefore I have not needed to look for alternative products

Likelihood to Recommend

For us, it has been well suited for monitoring devices that are placed remotely and have no easy access to. Most of our devices are sent to customers which we have little or no contact with. Rather than the customers finding a problem, reporting it to us and then us investigating it. We can just be notified of the problem and deal with it without the customer realising.
