“I really love that balena’s support is well trained and technical. The first thing I do is reach out to technical support because I know they are going to figure it out. It really feels like balena is a collaborative partner in making our experience successful”

“We went down the road of trying to manipulate Linux ourselves, and we came to the conclusion that balenaCloud was the right platform for us”

Reza Hajebi
VP of Engineering, Skycatch
Customer of 8 years

“We can scale much better and handle multiple devices instead of treating them individually - we don’t have to update the devices one by one. Moreover, the API is quite powerful and helps us automate quite a bit of our work. There’s no service we’re aware of that’s comparable.”

Flavia Paganelli
Co-founder and Director of Engineering, 30MHz
balena ambassador

“balena is head and shoulders ahead of anyone else when it comes to making software and device management easy”

Alex Lennon
Partner and Founder, Dynamic Devices
Customer of 5 years

“Being able to do software related tasks remotely, and managing and deploying to a large installed base are definitely the killer features of balena. This enables a very fast update cycle and therefore is a booster for the overall development speed of our services.”

Stefan Rauch
Software Engineer, Bosch
User since 2018

“balena gave us all the fleet management and OTA stuff that we knew we would need. For example, we’ve got devices deployed across the world now and we can roll out fixes or software updates or support them anywhere in the world sitting from our office in Bristol.”
