Atomic updates with built-in rollback is a key requirement. We need to make sure our devices continue to work with automated rollback if the update didn't take for any reason. Mender provided that crucial capability.
Joel Hermanns, CIO of gridX
Why choose Mender?
Better than homegrown
Focus on your core development rather than building your own costly updater or cobbling together an assortment of tools. Focus on your product. Leave OTA updates to us.
User friendly
Mender comes with extensive documentation, an intuitive UI, and a test environment where you can deploy your first update within 1 hour.
High quality
Mender has more than 70% test coverage and a growing open source community that is continuously testing, reviewing and improving the product.
Avoid bricked devices
Automated rollback support so your devices will always come back online, even in cases of power loss or data corruption while the update is being deployed.
Security
Built from the ground up with security in mind, Mender enforces secure HTTPS connections and has zero open ports on the embedded device.
No vendor lock-in
Mender is the only end-to-end OTA tool with both the server and client open source (Apache 2.0), giving you flexibility and freedom.
