"Easy to use, easy to deploy, even more easy to update, and safe."

What do you like best about Particle? The best, for me, is the lack of "need to be there". I can update, upgrade, inspect, and interact with, no matter how far from me it is. No cables, no plug-in and -out.

"Positive Particle Review"

What do you like best about Particle? The product works very well as advertised. The support has been excellent. The fact that we do not have to deal with cellular service providers is the main reason for choosing Particle.

"Particle devices are great for online or distance learning and over-the-air programming!"

What do you like best about Particle? I can teach the basic concepts of microcontrollers with actual demonstration and actual over-the-air programming in an online or distance learning set-up. The programs or sketches are very similar to Arduino. You can upload sketches anywhere, anytime using the WebIDE.
