Particle ties you to proprietary hardware and a closed ecosystem. Encryptix is hardware-agnostic fleet management for any Linux device -- bring your own hardware from any manufacturer and get full SSH access, deep monitoring, flexible deployments, and advanced alerting without vendor lock-in.
A comprehensive IoT fleet management platform built for any Linux device. Monitor real-time metrics, SSH into any device from your browser, deploy commands or containers, set up advanced alerting, scan for vulnerabilities, and manage configurations -- all hardware-agnostic with no vendor lock-in.
A hardware-plus-cloud IoT platform that sells its own devices (Photon, Argon, Boron, Tracker) with built-in cellular connectivity. Particle provides a vertically integrated experience -- but only for Particle hardware. The cloud platform manages Particle devices exclusively with OTA firmware updates and basic telemetry.
