Device Agents Compared
We recommend choosing the Ioto cloud agent for all new devices, even if they are not connected to the cloud as Ioto has the smallest, most efficient and secure embedded web server.
Ioto is ideal for both the smallest embedded systems with minimal memory and for those that require the utmost in performance and security. It offers the highest performance embedded web server, plus MQTT messages and comprehensive AWS IoT integration.
We recommend using GoAhead or Ioto for existing devices that have already commited to those products.
