Our solution modernizes device monitoring, debugging, and deployment of updates, improving time-to-market and overall fleet health - all without impacting the end user. Why Memfault: Hardware developers have traditionally relied on passive processes to monitor, debug, and update connected devices. End users often find bugs like Bluetooth connectivity issues, battery life regressions, and unexpected resets before developers are aware of them. Investigating these bugs is time-consuming and costly: teams either have to reproduce issues on their own units or ask customers to mail their devices in for evaluation. It would take months and significant engineering resources to implement the tooling necessary to get equivalent functionality to what Memfault offers. By using Memfault internally, our customers are able to work more efficiently cross-functionally. - QA Engineers - Many of our customers are able to catch and fix issues before their device even ships. QA teams do not need to manually collect logs or device data, as Memfault automatically captures all relevant device states and sends it to the development team. - Firmware / Hardware Engineers - With Memfault, engineers are no longer dependent on support teams to escalate issues to them. Instead, they get automated reports within minutes of an issue happening anywhere in the world with all the information they need to root cause it. No need to reproduce the issue or wait for customers to mail their faulty devices back. - Support - With Memfault, device performance information is a few clicks away. Rather than ask customers what they are experiencing, support teams can simply query the device and zero in on the problem. > > Verdict: Rated **4.9/5** by 10 users.

On other occasions, faults could take hours or days to be fixed with Memfault. It is not like that, it is a matter of hours, very few if the fault is large. Otherwise, its solution process is very fast. > > **Cons**: It is reliable, safe and useful. I have not had any problems of any kind since its installation. > > It monitors each device safely and provides the confidence that it is protected against any fault that it may have. The solution will be automatic and prevents it from affecting the work of others. ----- ### "A must have product for any connected device" — 5.0/5 > **Atul** | *17 August 2022* | Consumer Electronics | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Ability to record a software issue (e.g. especially program crash and watchdog reboot) on device and make necessary information available on cloud. > > **Cons**: Inability to provide full information to developers for C++ project. Cloud interface could be more user friendly > > Memfault support is excellent and I liked it the way they made themselves available for us during whole integration. ----- ### "saves time and money" — 4.0/5 > **Roger** | *10 September 2024* | Consumer Electronics | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: The functionality that Memfault provides makes it possible to quickly find faults that take hours of work to manually decipher. All critical problems that occur in the system are quickly and intelligently analyzed by Memfault, and each detail is developed and a solution scheme is developed, saving a lot of time > > **Cons**: During the time I have been using Memfault, I have not disliked anything about the customer service or the service function, everything has been correct > > It saves time working to find out the fault in the system and to be able to have a monitored system so that the faults are not serious and when they occur, they are quickly fixed. ----- ### "The future of embedded debugging" — 5.0/5 > **David** | *10 August 2022* | Consumer Electronics | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Can see FW deployments at a glance Can create sub-groups to deploy specific FWs to for internal testing (And can change on the fly) Better stacktrace visualization than my IDE Real-time visibility into new problems and regressions Has helped me track down stack overflow issues, heap fragmentation issues, issues with the manufacturer's BLE stack and all the kinds of critical hard-to-track problems that would have taken 10x longer without it. There is nothing else like it. It eases debugging of any problem more than any other tool I have ever used. > > **Cons**: (Note: these are all minor and I have already notified the Memfault team about them.) I can't easily get access to the raw per-device metric data via a documented API. I can't easily see the FW version that the metric data was produced on via the web interface. There is a bit of confusing about which visualization tool to use for the metric data and it seems to have some bugs. It is hard to manage the metrics generally. There is a limit on them it is hard to deprecate ones you create that you realize you don't need. Etc. Some confusing things about being able to deploy debug/release builds and managing variants of build types. (Perhaps more education on our part could have fixed this?) > > Companies at this scale are really a group people and a culture and not a nebulous entity. This team has been fantastic in communication, issue resolution, and proactive attempts to identify problems. They have lived with the problems of not having this tool so they understand what needs to exist to have a good end-user experience. ----- ### "Excellent IoT monitoring with minimal implementation effort" — 5.0/5 > **Konstantin** | *30 December 2022* | Consumer Electronics | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Memfault was very easy to set up with our nRF52 MCU. Their SDK is excellent and plugs right in. It allows us to track device metrics and various errors. Without Memfault we would either have no visibility into what's happening on devices or have to build an in-house solution. One thing I really like about Memfault is the ability to get coredump details (including file and line numbers).Memfaults OTA functionality is great as well. They handle all the business logic of whether the device needs to be updated and serves new firmware when necessary. > > **Cons**: The fine grained access control is lacking. Every user has access to nearly all of memfault. This can be problematic for production deployments when you want only a select group of people access to something (eg: roll out OTA updates). > > Memfault gives us visibility into how our devices/firmware is performing in the field. Their support is top-notch. ----- Page: 1 / 2\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/255627/memfault?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/255627/memfault) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
