We use it to connect not only the networked world at home, in businesses and in the smart grid, but above all — people. Our goal is to make the complex world of data communication more simple. With this claim, we are developing future-oriented products and solutions together.

How did you hear about Cucumber?

I alway watch the OpenWRT summit videos, and during the Lightning Talks Simon talked about Cucumber and what it can do. I was really impressed with what they’d built and the approach they had to the management system.

What do you use Cucumber for?

With our hardware expertise, we partnered with Cucumber to use their platform in order to provide our customers with a solution and hence managed services.

And why were you looking for a solution like Cucumber?

We wanted to provide our users with a software that provides them with a range of solutions and services. However we knew investing time into building the software for our devices would take a long time. So we were looking for a software solution that would include all necessary functionalities, and would be eager to improve the platform according to new requirements, and of course allow us to accelerate our product launch.

What made you choose Cucumber?

We like the fresh vibe that Cucumber brings to the table. The fact they take feedback, have an open discussion and act on things in a really fast manner, makes this collaboration a truly productive partnership. Also we a very fond of the reporting and monitoring functionalities.

Any features you’d like to see added?

Keep the innovation and development going. We’re really excited about what’s to come.

Thanks Thomas, it has been an exciting challenge working with the devolo team. We look forward to the exciting ventures to come!
