I'm thinking about using Mongoose for a future project (as opposed to Arduino IDE or the ESP SDK directly) I think the advantages are:

Security: TLS 1.2, x509 certificates, ability to stop random people from flashing your board)

Remote management: OTA process doesn't seem that different from other methods, but they have some other nice things. For example they make it really easy to separate your code from your configuration.

I haven't read over their encryption code, but even if it's not enough to stop a determined hacker it's still better than nothing.
