82 Pivotal Testimonials

"For the engineering tools we develop, Grails brings a lot of value to the table by keeping a code base manageable and relatively small."

"Pivotal moves lightning-fast. We ran out of backlog after just eight days."

"Groovy and Grails cut as much as two-thirds off application in three weeks...The estimate to complete the project on the old platform was at least three months."

"As a complete tool to access and analyze Big Data, Pivotal is a powerful solution that delivers outstanding performance."

"Breaking down data sets takes as much as 50 percent more time and effort, and because it takes so much time and manpower to get an effective process working and then maintain it, it really erodes our productivity. Pivotal Greenplum Database removes the necessity for this work, we don’t have to run such a complex set of processes, which means the system is much easier to maintain."

"Groovy enabled us to quickly write scripts. I wrote the data retrieval script in a day, even with everything else I had to do. It would have added days to write the same simple script in Java."

"Your team will be stronger when you leave Pivotal. Not just your engineering team, but your product managers, your designers, and your engineering leadership. Your entire technology musculature will be much stronger. Pivotal sets you up for long-term success. It’s a velocity gain over time, not a short-term fix."

"Pivotal Labs was very effective at teaching our team Ruby development and agile methodologies. They didn't just show us how, they taught our team best practices and really helped us understand the why of working this way."

"Pivotal helped build the framework for Linea as it exists today. Having both teams on the job and moving through test-driven development together really helped us get the software to a very stable place."

"Spring has made development much simpler, and it has eliminated the maintenance and development hassle we had before with EJBs ... By using Spring, we have reduced our development time by at least 30%."

"Every two weeks we are producing new software. We can’t afford to spend time on infrastructure maintenance. We need to be able to rapidly add features and applications and we rely on Spring to do that. Spring makes us more competitive by giving us this ability."

"The throughput on Pivotal tc Server is at least 3x greater than WebLogic and the CPU and load on the production servers is about half."

"We are enthusiastic about Pivotal Greenplum Database as it can transform the way companies think about handling Big Data."

"Groovy is so much quicker and simpler to write code, so we can get applications up and running faster. With Groovy and Grails we can create a new feature in a week, when before it could easily take a month or more."

"The performance we have seen from Grails has been extremely encouraging, especially against other rapid development frameworks ... In my experience, Grails runs much faster."
