82 Pivotal Testimonials

"We don’t have to do anything with Spring, it just works. So, we can spend time on our own features, rather than on framework issues. 98% of our energy goes into our business logic, rather than figuring out how to make everything work."

"We’re an early stage start up. We knew it would take a substantial portion of our financial resources to develop with Pivotal Labs. It was a big commitment. Everyone across the board feels it was the best decision we made."

"Pivotal Labs was our first choice to develop this highly interactive sync-to-broadcast app."

"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."

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

"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."

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

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