"The Pivots demonstrated their commitment to the product’s success by repeatedly going the extra mile to provide feedback and recommendations, asking excellent questions during iteration planning meetings, creating flowcharts and other detailed documentation to break down complex logic, and so on. We were fully confident that the product was in capable hands."
"Even with our massive data volumes, Pivotal is delivering the short processing times we were hoping for. Just as importantly, Pivotal Greenplum Database presents the results of our analysis in dashboard views that are easy for our non-technical users to access. That means faster answers to business questions — and better, timelier decisions."
"In a traditional Java project, we can spend weeks writing the initial code to set up the infrastructure, which is just the ‘plumbing’ code. In Groovy and Grails, we can do that in a couple of hours with plugins."
"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."
"I can’t imagine how we would have succeeded with anybody but Pivotal. Building something this complicated in less than two years is amazing, and we did it at a fraction of cost of a legacy system provider."
"Pivotal Labs has a long history of supporting technology projects that have had a significant impact on the civic technology landscape. I was thrilled when they stepped up to take on this groundbreaking project."
"Powerball was a key component in our transformative change last year, during which time we realized 15-percent growth."
"I bought the Pivotal way hook line and sinker after about a month, from test-driven development to agile software construction to Pivotal Tracker. It changed my view of the way to build software—definitely a change for the better."
"Availability is higher and speed of the applications is faster since we deployed Pivotal tc Server. Everything runs better because we can solve problems before they impact application performance and availability."
"Pivotal delivers pure performance at scale for all the areas that matter most to our business. That includes data ingestion, complex queries, analytics, and data output."
"We strive to offer our customers power, ease, and value. Pivotal fits the bill perfectly."
"The system is operating with solid performance and uptime. Now, we have a reliable, economically sound production system that supports record volumes and has room to grow."
"On the front end of a project, Spring saves us a couple weeks of time that we are not working on the infrastructure."
"Pivotal doesn’t just interact with the website, they understand the business value of the functions and enhancements we’re asking for, so they can help us develop better or more efficient ways to do things."
