the review
A Clutch analyst personally interviewed this client over the phone. Below is an edited transcript.
Introduce your business and what you do there.
We are a banking technology company. I'm the CEO.
What challenge were you trying to address with Keeper Solutions?
We wanted a remote development team that could save us money while offering a similar or higher quality than their competitors.
What was the scope of their involvement?
They work on both backend and frontend technology. Our frontend engineer works on a native Android app, but she also has training in the full stack, both front- and backend. Our other engineer works specifically in the backend.
What is the team composition?
We work with the two engineers and a staff manager.
How did you come to work with Keeper Solutions?
A friend recommended them, so we reached out. They onboarded our first engineer within a week of our first phone call, and they added our second engineer about a month later.
What is the status of this engagement?
We started working together in November or December 2018. We've worked together constantly since then, and the collaboration is ongoing.
What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?
The impact is huge. We have important new features every month, and they always deliver. They complete all their requirements, and we've hit all our targets. Our volume is ten times greater, and everything works very well.
How did Keeper Solutions perform from a project management standpoint?
I'm in New York, so I'm not online for about 60% of their day. They're very effective, self-sufficient, and proactive, and they're open to any tasks we give them. We use Confluence for documentation, Clubhouse for tickets and assigning work, GitHub for code review and code management, CircleCI for deployment and testing, and Slack for communication and integrations. It's a comprehensive suite of tools, and they work well in all of them.
What did you find most impressive about them?
They're very flexible. The engineer we started with had to move to a different project, and they replaced him within a week, with zero downtime. They make sure we have the resources we need, and they're very easygoing and friendly. Our business relationship is strong, and I've referred them many times. They charge about a third of the cost of New York companies with the same skillset.
Are there any areas they could improve?
They're starting to expand their global footprint, and it would be interesting to see them grow their presence in South America and other areas that are closer to U.S. time zones.
Do you have any advice for potential customers?
Treat your contractors like employees. I want to make sure they are a part of our company, and it helps to challenge them with new tasks.
New features roll out each month, and user volume has increased tenfold. Keeper Solutions is flexible and friendly, and the business relationship is strong. They work well within an array of project management tools, and their costs are considerably lower than their competition.
