Neti's project management approach was nothing short of exemplary. From the onset, they demonstrated an unwavering commitment to delivering all project items on time, often exceeding our expectations by completing tasks ahead of schedule. Their punctuality was not just limited to task completion; they were also incredibly responsive to our needs and queries, often providing solutions within hours of a request.

What set Neti apart was their willingness to go above and beyond the scope of the project. They didn't just meet our requirements; they proactively sought ways to add value to the project. Whether it was suggesting optimizations based on their best practices or identifying potential areas for future development, their insights were invaluable.

Their responsiveness to our needs was immediate and insightful, making us feel as though we were their top priority. They were not just problem-solvers but also visionaries, anticipating needs we hadn't even considered and planning for them in advance.

In summary, Neti's project management increased our efficiency, brought in a much-needed streak of innovation, and maintained a completely client-centric focus.

What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?

What stood out as most impressive and unique about Neti was the exceptional skill of their developers, who have literally saved our project and allowed us to make everything perfect as required. This extraordinary skill, focus and commitment of all their developers was coupled with their holistic approach to project management, which transcended the conventional boundaries of task completion and client satisfaction.

Not only did they deliver on every technical aspect with impeccable timing, but they also demonstrated an extraordinary ability to anticipate future needs and opportunities for the project. This proactive vision allowed us to stay ahead of the curve, positioning us for success not just in the immediate term but also for the long haul.

Their team didn't just see a list of tasks to complete; they saw an evolving, dynamic project with a multitude of possibilities. This perspective led them to offer strategic recommendations that were both innovative and practical, adding layers of value that we hadn't even considered. It felt as though they were as invested in the project's success as we were, which is a rare and invaluable quality in a project management team.

In essence, Neti redefined our expectations for what exceptional project management can and should be. Their blend of technical proficiency, timely delivery, and forward-thinking strategies has made them an indispensable partner, and we couldn't be happier with the results.

I can't think of any. Neti deserves the highest score possible. Truly, there is nothing they could have done differently, we are extremely satisfied. It is not often that I say: there is nothing to improve, this cooperation was perfect, above and beyond all expectations.

2-5 Employees

Describe the scope of work in detail. Please include a summary of key deliverables.

Initially, the scope of work was about implementing the vesting mechanism of our tokens for the stakeholders and creating deployment scripts. Later on, it was changed and extended by additional tasks related to fixing work (smart contracts) started by someone else, adding MultiSig signature for token distribution, verifying deployment scripts in the test environment, and assistance with deployment to the production environment.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What were the measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

• Implementation and vertification of the MultiSig on test net
• Test coverage on level +95%
• Preparing/developing deployment script, which can be verified on test net

Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?

As the Neti team joined us to help us on the later stage there was no need to introduce full project management. Instead of this we defined the expectations/deliverables which we expected will be fullfiled by Neti team. Dev team dispached them one by one. We hade short but regular meetings to sync "what's the progress" and after implementing the tasks - small demo or meeting where it was explained/demonstrated.

Devs from Neti used trello to track the progress internally, so we were able also to check the current state without having a call. For quick questions we used Telegram (as a chat). They worked in the agreed timeframe and quickly adapted to new requirements.

What was your primary form of communication with Neti sp. z o.o.?

• Virtual Meeting
• Email or Messaging App

What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?

• dedication
• involvement
• analytical mindset of the development team
• openness to communication

We constantly had the impression that management and devs from Neti want to understand the goal and propose a solution that will meet our requirements today but also in the future. Most of similar companies care only about dragging tasks from "todo" to "done" column; Neti was different.

Are there any areas for improvement or something Neti sp. z o.o. could have done differently?

Not really. It was a small project with very short deadline, so I don't think we or Neti could do better. Both sides adapted to the reality and did their best to deliver "on time".

Urgent requests were dealt with promptly and tight deadlines were met reasonably.

What did you find most impressive about them?

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the founder and CEO of Cypherdog Security, Inc., a computer and network security company.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Neti?

I needed specialists in the blockchain space.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Neti developed a smart contracts platform on Solidity from scratch based on the ERC-20 protocol. The software has several advanced functionalities, like pools and antivirus protection. I provided them with my sketches and explained what I needed, and they built a fully working software based on that.

This is just the beginning for us, and we’re starting a new blockchain project next month.

What is the team composition?

I’ve worked with three people from Neti, including a project manager that puts everything together.

How did you come to work with Neti?

I did online research and found a few companies from Europe. I’m from Poland, and iI wanted to keep the project in my environment, so that’s why I chose Neti.

How much have you invested with them?

We've spent around $20,000 with them so far.

What is the status of this engagement?

My first contact with them was in October 2021, and the engagement is ongoing.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?

They deliver as promised, and everything is great — they’ve exceeded my expectations so far.

How did Neti perform from a project management standpoint?

I don’t particularly appreciate working with software houses because they demand written requirements. Still, Neti has a different approach to everyone else I’ve worked with in terms of communication, which I like. Regarding tools, we use phone calls and email.

Overall, they’ve delivered everything on time, and they’re there when I call them. They’re also able to explain things to me in a way I can understand — their client collaboration is extraordinary!

What did you find most impressive about them?

They’re good at identifying solutions; I came to them with some bullet points of what I needed, and they explained to me how we should write everything down and how they could improve on the solution. I never got this experience with another software house in Poland.

Neti proposes the best and cheapest solutions on the market; they’re not greedy. Most Polish software houses are expensive, so I'm amazed in this case because, with them, it's more about the working relationship than the money.
