    Simform is great with project management, communications and execution. They've been exemplary with customer service in all areas. We had an original version of our app that was created and hosted by another partner that abruptly went out of business. We were left with no support and a pending loss of hosted services. Simform jumped in and moved our code base to their hosted environment and even made substantial improvements to our existing code with no downtime for our customers!

    • There have been times when we thought our projects were to heavily staffed. We informed Simform of this and the issue was corrected immediately.
    • One project we thought the Simform team member skill set did not match up with the requirements for the project. We alerted Simform of this and they quickly fixed the situation.

    Not that Garage did not finish the job, but the cost is too high

    We evaluated four different agencies and interviewed over 12 engineers as part of our selection process. Alongside Simform, we partnered with another firm that charged nearly double the rate. However, we found no significant difference in the quality or skillsets delivered. Simform stood out for their technical capability, responsiveness, and cost-effectiveness, making them the clear choice.
