WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS SAY ABOUT ABLY

 * Developer
 * Self Service
 * Enterprise

 * Ably was a game-changer for us. It is so easy to implement and use. There is
   no need to spend time managing it, which absolutely fits with our managed
   services roadmap. So, it saved us some serious development time and money and
   the performance is just astonishing. I never have to log into the dashboard
   to deal with issues any more and our customers absolutely love the realtime
   aspect. I have only praise for Ably. It’s awesome.
   
   Andrew Hanisch
   
   System Architect / Experity
 * We run thousands of services with 100s of daily deploys by autonomous teams.
   Ably’s infrastructure layer supports this agile SoA environment. And the team
   provide responsive, collaborative support that help us meet our technical,
   business, and product development requirements.
   
   Max Freiert
   
   Product Group Lead / HubSpot
 * Ably’s support during the initial, high-risk stages is really what let us
   bring this product to market as quickly as we did. Working with Ably felt as
   if we were part of the same company, navigating unknowns and collaborating on
   product improvements together. Ably’s technology and customer service allowed
   us to rest assured that having hundreds of thousands of users for a brand new
   product - right at the initial stages - did not constitute a business risk.
   
   Mehmet Burak Arığ
   
   Product Manager / Onedio
 * In a high-stakes, highly competitive industry, VITAC sought a provider that
   could operate realtime infrastructure for transporting live data to end-users
   via a complex, multi-hop process. In media accessibility environments - where
   there’s zero margin for error - Ably’s infrastructure performs and exceeds
   expectations.
   
   Joe Antonio
   
   Chief Information Officer / VITAC
 * I haven’t even had to think of Ably since we got set up. That’s exactly what
   I want from my realtime service: to just know it will work.
   
   Matthew Hall
   
   Chief Technical Officer / SpringboardVR
 * You miss so much by not using a platform like Ably. When you need to
   implement a new feature, the capabilities are there, ready to go. Or when you
   need to scale, the capacity is seamlessly available. There’s no need to even
   think about these things. Building on Ably was the only logical choice
   because we managed to bypass a hefty DevOps debt and rapidly ship our new
   streaming capabilities while keeping our architecture as simple and reliable
   as possible.
   
   Pato Echagüe
   
   Chief Technical Officer / Split
 * We set out to solve a difficult problem, one that the big global logistics
   companies have spent millions overcoming. Ably has played an important role,
   not just in allowing us to do that, but in allowing us to make the solution
   customer-centric. Realtime will always be crucial to that, and Ably delivers
   in every way – integrity, immediacy, reliability and support – so we can
   focus our effort on constantly innovating our core platform to better meet
   the needs of last mile delivery.

   available by Ably, Metra is able to deliver real-time data to customers
   quickly, dependably, and cost effectively, which prove beneficial for both

 * We could talk for hours about the technical excellence of the product or the
   great value that Ably brings for our business. But it is the level of care
   that the Ably team demonstrates every single day for their customers that
   makes their solution a no-brainer for us.
