Summary

Working with Planet Argon was a seamless and efficient experience. Their expertise in technology and problem-solving skills were instrumental in restoring our website and resolving critical issues.

Project Description

I chose this vendor for their expertise in Ruby on Rails technology and their track record of successfully restoring websites. After agreeing on the scope, they quickly activated emergency services and redeployed our application to Amazon Web Services. They also installed an older version of a Linux operating system to ensure compatibility with our outdated Ruby versions.

Pros

Planet Argon was collaborative, fast, calm, and very focused throughout the project. Robby Russell’s speed and pragmatic problem-solving skills were particularly impressive. They successfully resolved major glitches and emergencies, such as the website being inaccessible and transaction processing issues with PayPal.

Cons

No areas for improvement were identified. We are extremely impressed and grateful for their quick and effective actions in resolving our critical situation.
