STX Next

Our company required additional support for our financial analysis platform, so we collaborated with a skilled engineer from STX Next. The engineer assisted us in enhancing our web interface by developing new features and fixing bugs. We communicated daily and provided specific tasks related to React.js, Redux, Python, and Django. One of the projects included adding date filtering functionality to our multidimensional data table views, as well as implementing a feature to manage complex datasets. The engineer also worked on creating a user-friendly interface for transitioning from multidimensional to 2D data.

The management team at STX Next was highly engaged and focused on the success of our project, creating a positive working relationship. The company was easy to work with, responsive to our messages, and constantly checked in with us.

Communication with the remote engineer was challenging due to time zone differences, which led to a shortened engagement. The engineer’s communication skills could be improved.

Our collaboration with STX Next involved working on the MVP of our property management platform. They utilized Django Python for backend development and React for frontend. The system operates on AWS with a PostgreSQL database, and they were responsible for creating contract generation, centralized documentation, value estimation, and payment collection functionalities. The team also integrated the platform with various payment methods and a transaction viewing service for landlords. Ongoing support is provided as we gather metrics for investors.

I’m impressed by how quickly STX Next allocates resources to our project, promptly providing specialists when needed. Their team is dynamic and flexible, accommodating our requests throughout the development process. They have full-time resources dedicated to our project, ensuring continuity and expertise. Their staff is responsive to scope changes, adjusting workflow to meet our needs.

They can be a bit expensive compared to other options. At times, they offer suggestions that may benefit the platform but could potentially hurt our overall business. Occasionally, it feels like they prioritize their company’s interests over ours, which can be a concern.

STX Next’s team of specialists successfully delivered a comprehensive technology solution tailored to our specific needs. Their full stack developers demonstrated exceptional skills in handling complex financial data and integrating sophisticated technology tools. The seamless communication through Google Hangouts and Slack ensured effective project management and timely updates on progress.

While STX Next excelled in delivering end-to-end solutions, their tightly-managed business structure posed challenges in addressing urgent issues quickly. The lack of spare capacity may hinder their ability to respond promptly to unforeseen circumstances. However, their proactive approach in hiring new resources to meet client needs demonstrates a commitment to overcoming challenges.
