    Cheesecake Labs was highly committed to the project. You can’t always find that level of dedication with an outsourced provider. I’m satisfied with the quality of their work overall. Their team conducted a lot of user tests. We had coverage metrics of more than 80%, which they reached.

    Cheesecake Labs is a great virtual team member. We have regular daily, short ten-minute video chats to plan each day. They also participate in our weekly team sprint meetings. We treat them as members of the team, other than the fact that they’re in Brazil. They have stock options as part of their compensation plan. They are great extended teammates.

    We built our proof of concept mobile app and got it to market to judge its success. After we decided to move forward with it, we reached out to Victor and his team to discuss options. Victor was quick to resource and ramp up development support. His team quickly integrated into our workflow and picked up on the goals and intricacies of this project. Cheesecake always provides a great service. Their developers are knowledgeable and friendly.

    Cheesecake Labs proved to be a resourceful development partner. They successfully delivered the product and are now working on a second version. The team made informed decisions regarding the platform’s UX and the overall project management approach. I learned of Cheesecake Labs through a referral from a friend who had worked with them before. We held a Skype meeting and started working together after that.

    A collaborative approach to coding and project management made CKL an ideal partner for companies with an in-house development team. They met all deadlines and delivered the final product ahead of schedule. They were recommended by colleagues in the Chicago startup community. We interviewed a several different agencies, and based on the recommendations we got and the quality of CKLs past work, we felt that they would be the best value for our money.

    Our client wanted to perform an ICO, so we built a website, smart contracts, security reviews, and security use cases. Cheesecake Labs built the website and the designs that the rest of the project was based on. We integrated admin features, user sign-up processes such as multifactor authentication, and a payment processor. Cheesecake Labs helped build the KYC module structure and made the system privately, so we could customize it for future projects.

    We’re very happy working with them because they’re always very organized and formal. They’re very clear on communication issues. We used Slack to communicate and Google Hangouts for meetings. They’ve met every deadline and I can tell that they’re a really organized agency that is clear an open with their communications. The design quality is great. Sometimes, we assume that good talent is only abroad, but they’ve shown us Silicon Valley-level quality.

    It's been an easy experience thus far considering the complexity of our needs. We have weekly meetings to go over deadlines and milestones, and they manage project tasks through TeamGantt. They've been very communicative throughout the engagement. They're also supportive and set realistic deadlines, which they either meet or exceed. They've created a beautiful website. Any time a bug or issue pops up, they're incredibly quick to fix them.

    Cheesecake Labs is doing mobile app development for us. We started with a discovery phase and came up with the scope of work and service agreement. They then developed and launched our mobile app for iOS and Android using Flutter. Their biggest strength is their ability to be flexible; their team meets us where we were at and adapts to the tools we use. In addition, they're excellent at teaching us about certain things and best practices since we're new to app development.

    Cheesecake Labs’ talent is impressive. Their resources are all based in Brazil, and working with Brazilian developers has been a new experience for me. Their work ethic has been unmatched. On top of that, they’re highly educated and serve as experts in the field. Currently, we work on a sprint schedule, and that’s how we monitor success. We develop the sprints and then prioritize backlogged items before scheduling our releases. Against this process, the team always hits our release deadlines.

    Everything good that I’ve mentioned about them has been impressive. As a client, when we reach out to companies, we need to know who’s more responsive and organized — the Cheesecake Labs team has been extremely proactive and organized even from the beginning. In fact, before giving us a quote, they’ve already spent time understanding our product. Overall, their proactiveness and general communication skills set them apart from competitors.

    Their knowledge in working with agribusiness startups and their customer-centric methodology were key to choose Cheesecake. We were very happy with the work they performed. They have kept the pace and guaranteed that we are on the right track. All deadlines were met by the team. When deadlines were compromised, it was because of our delay in getting back to decisions.

    Cheesecake Labs built the software for us from scratch. They created all the backend and connections with Twilio. Their team also developed a frontend where we have tutors and teachers who interact with our students. They developed a communication dashboard where our teachers can interact with the students. They have a senior, skilled team, who developed both the front and backend of our infrastructure as well. Their team is very transparent on billing. It’s a great combination.

    They are a fantastic team of developers that know their craft. Super professional and easy to work with. Really appreciated the flexibility and out of the box thinking that the team provided during the project. We had two developers (iOS, Android) assigned to the project. The team also had a dedicated project manage and a solution architect. The CKL team was easy to reach. We had weekly Google Meet video meetings and had a dedicated Slack channel.

We have an in-house software team of 12 developers. We handle backend development, while Cheesecake Labs does frontend development and design. We communicate via Slack and email. The communication has a good flow and works well. The project manager’s scheduling and organization are really good. He works really well with us.

    Cheesecake Labs developed the software soup to nuts. I provided light product management, product direction, and customer feedback loops, but they engineered the CRM system. Their clear communication is one of their standout qualities. Their team brings the strongest engineering resources to bear. They have good process discipline in a way that isn’t there to only churn out billable hours. Cheesecake’s an excellent option for anyone considering outsourced development.

Even though it was one of Cheesecake Labs’ first projects with an energy company, their team understood our business quickly and applied that to the product.

    In my experience, we can hire two types of developers: ones that intake an issue ticket and process that feature or bug, or others that take the time to understand the product or the user profile and try to become thought partners in the development. I would classify Cheesecake Labs in the latter category. They never fail to find quality talent when we need to add a developer or adjust our development needs. They have proven to be skilled recruiters and managers.

    We are a credit cooperative and we’re focused on providing credit to family farming. We wanted the new design to support a new experience for our customers. We also wanted to develop a hybrid app. Our product and dev teams communicate with their design team through Slack. We approved the screen in each sprint cycle. I was impressed by their empathy and flexibility during development. They accepted and accommodated any changes we needed. They also offered impressive knowledge of UI/UX.

    I worked with Cheesecake Labs previously, and I had a great experience. They're very proactive and solutions-oriented. If they see something that can be improved in our iOS app, they'll let us know (even though they're not working on the iOS app directly). They're always suggesting better ways to implement the architecture rather than just doing what they're told. This is exactly what we're looking for in our partners, and we haven't seen that in many outsourced companies.

    We’ve built a platform that can be accessed by two apps. What I found most impressive about Cheesecake Labs was their communication and willingness to work with us. We are based out of Texas and Cheesecake out of the country, so going in, the time difference was a big concern for us. This has never been an issue. They are always available. Most important, if one of their estimate is off they make it right.

    The folks at Cheesecake are highly organized. They’re inclined to have regular meetings to ensure that we’re keeping a good pace, in sync with project goals. They’re able to provide a framework, including our agenda, specifications, and our roadmap. Twice a week we meet to communicate goals, and see what hurdles are in the way of moving forward. Their communication and the output of the developers has been phenomenal. They were able to solve some complex problems very quickly.
