Altamira Reviews
A competent team I trust and rely on everyday.
What I've found most impressive about GBK is their project management and their estimates. Their project managers are super stars and their estimates are spot on every time. They clearly know what they are doing.
My most recent project with GBK was a Google Chrome Extension and they did an amazing job.
I highly recommend GBK for customer software and mobile app development.
What is it about the company that you appreciate the most?
I most like the fact that I can absolutely rely on GBK to get the job done properly the first time without any micromanaging.
What was it about the company that you didn't like which they should do better?
Everyone and every team can always improve. But from my perspective they are prefect and I've never had any issues.
Six months with GBK solved a problem that had occupied us for ten years
And then we heard about GBK. From the earliest conversations with them last summer, I was impressed by their professionalism. They asked excellent questions and very quickly grasped the complexities of our business and industry. When they quoted us a price and timeframe, the numbers were excellent - they proposed to have a minimum viable product ready in just six months, for a price competitive with buying off-the-shelf business software - but I, jaded as I was by years of sales pitches that never delivered, took those numbers with a grain of salt. When was the last time a software project came in on time and on budget, after all?
Well, it turns out the answer to that question is "January". That's when GBK completed the designated scope of work right in the proposed six month timeframe, and indeed came in slightly under budget. This was possible because their highly competent and communicative project managers and business analysts worked closely with me to work through every contingency. I have a good head for thinking through a workflow and identifying issues before they happen, but GBK's team put me to shame on that front. There were no unanticipated delays precisely because they were so good at anticipating what would delay us. The hardest thing I had to do in the entire process was just to keep up with their tremendous productivity.
I only wish our budget was unlimited, so that we could continue working with them on this project indefinitely. It's been a phenomenal experience. The new software is now being implemented and we expect it to pay for itself within just two or three years through reduced quality issues and improved productivity and morale. The user interface is elegant, attractive, and thoughtfully designed at every level; no clicking through eighteen different forms just to accomplish a single daily task, as with so many of the solutions we've seen. They even managed to implement what I'm fairly sure is an almost entirely unique in-browser PDF editor connecting PDF annotations to database objects - a feature which is, on its own, going to make an entire department noticeably more productive while also eliminating several possible sources of errors. The end result fits our business like a glove, and all for a price that was within the reach of even our small business.
In the end, it was probably good for us to search fruitlessly for a solution so long, since it forced us to think through our business logic more than most companies do. Still, I wish I could go back in time to tell myself about GBKSoft in 2010. The least I can do is make sure others know how much time and frustration they can avoid by working with such a professional, competent team of web development experts.
What is it about the company that you appreciate the most?
Top-notch project management and incisive analysis of business logic keep them on time and on budget. They don't bat an eye at even the most unusual ideas, and treat them as challenges instead of obstacles. And they deliver all of this at a price which is more than competitive.
What was it about the company that you didn't like which they should do better?
There was some turnover on their business analysis team which occasionally meant I had to explain concepts more than once; it's possible that they could improve retention in that department. However, good project management meant that the disruption to the project was minimal.
Excellent

Experienced Professionals Producing Top Quality Product
GBKSoft has made technical issues approachable and understandable whilst presenting new solutions and ideas to enhance the development process and product UX. My product is in social tech and the teams' extensive experience in the field has come in handy when tackling relevant issues. I am very pleased with the time estimation for project delivery and the adherence to meeting all deadlines.
What is it about the company that you appreciate the most?
Communication has been the top strength of the team as they know how to communicate regularly and effectively whilst asking the correct questions and allowing me space to do the same.

Excellence and flexible
Their PM’s are excellent and are always available and really push the project along at a great pace.
One of the reasons that we started using GBKSoft was price but the flexibility they gave us in easily adjusting the numbers of team members gave us greater flexibility in our cash flow allowing us to pivot much more easily then if we had the constraints & cash commitment to an in house team. I would highly recommend GBK whether you are a startup or an established company.
Quality development and fantastic communication
So I proceeded with some caution as we started our website development project. Right from the start, I was impressed with their communication, well written and verbose project documentation as well as the organization skills of the project manager. They use industry tools to collaborate and document progress as well as actively communicate with the client. At no point in the development process did I feel unaware of the progress or the budget/timeline was tracking. They are very good at cost estimation and time estimation, a skill which can be hard to come by in software development.
Our experience with the website development was so positive that we decided to embark on another, much more ambitious (multi-year) development effort with GBK. This project that was a first to market technology for our industry that was loaded with logic calculations and complexity to produce valuations based on a multitude of changing factors. The specifications process alone took 6 months in which time GBK documented every aspect of functionality in great detail prior to writing any code. It was the most comprehensive and well written spec doc I had been delivered in years!
The project took an additional 18 months to complete and GBK provided not only the development, but also the critical thinking and logic suggestions that go into building a complex web app. In many cases, the process felt very collaborative. They also kept the same developers staffed to our project through the build. This ensured that we could implement changes very quickly without waiting for new developers to be on-boarded. Our project manager was highly communicative at all hours and we used tools such as Trello and Slack to stay in constant communication and manage the project tasks.
Over the years, my team has even travelled the GBK office in Kyiv on multiple occasions to visit the development team and have onsite workshops to clarify development needs and requirements. GBK accommodated us on each visit and went above and beyond.
I many ways, this dev project has been a wonderful partnership and not just a "for-hire" project team. I would highly recommend them to anyone for any size project.
Great to work with!
GBK Soft has been a fantastic partner for us.
I have found GBK Soft to be an excellent web development partner for my company. Their technical skills are high, communication is superb, project management is great and work efficiency consistently exceeds expectations. I would not hesitate to use this company for our web development needs.
What is it about the company that you appreciate the most?
Project management and communication have been a key for me. Their project managers strive to understand your business and your project so that they deliver quality solutions.
What was it about the company that you didn't like which they should do better?
All web development firms struggle to keep their best talent as the developers move firms for their own career advancement. GBK is no exception. It would be better for me to have a consistent developer for more than 9 months, for continuity purposes. However, this is not a realistic expectation.

Altamira Executive Interview

As for mobile development, it is Swift for iOS and Java for Android.
● Functionality and its complexity
● Deadline
● Number of team members
● Security requirements
● Release models
Clients without specific technical background don’t always understand factors that influence the overall cost of the project; for instance, for some adding a couple of entry fields to the registration form may feel like a simple thing to do. In truth, it requires additional user flows, epics, testing, or even integration of third-party services. Yes, with no specific technical knowledge, some of our clients cannot be aware of that. Our sales team tries to explain and talk over such nuances in detail and offer the most suitable solution specifically for the client’s business.
