" Thanks for the fast response! While I have trouble getting some vendors to reply to anything, I got 2 replies within 10 minutes from AccuRev staff. This is not an isolated case either - during the last year, your fast responses to our issues have been beyond our expectations. Using JIRA as the issue tracker between AccuRev and customers makes it extremely easy to create new cases, communicate with tech support, and track their progress. Please forward my appreciation to your management!"

AccuRev Customers Build Better Products:

"We transitioned from two different SCM systems with a non-integrated issue tracking system to using AccuRev across the board for our three product lines. This transition was accomplished with a minimum of problems or fuss, due mostly to the company's excellent product support personnel. Thanks again for a great product and the great support! I look forward to any new features that AccuRev will come out with in the future!"

Kevin Tucker, Build Engineer, Birdstep Technology

"This morning, I received a telephone call from one of your support engineers. She was calling to warn me of a potential problem I would have when upgrading my license key. I didn't initiate the contact - it was a preemptive call. This was totally unexpected and saving me downtime, stress, and aggravation. I was a fan of AccuRev before this morning: I am a huge fan now."
