Great team to work with — professional, responsive and reliable

Lerato Naidoo / Co-Founder | Oct 15, 2026

Ember did good work for us, and we would use them again. When we changed our minds on a couple of features halfway through, they handled it without fuss and were clear about the impact on cost and timeline. They shared working builds regularly, so we could test early and give feedback before things were locked in.

Feedback from our customers has been very positive so far. There were some early misunderstandings on requirements that took a few rounds to sort out. Happy to recommend them.

Project summary

We engaged Ember to automate approval workflows using a no-code platform. The project was split into milestones, with a working build shared at the end of each one. The project took roughly 6 months from kickoff to launch.

Good work overall, with a few bumps along the way

Kelly Reed / Co-Founder | Aug 28, 2026

Overall the project was a success, though it was not without some challenges. The developers were knowledgeable and made a few suggestions that ended up saving us time and money. Their project manager kept things organised and was quick to flag anything that might affect the timeline.

It has made a real difference to how our team works day to day. A couple of milestones slipped by a week or so, mostly around testing. Happy to recommend them.

Professional Web Development Team, Smooth Delivery From Start to Finish

Ashley Bennett / Operations Manager | Jul 03, 2026

Honestly, this was one of the smoothest projects we have run with an outside team. They took the time to understand our business before suggesting anything, which we appreciated after previous agencies jumped straight into building. Their project manager kept things organised and was quick to flag anything that might affect the timeline.

We are already seeing better numbers than before the project.

We would definitely work with them again.

Good results, communication improved as the project went on

Ryan Fisher / Founder | May 19, 2026

We got a good result in the end, but the road there had a few bumps. The developers were knowledgeable and made a few suggestions that ended up saving us time and money. They shared working builds regularly, so we could test early and give feedback before things were locked in. Even with the time zone difference, responses usually came the same day and we never felt left in the dark.

Since launch, everything has been stable and our team has adapted to it quickly. There were some early misunderstandings on requirements that took a few rounds to sort out. Overall, a team we trust and plan to keep working with.

Great Experience With Ember on Our IT Managed Services Project

Brandon Nguyen / Chief Digital Officer | Apr 30, 2026

We were very happy with how this project went. They were upfront about what was realistic within our budget, which helped us prioritise the right features. When we changed our minds on a couple of features halfway through, they handled it without fuss and were clear about the impact on cost and timeline. We dealt with the same core team throughout, so we did not have to keep re-explaining things.

The result looks great and performs well, and our internal team found it easy to take over. We are already discussing the next phase with them.

Project summary

Ember was brought in to take over day-to-day IT support for our offices. Their team handled planning, development and QA, with our product owner signing off each milestone. Overall it was a 2-month engagement.

Would happily work with them again

Thabo Botha / Engineering Manager | Mar 01, 2026

Honestly, this was one of the smoothest projects we have run with an outside team. Communication was consistent. We had a weekly call, a shared Slack channel and a project board we could check at any time. They were upfront about what was realistic within our budget, which helped us prioritise the right features. The team asked a lot of questions early on, which felt slow at first but meant there were very few surprises later.

Feedback from our customers has been very positive so far.

We would definitely work with them again.

Skilled AI & Machine Learning Team That Understood Our Business

Mark Hayes / Head of Engineering | Feb 16, 2026

Ember did good work for us, and we would use them again. They shared working builds regularly, so we could test early and give feedback before things were locked in. They took the time to understand our business before suggesting anything, which we appreciated after previous agencies jumped straight into building.

We launched on schedule and have not had any major issues since. Estimates on a few features were optimistic and those took longer than planned.

I would recommend Ember to anyone looking for a dependable AI & Machine Learning partner.
