Would happily work with them again

Stephanie Johnson / Co-Founder & CTO | Oct 17, 2026

Our experience with The Digital Department Cork was really positive from start to finish. Their project manager kept things organised and was quick to flag anything that might affect the timeline. The developers were knowledgeable and made a few suggestions that ended up saving us time and money.

The Game Development work has already made a noticeable difference — tasks that used to take hours now take minutes. I would recommend The Digital Department Cork to anyone looking for a dependable Game Development partner.

Project summary

It was delivered on time, and the final invoice matched the original estimate.

Yes, I would recommend them and we plan to work with them again.

Quality work, a little slower than we planned

Wei Jie Ng / CEO | Sep 21, 2026

Overall the project was a success, though it was not without some challenges. They shared working builds regularly, so we could test early and give feedback before things were locked in. Their project manager kept things organised and was quick to flag anything that might affect the timeline. Even with the time zone difference, responses usually came the same day and we never felt left in the dark.

The Mobile App Development work has already made a noticeable difference — tasks that used to take hours now take minutes. Their team changed one developer midway, which slowed things down for a couple of weeks. We would definitely work with them again.

Project summary

The Digital Department Cork was brought in to rebuild our existing mobile app, which had poor reviews and frequent crashes. The project was split into milestones, with a working build shared at the end of each one. Overall it was a 3-month engagement.

Good value and a team that genuinely cares about the result

Daniel Khan / Engineering Manager | Sep 20, 2026

The Digital Department Cork did good work for us, and we would use them again. 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.

Feedback from our customers has been very positive so far. A couple of milestones slipped by a week or so, mostly around testing. I would recommend The Digital Department Cork to anyone looking for a dependable Game Development partner.

Project summary

Our company worked with The Digital Department Cork to build the multiplayer features for our existing game. Scope included discovery workshops, development in two-week sprints and a short support period after launch. The engagement ran for about 3 months.

Solid delivery, though timelines needed some pushing

Tyler Graham / Director of IT | Sep 11, 2026

The final product works well for us, although the process could have been smoother. The developers were knowledgeable and made a few suggestions that ended up saving us time and money. 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.

Since launch, everything has been stable and our team has adapted to it quickly. Their team changed one developer midway, which slowed things down for a couple of weeks. If you need a team that communicates well and delivers, they are a good choice.

Capable Game Development team — happy with the end result

Nathan Murphy / CEO | Jul 19, 2026

We got a good result in the end, but the road there had a few bumps. 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 were upfront about what was realistic within our budget, which helped us prioritise the right features.

Feedback from our customers has been very positive so far. We had to follow up a few times on smaller bug fixes after launch. If you need a team that communicates well and delivers, they are a good choice.

Easy to work with and very transparent on timelines and cost

Amanda Carter / Operations Manager | Jul 12, 2026

The Digital Department Cork did an excellent job for us. They took the time to understand our business before suggesting anything, which we appreciated after previous agencies jumped straight into building. They shared working builds regularly, so we could test early and give feedback before things were locked in. They were upfront about what was realistic within our budget, which helped us prioritise the right features.

Feedback from our customers has been very positive so far. We would definitely work with them again.

Project summary

We engaged The Digital Department Cork to take over day-to-day IT support for our offices. They worked alongside our in-house team, which mostly handled business requirements and testing. We worked together for around 3 months.

Good results, communication improved as the project went on

Neha Agarwal / Director | Jun 16, 2026

We got a good result in the end, but the road there had a few bumps. They shared working builds regularly, so we could test early and give feedback before things were locked in. 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 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. There were some early misunderstandings on requirements that took a few rounds to sort out.

We would definitely work with them again.

They listened, asked the right questions, and delivered

Julia Koch / Marketing Director | Jun 12, 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 IT Managed Services work has already made a noticeable difference — tasks that used to take hours now take minutes. We are already discussing the next phase with them.

Good work overall, with a few bumps along the way

Ruben Smit / Chief Digital Officer | Jun 06, 2026

Overall the project was a success, though it was not without some challenges. Their project manager kept things organised and was quick to flag anything that might affect the timeline. They shared working builds regularly, so we could test early and give feedback before things were locked in.

We are already seeing better numbers than before the project. Their team changed one developer midway, which slowed things down for a couple of weeks.

Exceeded our expectations on quality and communication

Nora Al Harbi / Head of Digital Transformation | Feb 21, 2026

We were very happy with how this project went. 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. Even with the time zone difference, responses usually came the same day and we never felt left in the dark. The team asked a lot of questions early on, which felt slow at first but meant there were very few surprises later.

Since launch, everything has been stable and our team has adapted to it quickly.

Happy to recommend them.
