"Our experience with Bryd was very pleasant from start to finish. As Slack is our main form of communication in our 24/7 business, we were keen to ensure that any migration did not result in huge downtime. Bryd worked alongside Slack and were able to complete the migration with no major issues, minimising the downtime as much as possible. Bryd were actively available and ready to help users experiencing issues the day after as well, and provided a lot of support and guidance, which was key to us maintaining our internal staff satisfaction. Working with Bryd saved us a lot of time which would have been spent reading technical manuals and trying to figure out how to perform a migration, allowing us to focus on other areas of the project. Thanks for all your help."
