Testimonials
Stackato’s ability to support any technology platform, its ease of deployment and support for private cloud PaaS environments gives it a clear leadership position in the increasingly crowded PaaS space. Competitors include Red Hat’s OpenShift, CloudBees and Cloud Foundry, though few vendors match its combination of flexibility and ability to deploy private cloud PaaS environments.

We’ve been working with Stackato for several months now, and we’ve been able to focus our development on Appsembler's core competencies and service, while relying on Stackato as the underlying technology to power our site...Our main launch goal is to support all the Python frameworks. The fact that Stackato supports all the Python frameworks already meant that we just had to make our web interface capable of recognizing those types of applications as Stackato already provides those hooks for us…so there is really little we have to do on our side other than make sure we get out of the way and let Stackato do its job!

ActiveState makes an excellent partner for us. Our business has transitioned from hosting to IaaS, and we now offer more PaaS services for our enterprise clients. Stackato is an ideal solution that lets us create reproducible custom environments for our clients’ multitude of applications in our secure, elastic cloud. It enables our staff to focus on providing the service, performance, and up-time that our clients’ high-traffic enterprise sites demand, while leaving the application deployment, upgrading, and monitoring to Stackato. ActiveState’s close partnership with VMware gives us an end-to-end solution with the power of open source backed by leading vendors.

I was impressed with the first preview of Stackato. I had a Mojolicious app running on a private cloud within 5 minutes! It took longer to figure out how to install the competitor's client than to setup a whole Stackato private cloud.
— Sebastien Riedel, creator of Catalyst and Mojolicious Perl web frameworks
Stackato is really cool and we plan on moving our production stack onto a Private PaaS within the next 2 months or so. With Stackato as our cloud platform, our developers and administrators can focus on building applications, not configuring machines or middleware. Stackato will help us get our web applications up and running very quickly.

After trying Stackato Developer Preview, we already like it very much and can't see any show stoppers.

ActiveState has taken a leading role in delivering innovative capabilities for Python and Perl developers on top of VMware’s Cloud Foundry platform. Openness, ease of use, and flexibility are important to enterprises deploying apps in the cloud. ActiveState’s Stackato is a great option for enterprises that, for security and other reasons, want the flexibility to create a private cloud or private PaaS environment.
— Christopher Keene, VP Cloud Computing Ecosystem, VMware
I was pleasantly surprised at having an application up and running on Stackato in 10 minutes. The process was simple and the deployment process was straightforward. Stackato took all the pain, guesswork and complications out around network security, port assignment and port openings. Stackato's best feature is its ability to bundle and deploy everything seamlessly.
