“Everybody that works at Protenus is deeply passionate about privacy. Even though my Protenus customer success team isn't on-site with us, the team members have integrated into our workflow so well that we can't help but think of them as part of our team. Protenus takes the time to follow up with clients to ensure their satisfaction. My organization puts the whole team through the wringer with our ideas and questions. Every time that we bring up a suggestion or demand something, the Protenus team accepts it so graciously. I can't say enough nice things about Protenus.” - Manager, November 2019
