The BitRock installer has cut our build/test capital needs by 75%. The overhead in build/packaging for a dozen platforms is trivial. I now type in a command and I get installers that work on all the platforms I need to support. BitRock's installer was a lifesaver, dramatically cutting down our build/release times."

We were looking for easy to use installation software to support our products on Linux. We tried a couple well known commercial alternatives, but BitRock was easier and more cost effective than it's competitors and it was a heck of a lot easier than creating an RPM distribution from scratch."
