**Customer Success**
Companies that rely on Salesforce application performance and reliability are chiming in about the value Provar delivers for their organizations.
Sean Parker, who leads product at Millsapps, Ballinger & Associates, a Salesforce ISV Partner, has been using Provar to test their core product offering on the Salesforce AppExchange, ExAM, since 2018. Before discovering Provar, his team relied solely on manual testing which delayed releases and introduced the risk of defects. Now, Parker notes about Provar, "After switching to Provar, we've seen a 50% reduction in defects and a 45% reduction in time spent testing across the board."
