Stratus5

Stratus5 offer open source and commercial ISVs and resellers a full-service solution to quickly launch their SaaS business in the cloud. Put simply, it is about building software for you when nothing off the shelf fits.

The natural audience is companies with a specific process to automate. Alongside the main category they mention Cloud Management. As a very small company team themselves (1 to 10 people), they tend to serve customers of a similar scale best. You will probably talk to the people who build it, which is great until you need 24/7 support.

Stratus5 is based in Lucerne Valley, California and founded in 2007. You can read more at stratus5.com.

Our checklist for this category: portfolio relevance, who owns the code, and how they handle changes. A short pilot with your real data tells you more than any demo.

If you have worked with Stratus5, tell the next buyer what you paid and what surprised you. That is the part of this page we cannot write.
