SMF has far exceeded all my expectations. From the very beginning, I was very well looked after by the responsible consultant. All matters were implemented quickly and professionally. I can highly recommend the company SFM.

It took a long time to establish the company... Apart from that everything was fine.

Très bon service, ressource affectée disponible mais ça été juste un peu plus long que prévu. Sinon dans l'ensemble le service est impeccable

Long process time, not stable agents and many account manager changed during 6 month.

The service we received was average, nothing outstanding... it's just a normal service expected from such a provider.
