Software Development Review from Anonymous
We had created a conceptual framework to authenticate and verify the provenance, transaction history, and authorship of blockchain-based NFTs. Talentica was brought on board to test and refine the concept from both functional and engineering perspectives, and later to build a Minimum Viable Product (MVP) aligned with the agreed specifications and constraints.
Software Development Review from Anonymous
For several years, the team was composed entirely of Talentica contractors. Since January 2022, I have been directly managing them. The Talentica team handled the admin tooling backend, which included multiple Python Flask services with Postgres and Elasticsearch. These services operated in a service-oriented architecture deployed on Kubernetes, using Istio for service mesh and Spinnaker for deployments.

Digital Advertising Review from Marc Casper
For the digital marketing portion of the project, Scan tracked growth and engagement on our social media platforms. It was clear that their work directly drove growth in our online presence. On the web development side, our investors and internal executive stakeholders were impressed with their work. Its too early to truly gauge the value of the site, but in the immediate term, those who didn't like the old site have really liked the new one.They were great with structuring regular Zoom calls to keep everything on track. Outside of these calls, we communicated via email and Basecamp.

In our email marketing campaigns, we've seen a 25% return on investment. Our PPC ROI is 250%. They've found a way to attract an audience to our site despite safety training not being an objectively exciting subject.Their project management skills are fantastic. They report progress to us multiple times a day, which keeps me happy. Scandiweb is always in touch with us to make sure we know how everything is going.

I read reviews of almost 100 companies and spoke with reps from 5 before finally going with Appingine for my first app. I'm sure you can pay more for less quality from a different company but why would you? They were easy to work with and quick to respond to questions. They split the charges by stage of development like every professional company should.I needed to make several changes during development and the cost was reasonable. Anthony was awesome and helped me along every step of the way. Apple has more stringent requirements than Google and Appingine was able to get the app published on both stores. Looking forward to more projects with them. Once again, don't pay more for less, go with Appingine!

In terms of effort he went far, far beyond what would be expected, and helped us out for the next 12 months all the way to launch and production.We have continued to work with Chris, and we are looking forward to launching our new model with him in the next month.

Over the past five years, we have steadily expanded our relationship with Bacancy Technology, increasing the number of engineers we engage through their team. As our partnership has grown, so has the value they deliver.What has impressed me most is how effectively their engineers have self-organized, shared knowledge, and cross-trained one another. Rather than operating as individual contributors, they function as a cohesive team, collaborating on complex challenges and supporting each other's success.Over time, we have entrusted them with increasingly critical and technically demanding work. They have consistently delivered high-quality results with minimal oversight from our onshore engineering team. Their professionalism, technical expertise, and ability to take ownership have made them a valuable extension of our organization.I would highly recommend Bacancy Technology to any company looking for skilled, reliable engineering talent and a true long-term technology partner.

Eugen Krenz's Review Sourced from Google
Absolute Non-Delivery and Ignorance of Client Needs - Legal Steps Being TakenI rarely write reviews, but my experience with Sumeru Inc. so abysmal that I feel compelled to warn others. I contracted this company for a high-value project, expecting professional and timely delivery as per their promises. What I received was nothing short of a disaster.Non-Delivery: Despite repeated assurances and deadlines, not only was the project delayed, but what was eventually sent was incomplete and of such poor quality that it was entirely unusable.Financial Duress: The sum charged for this project was exorbitant, especially considering that nothing of value was delivered. Payments were demanded under threats of halting the project, which now feels like outright extortion.No Source Code: Contrary to what was agreed upon, no source code files were provided, rendering any potential fixes or improvements impossible.Refund Ignored: Upon confronting them about these issues and asking for a refund, I was met with complete silence. My messages have been ignored, forcing me to take legal action.This has been a costly and time-consuming ordeal. I strongly advise against engaging with Sumeru Inc. Their lack of professionalism, poor execution, and complete disregard for their clients' needs are alarming. I am now in the process of taking legal steps to recover my losses.

Sharmila Kraja's Review Sourced from Google
Lively place where you can learn, work and grow. You can implement your ideas well and you'll be heard. Friendly colleague's and organised management!
You are ready to hire a VR or AR agency when you have a clear use case connected to a measurable business goal, not just general excitement about immersive technology. A strong sign you are too early is when nobody can clearly explain what success would actually look like.
Before reaching out to AR or VR companies, make sure you can answer a few basic questions:
If those things are still unclear, the first part of the agency engagement will likely be spent defining fundamentals instead of building the product, and you will still be paying for that time.
The organizations that get the best results from VR and AR agencies usually come in with a defined goal, realistic expectations, and a clear internal owner for the project. The brief does not need to be perfect, but it should be developed enough for the agency to improve and challenge it, not create it from scratch.
For most companies, starting with a pilot is the smarter option. It lowers risk, helps validate the idea, and usually leads to a better full build later.
A good VR or AR pilot should focus on:
The goal is to learn quickly: Does the experience feel intuitive? Are users comfortable using it? Does it actually improve behavior or outcomes the way you expected? Those insights are often more valuable than the demo itself.
A pilot is usually enough to reveal practical issues around interaction design, hardware limitations, onboarding, and user adoption before you commit to a much larger investment.
Committing to a full build upfront only makes sense in a few situations:
Strong VR and AR agencies will usually support a phased approach and help define what should be tested before scaling the project further.
A fair VR or AR contract should clearly give you ownership of the final deliverables: 3D assets, environments, source files, and interaction logic. If ownership terms are vague or missing, address that before signing.
A few areas deserve close attention:
Strong VR and AR agencies are usually comfortable with reasonable IP ownership and portability terms. If an agency pushes back heavily on those points, pay attention.
Post-launch support is where many VR and AR projects become unexpectedly expensive. Before signing with an agency, make sure you understand exactly what happens after launch.
A few important questions to ask:
ROI for a VR or AR project starts with one question: what business metric are you trying to improve, and what is that improvement worth financially? If you cannot answer that before talking to agencies, the project is still too vague.
The process is simpler than it sounds. Start with your current baseline: what does the problem cost today, or what result are you trying to improve? Then estimate what a realistic improvement would save or generate each year.
For example:
Industry benchmarks can help set expectations. Some enterprise AR/VR deployments report:
Then compare those potential gains against the full project cost, not just the agency fee. Include:
A VR project that costs $150,000 and saves $200,000 a year in training costs is relatively easy to justify. One that mainly creates a visually impressive demo without measurable business impact is much harder to defend financially.
Good VR and AR agencies should also be able to show examples of projects where they tracked results before and after launch. If they cannot connect the work to a business metric, that is important to notice early.
Rated 4.8 on Google and 4.7 on Trustpilot, DesignRush Agency Directory is a reliable resource for finding VR & augmented reality companies. We owe this to our executive selection team, which follows a strict screening process when featuring agencies on the platform, assessing key performance indicators, like portfolio, client reviews, and industry reputation.
Learn more about DesignRush Agency Ranking Methodology.
DesignRush sustains a directory of over 30,000 agencies categorized by service category, location, expertise, and reviews. We build our database in two ways:
Agencies can also reach out to DesignRush and must go through the verification process prior to being listed.
The biggest red flags when evaluating AR and VR companies are a portfolio full of demos with no real-world deployments, vague answers about device compatibility, and case studies that emphasize visual impressiveness rather than business outcomes.
Watch for these specifically:
Your use case requires VR or AR when the experience depends on spatial interaction, physical simulation, or the placement of digital content in a real environment. If a video, standard app, or 3D model on a screen can deliver the same result, the simpler option is usually better, faster, and cheaper.
A few useful checks:
If the answer is mostly no, you probably do not need VR or AR yet. Strong virtual and augmented reality companies will tell you that early instead of forcing immersive tech into the project.
Most buyers budget for the initial build and underestimate the ongoing costs. A VR or AR agency usually prices the experience itself, not everything needed to maintain it long term.
The costs that surprise buyers most often:
Building an AR/VR app usually takes between 3 and 12 months, depending on the complexity, features, integrations, graphics quality, and team size.
The timelines increase when the project includes:
A good VR or AR agency focuses on the problem first, not just the technology. Average agencies talk mostly about what is possible. Strong ones explain what actually makes sense for your goals, budget, and users.
Before signing, look for these signs:
If an AR or VR company avoids these conversations, push harder before committing.
A good VR or AR agency focuses on the problem first, not just the technology. Average agencies talk mostly about what is possible. Strong ones explain what actually makes sense for your goals, budget, and users.
Before signing, look for these signs:
If an AR or VR company avoids these conversations, push harder before committing.
You do not need a technical background to evaluate VR or AR agencies well. Focus on business outcomes and user experience, not the underlying technology.
A few things to look at:
Technology changes during VR and AR projects are common. New device releases, platform updates, and SDK changes can all affect the build. If the contract does not clearly define responsibility, expect to pay for the extra work.
Before signing, clarify:
A strong VR or AR agency will separate technology-driven changes from client-requested scope changes and explain both clearly upfront.
A VR or AR experience delivers real business value when it improves a measurable result that existed before the project started, not just when it looks impressive.
The right metrics depend on the use case:
What matters is comparison. You should be able to measure performance before and after launch.
When evaluating VR or AR agencies, ask for examples where they tracked a business metric from deployment to results. If they can only show visuals and demos, that is not proof of impact.
Most VR and AR case studies show that a project was built and looked impressive. Far fewer prove that it actually delivered results.
To evaluate a case study properly, look for four things:
If a case study cannot answer those clearly, it is mostly a portfolio piece, not strong evidence.
The best VR and AR agencies can walk through at least one project end-to-end with real numbers, measurable outcomes, and clear business impact.
