Software Development Review from Michael S.
We selected Azumo to develop our software. We transitioned from another development company, so Azumo was initially responsible for migrating our existing code and environments. We are currently still working with Azumo as our nearshore software development team on adding new items to our software.

The team at Sembit and their work product has been nothing short of stellar. The team is a delight to work with. We have actively looked for more projects for them to work on because their deliverables are timely and of high quality. Sembit started out doing a mobile app project for us, then they grew to doing our Playground project for our effcc Compiler. They have also done a number of backend systems projects as well. The Sembit team are trusted advisors when we need to deploy a new system or work on a new project. Sembit will always be a go-to partner.

Roman Kirsanov Founder and CEO at Partner Insight
5.0★
Web Development Review from Roman Kirsanov
We set out to create a website that would serve as a QR code generating platform, combining both aesthetic appeal and user-friendly navigation. Our goal was to provide an intuitive experience that would cater to a wide range of users while maintaining a visually attractive design to enhance user engagement. We needed a robust and efficient QR code generation system that enables users to input desired information and generate corresponding QR codes. This system also supports customization options, such as QR code size, color, and format. The website required appropriate technologies and frameworks to ensure compatibility, performance, and security. This includes front-end and back-end development, database management, and system integration. They successfully developed a fully functional QR code generating platform that, in my opinion, is visually appealing. Additionally, they carried out thorough testing and continue to provide valuable maintenance and support services. Their team consisted of young and highly knowledgeable professionals who not only possess expertise in their field but also know how to maintain a fun and enjoyable work environment.

Web Development Review from Carrie Lovelace Petr, Ph.D., PCC, BCC
We engaged MunchTechnoZ to develop a Learning Management System (LMS) aimed at providing online consultations for our customers. The platform also included a chat feature for interacting with students and making changes to their academic papers. MunchTechnoZ offered a ready-made LMS solution and had prior experience in building similar systems. Instead of starting from scratch, we opted to purchase part of their existing code, and MunchTechnoZ customized it to meet our specific requirements. The LMS developed by MunchTechnoZ had a significant positive impact on our business. It enhanced our communication with clients and improved the overall customer experience. Their project management approach was exemplary—transparent and well-structured. By employing Agile methodology and managing tasks through Jira, we could easily track progress without needing frequent updates. This clarity and openness saved us time and effort. I was particularly impressed by the team's communication and expertise. MunchTechnoZ has specialized teams for different industries, including a dedicated group focused on advertising technology projects. Their technical knowledge was outstanding, and their developers offered valuable suggestions that greatly benefited our product.

They provided highly skilled professionals who delivered exceptional quality work within the agreed timeline. The management team was exemplary, addressing any issues promptly and efficiently. The project was completed on schedule, demonstrating their strong project management and dedication to deadlines.

Post-launch issues were minimal, reflecting their thorough testing and quality assurance processes. Additionally, the improved user experience garnered positive feedback, increased satisfaction, and better interactions with the website. MunchTechnoZ’s commitment to excellence and proactive approach to problem-solving were remarkable. They not only met but often exceeded our expectations, seamlessly adapting to evolving project requirements. Their responsiveness and dedication to understanding our specific needs and goals truly set them apart.

Flyaps Reviews & Testimonials
Andrew Stetsenko Founder at GlossaryTech, backed by Dice
5.0★
Python Django Review from Andrew Stetsenko
We partnered with Flyaps to build the GlossaryTech Chrome Extension from scratch, including the backend for tech terminology analysis. The goal was to help recruiters, sales professionals, and other non-technical specialists in IT quickly understand the technical terms they encounter every day.The first release shipped back in 2017, long before today's AI tools were available off the shelf. Flyaps built a custom tokenization layer on top of NLTK library to resolve the ambiguity problem - distinguishing "Go" the language from "go to the shop," or "Swift" the framework from the adjective, while also correctly recognizing multi-token terms like "Ruby on Rails" or "Amazon Web Services". It was a pragmatic, precise solution that made the extension genuinely usable from day one.The outcomes have validated that early bet. GlossaryTech now holds "Featured" status in the Chrome Web Store, has passed 25,000 downloads, and consistently serves 10,000+ weekly active users and 2,000+ daily active users. For a niche professional tool, that level of organic, sustained engagement is rare - and it traces directly back to the technical foundation Flyaps put in place.Beyond the engineering, what stood out was how Flyaps engaged with the product itself. They contributed to architecture decisions, flagged edge cases early, and treated scope conversations with honesty rather than upsell. Communication was straightforward throughout, deadlines were met, and the codebase has held up well as we've extended the product over time.I'd recommend Flyaps to anyone looking for a partner who combines solid engineering with genuine product thinking. They've been central to GlossaryTech's success and continue to be a team we trust.
Dariia Ryzhova Product Manager at Nextgen
4.7★
Software Development Review from Dariia Ryzhova
Our collaboration with Flyaps has lasted for several major projects, of which I personally worked with them on two. I am very satisfied with the level of expertise (both technical and domain), the involvement and responsibility of the teams, and the quality of delivery. We successfully brought 2 major products to life together. Flyaps teams have diverse specializations, so I had the opportunity to attract consultants from different fields: software developers, including high-level architects, DevOps, QA, and business analysts.The teams have a modern technology stack and are experienced in Agile development. This allowed for smooth integration with internal teams and processes. It is also important to note that Flyaps provides technical consulting on demand, and this was very valuable service as well. Overall, I can recommend working with Flyaps as a reliable and high-quality partner.

6 Frequently Asked Questions About Cloud Consultants
What services do cloud consulting firms provide?
Cloud consulting companies typically provide these specialized services:
System audit and strategy: Assessing the current IT infrastructure, applications, and processes to identify gaps, uncover opportunities, and develop a cloud strategy aligned with business goals.
Cloud migration and implementation: Moving data, applications, and infrastructure from on-premises environments or legacy systems to the cloud platform and performing cloud integration while minimizing downtime and preserving data integrity.
Cloud operations and optimization: Reviewing an existing cloud environment to identify performance issues, security gaps, and cost inefficiencies, and recommending improvements to increase reliability, scalability, and cost-effectiveness.
Regulatory compliance and security: Helping organizations operate under the cloud shared responsibility model by implementing identity and access management (IAM), encryption, governance controls, and other cybersecurity measures to protect systems and data.
Cloud training: Providing workshops, documentation, and hands-on training so internal teams can effectively use, manage, and maintain their cloud environment.
Some firms also offer adjacent cloud consulting services, such as data analytics, digital transformation, DevOps, AI/ML development, custom software development, managed services, and ongoing support.
What is the difference between cloud consulting companies and managed services?
Top cloud consulting firms primarily help organizations plan, design, migrate, and optimize their cloud environments. Managed services, by contrast, focus on the ongoing operation, monitoring, and support of IT systems. Here is a side-by-side comparison:
Cloud Consulting Firms
Managed Services Providers
Primary focus
Strategy, architecture, migration, compliance, and optimization
Day-to-day operations, monitoring, maintenance, and support
Services
Cloud assessments, roadmap development, migration planning, implementation, governance, compliance, optimization, and training
Infrastructure monitoring, incident response, patching, cybersecurity support, help desk services, backups, and disaster recovery
Engagement model
Typically, project-based or advisory, with some offering ongoing support
Usually long-term and recurring under a managed service agreement
Best for
Organizations planning a migration, modernization effort, or cloud optimization initiative
Organizations that need continuous operational support for existing systems
When should you choose a cloud platform or an on-premises setup?
The right choice depends on your security and compliance requirements, workload patterns, internal IT capabilities, and budget.
Consider choosing a cloud platform if:
Your team works across multiple locations and needs reliable remote access.
Your workloads or data volumes fluctuate, and you need to scale up or down quickly.
You are a startup or small business seeking faster deployment, lower upfront costs, and greater flexibility.
Consider an on-premise setup if:
You work with highly sensitive data or proprietary systems that require strict control over infrastructure.
You operate in a highly regulated industry where certain data or workloads must remain on-premises.
You have stable, predictable workloads that can justify the higher upfront investment over time.
In some cases, a hybrid approach may be the best option, especially for organizations that want to keep sensitive systems on-premises while using the cloud for scalability, collaboration, or backup and disaster recovery.
When should you hire a cloud consultant vs. keep it in-house?
Consider hiring a cloud consultant when you need specialized expertise, an outside perspective, or extra support for a complex project. Consultants help fill skill gaps on your internal team, develop a migration strategy, and recommend the right cloud platform, deployment model, and tech stack according to your needs.
A cloud consulting company can also help identify gaps and opportunities in your current cloud platforms to further align them with your business goals, operational needs, and compliance requirements.
On the other hand, keep cloud computing in-house if you already have an experienced internal team that can plan, migrate, set up, maintain, and manage your environment effectively.
An in-house approach may also be preferable if you work with highly sensitive data or proprietary systems and want tighter day-to-day control over operations.
How much do cloud consulting services cost?
The cost of cloud consulting services starts at $60-$180 per hour, while senior consultants or highly specialized experts may charge $100-$250+ per hour. The total cost of service will depend on project scale and complexity, security and compliance requirements, and technologies involved.
Approximate cloud consulting service rates are as follows:
Small engagements ($10,000-$50,000+): These often include cloud assessments, a cloud adoption roadmap, proof of concept (PoC), and ready-to-use service deployment.
Mid-sized engagements ($50,000-$150,000+): Customized cloud infrastructure design, governance setup, and integration with existing systems.
Large-scale projects (starts at $150,000): Multi-environment migrations, advanced security and compliance frameworks, large-scale modernization, or complex platform initiatives.
Enterprise-level projects (starts at $500,000): Highly customized architecture, enterprise-wide cloud transformation, multiple integrations, strict compliance requirements, and support for large internal teams or business units.
