eCommerce Development Review from Kelly Johnson
Since partnering with Bilberry, we have seen a marked improvement in our websites stability and performance. Their team manages our backlogged issues with such efficiency that our monthly development spend has actually decreased. Estimates are consistently accurate, and we appreciate their proactive communication; if a projects scope evolves, they provide an updated estimate for approval before moving forward. Our monthly sprints are now seamless thanks to their reliable planning and ability to scale resources rapidly to meet even the tightest deadlines.
Web Development Review from Adam Ely, PMP
As Director of Operations at Sands Investment Group, I partnered with Bilberrry to lead the redesign and rebuild of our website, enhance our marketing operations, and streamline internal workflows. We chose Bilberrry for their strong technical capabilities, cultural alignment, and outstanding reputation. The project followed a well-structured four-phase process: discovery, design, development, and launch. From the beginning, Bilberrry took a strategic and collaborative approach, conducting workshops and technical audits to define a scalable architecture and intuitive user experience. Their team went on to create custom designs for more than 20 pages, build a flexible design system, and ensure the site met key standards for SEO and accessibility. On the development side, they customized a robust content management system tailored to our needs, incorporating dynamic listing features such as saved searches, email alerts, and early-access content for select users. The new site also connected seamlessly with our internal tools, enabling greater efficiency and automation across teams. The impact was immediate and significant: we saw a dramatic reduction in manual processes. Our team is now better equipped to manage content independently, while the platform itself is built for long-term scalability and performance. Throughout the process, Bilberrry was responsive, professional, and incredibly easy to work with. They communicated clearly, incorporated feedback quickly, and consistently brought thoughtful, strategic ideas to the table. Bilberrry's unique blend of strategic insight, technical depth, and design acumen made them an invaluable partner in creating a high-performing, visually polished digital platform tailored to our business.
Web Design Review from Ari Bixhorn
Bilberrry’s work gave our new website improved performance, greater SEO flexibility, and pages that are much easier to build. They delivered everything on time and kept communication proactive throughout. Their strong project management, technical expertise, and responsiveness built real trust during the process.

Web Development Review from Umesh Agrawal
Been in water treatment for a long time, RO systems, softeners, iron removal, valves, the works, but our website never reflected any of that properly before this project. Mindrops rebuilt everything from zero, splitting products by segment, residential, commercial, industrial, municipal, agricultural, so customers actually land on what is relevant to them instead of scrolling through everything. Certifications like ISO, NSF, WQA are shown clearly too, which matters a lot when a municipal client is deciding whether to trust a vendor or not. Project is still ongoing honestly, we keep adding case studies and new product entries as things come up. Somewhere in the middle, content approvals got a bit messy since our team kept revising specs, cost us close to two extra weeks on a few product pages, mostly our own doing though. Once we settled into a proper rhythm, things moved fine after that. Would tell other manufacturing companies to go with Mindrops if they have a big, complicated catalogue that needs proper structuring online.
Web Development Review from Rashmi
Our company needed a website that people could trust, since we deal in loans, insurance, collection and DSA services. Mindrops built the entire website from zero, no template used, covering everything from the homepage to a detailed "How We Work" section explaining our process in four steps. Website design work included proper mobile responsiveness, clean service pages and simple navigation so visitors do not get confused. They also worked in trust building things like our pan India service and how we handle customer data, without it feeling forced into the page. Since going live, our website has become the first place new clients and partner institutions check before contacting us. Overall the project went smoothly, though there was one stretch in the middle where content approval got delayed by almost a week because of some back and forth on wording. Once we fixed a proper review schedule, things picked up pace again. Would recommend Mindrops to other financial services companies looking for a website that actually explains their business well.
Web Development Review from Akanksha Aggarwal
Novah by Akankshaa sells crystal jewellery and gift sets, and most people pick a piece because of what it means to them. Our old way of selling, which was mostly Instagram, did not show that at all. Mindrops built the complete ecommerce website for us, right from grouping the products to putting it live. Collections were set up as Signature Bracelets, Crystal Mixels, Luxury Line, Trims & Charms and Sets & Gifting, plus a second way to shop based on things like Abundance & Wealth or Calm & Clarity. Cart, checkout, wishlist, login and search were all built in the same go. The Watch and Buy part, where a video plays next to a product you can buy, gets used a lot. Orders come straight through the site now instead of through chat, which changed how our days run. The launch happened on the exact date given at the start. Not everything was smooth though, the product page had to be built again after it ran slow on mid range phones and that fix took longer than promised. For a small jewellery brand going online properly for the first time, it was worth the money.

Product Design Review from Sofia Diaz
I had an idea and vision, which intent helped me bring to life. We required a platform that would be usable on different types of mobile and desktop devices, as well as work on different browsers. We went through the process of designing the product and building an MVP. Their UX designer evaluated the mockups I gave them. Then, they gave me some suggestions on how to improve the product and provided a UI designer, who built the interfaces. From there, intent handled the following stages of product development. We went through several iterations based on user feedback for the MVP, and every feature was QA-tested before release. Now, we continue to improve the product on a monthly basis.

Called to speak to someone in IT regarding some of the technologies they have as it seemed as though they had some interesting offerings. I asked a guy (Michael Honore) to hear a bit more and he said "that's great, I'm working" and hung up on me. Perhaps he isn't working too hard as I tried calling the sales number on their website and it was the cell phone number of a former employee who hasn't worked there in a long time. Needless to say he had some not so nice things to say about this "disorganized and unprofessional" company.

Cloud consultants can help businesses control costs, align cloud systems with business goals, and identify risks or inefficiencies that internal teams may overlook.
They can also fill skill gaps for organizations with limited in-house cloud expertise.
A Deloitte study found that while 95% of IT and business leaders believe that cloud is critical to digital transformation, 57% said lack of experience is a major barrier to implementation.
Moreover, 35% of organizations moved workloads back to on-premise setups after experiencing unexpected cloud costs.
For businesses dealing with these issues, a cloud consulting partner can provide the strategic, technical, and operational guidance needed to improve outcomes.
According to Flexera's State of the Cloud report, small and midsize businesses continue to rely on cloud consultants and managed service providers for services such as:
To prepare for cloud adoption, assess your migration readiness, security and compliance requirements, business goals, and technical environment. Key preparation steps include:
Cloud migration can take 1-4 weeks for small businesses rehosting their IT infrastructure using off-the-shelf solutions. However, enterprise-level migrations that require a hybrid cloud strategy may take over 1 year.
The factors impacting the cloud migration timeline include:
Approximate cloud migration timelines:
Before hiring a cloud consulting firm, ask questions that help you evaluate its experience, delivery process, and fit for your specific project:
To choose the right consultant for your business, specify the outcomes you want to achieve and weigh them against the consultant's capabilities and past results.
Here are some steps to guide you:
Rated 4.8 on Google and 4.7 on Trustpilot, DesignRush Agency Directory is a reliable resource for finding cloud consulting 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.
DesignRush sustains a directory of over 40,000 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.
Cloud consulting companies typically provide these specialized services:
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.
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 |
The right choice depends on your security and compliance requirements, workload patterns, internal IT capabilities, and budget.
Consider choosing a cloud platform if:
Consider an on-premise setup if:
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.
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.
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:
We have curated a list of top consulting companies on DesignRush across multiple price points, so you can identify a vendor that's within your budget.
