      The exception team the client collaborated with brought in fresh ideas and innovative technologies previously unfamiliar to the client. For example, with Yalantis' guidance, the client's developers explore the Go language. The primary reason the client chose Yalantis is its strong organizational and project management skills. It's not just about the developers; Yalantis provides a comprehensive support framework, ensuring that a project manager is consistently present. (Verified via email)

      ELEKS was able to take our vision and help us deliver an app that empowers retail shareholders to make their voices heard. They’ve brought a depth and breadth of technical expertise and user experience design to challenge us on our assumptions on how people would want to interact with the app. From a mobile development perspective, we wanted to go to market with both an Android and an iPhone simultaneously.

      wdi took the vision we had and turned it into something even better. They built this incredibly detailed app that lets users filter hotels based on things like airport transfers, car services, or other specific amenities. Travelers can also quickly spot deals or limited-time offers with just a glance. One of the coolest parts is how the app keeps guests updated when theyre checked into a hotel - whether it's on-site events or nearby activities, theyll get notifications straight to their phone. The feedback system they added is a game-changer. Guests can send questions or share thoughts right from their rooms, and they get notified the moment theres a response.

      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.

      We hired Altoros engineers as an essential extension of our client-facing internal teams. This was a tough decision because our reputation as a brand depends on the overall efficiency of our processes and we needed to make sure all risks are mitigated when it comes to delivery. Altoros has not let us down. Together with Altorosians we successfully deployed a number of tough and technologically complex projects on time. So our collaboration is certainly set to continue.

      In my 30 years in the software business, I have never had as positive an experience with an outsourced development services provider as I have with Altoros. Each Altoros engineer we have worked with has been strong technically, estimated development times accurately, completed projects on time, and delivered code and projects with high quality. Beyond that, they have helped improve our thinking and approach with suggestions and ideas that were better than the spec of instructions we supplied.

      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.

      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.

      David B's Review Sourced from Google

      I want to share my experience so others are aware of the tactics this company uses. I was first contacted via an unsolicited spam text message promoting app development services. I had never heard of this business before, nor did I request any information from them. To see who was really behind the spam, I replied with a simple question about app pricing. The next day, I was contacted directly by this company. What was most concerning is that they tried to claim I had emailed them asking for their services — which is completely false. I never sent them an email or initiated any legitimate contact. The only reason they had my information was because of their own spam outreach. This is both misleading and dishonest. Professional companies do not need to resort to spamming strangers or fabricating stories about how potential clients found them. This type of behavior demonstrates a serious lack of transparency and integrity. If a business cannot be upfront and honest during the very first interaction, it raises major red flags about how they would handle a client’s project, communication, data, and money over time. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend this company. Trust is one of the most important parts of choosing a development partner, and unfortunately, their conduct showed me they are not worthy of that trust. I strongly advise anyone considering working with them to be cautious and look elsewhere for reputable professionals.

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.
