Vasco Rouw
Founder at Mavelli

Mobile App Development Review from Vasco Rouw
Weve been working with Kevych Solutions full-time for over a year, and the experience has been excellent. They handle the complete end-to-end development of our AI-powered mobile apps, including UI/UX, frontend and backend development, AI integrations, infrastructure, deployment, and ongoing support.
What stands out most is the extremely high level of their technical expertise and execution quality. They actively use AI and modern development workflows to maximize efficiency and deliver results quickly. The team is highly responsive, proactive, and always goes the extra mile to meet deadlines.
Since working together, we scaled from 0 to over 100,000 subscribers in just 8 months, and our apps are now generating more than $1M in monthly revenue. Whenever challenges came up, we solved them together efficiently, and Kevych Solutions continuously adapted and grew alongside our projects.
We highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable, high-level mobile app development partner.

Mobile App Development Review from Lucas Chatham
I had an excellent experience working with this engineering firm to build a React Native app. Oleg and Ihor were exceptional software engineerstheir technical skills were top-notch, and they consistently delivered clean, well-structured code on time.
What really set this team apart was Volodymyr, their CTO. He was incredibly hands-on, maintaining clear and frequent communication throughout the project. He was always responsive and proactive in managing the work, which made the entire process smooth and stress-free.
The team was professional, reliable, and genuinely committed to quality. They understood my requirements and provided valuable input that improved the final product. Highly recommend this firm for anyone seeking skilled developers and excellent project management!

The feedback from existing users familiar with the old website has been overwhelmingly positive. Every aspect of the UX/UI design contributed to creating a website beyond what was initially envisioned. The team wholeheartedly recommends Ezulix for exceptional design solutions.

We partnered with HS on few projects. Started with small test work to see how things would go on a small scale. During this test we were able to talk with mgmt team (both PM and Top mgmt), CTO and few tech team members and we liked what we heard. Team was really focused on suggesting to us different options and describing pros and cons of each. So we proceeded to a bigger project planning. It's mid the journey and so far we are happy with the approach and quality, especially when some tension comes up with bugs or anything - we're able to figure out the win win, and we receive reasonable outline of why this or that happened.

El porqué de las cosas's Review Sourced from Google
One of the worst software companies we’ve ever worked with.
If you're considering working with them, read this first:
They never delivered the product they committed to — after getting paid, they vanished, leaving us with nothing.
Their business model seems to be: drag out projects endlessly, then charge extra to fix their own technical mess.
Endless bugs — every fix introduced more problems. It was a never-ending cycle.
The product never worked at any point, not even partially.
They talk a lot about “best practices”, “scalability”, and “clean architecture”, but:
Their code, reviewed by external experts, was a disaster.
Functions with over 500 lines, no automated tests, no proper error handling, and no security.
Critical security flaws:
Users could access and modify other users’ resources — a massive breach of trust and privacy.
Ultimately, it was a complete waste of time, money, and energy.
When challenged, they were arrogant and even mocked us instead of taking accountability.
🔴 Avoid them at all costs. If you value your time, your budget, and your sanity — don’t even call them.

Well, I can only recommend this company for the logo. Otherwise, I really have to say that my experience was that the network wasn't right - and I had to pay extra for the phone calls for complaints such as a new but not working scanner/printer and the problem still wasn't solved. I see here the typical mentality of a "construction company" that promises but only delivers exactly if you monitor every step. Here, too, people like to talk things out of others, they like to be paid extra to fix the defects rather than trying to provide a real, sustainable service, and I don't see the willingness to admit the mistakes here.

5 Frequently Asked Questions About IT Outsourcing Companies
What services do IT outsourcing firms provide?
IT outsourcing companies provide on-demand services for network security, infrastructure management, disaster recovery, cloud services, data storage, general technical support, and sometimes, software development. The service entails hiring an external managed service provider (MSP) to handle various IT-related tasks and operate as an extension to the in-house team.
The following IT services are commonly outsourced:
Technical support
Data security (security audits, malware protection, data backup and recovery)
Tech infrastructure planning
Helpdesk
Application, software, database, and custom platform development
Network management
Web development/web hosting
Telecommunications
Infrastructure – hardware, software, network installation and support
Data center management
Data storage
What are the different types of IT outsourcing?
When considering IT outsourcing service providers, businesses can choose based on location or collaborating model.
Location-based IT outsourcing
Offshore outsourcing: Relaying IT tasks to IT providers in distant countries to take advantage of lower labor costs.
Nearshore outsourcing: Sending IT-related work to a company that shares a similar time zone or is geographically close.
Onshore outsourcing: Outsourcing a third-party service provider located in the same country.
Model-based IT outsourcing
Staff augmentation: Hiring external IT specialists to join the in-house team temporarily and fill skill gaps without full recruitment.
Dedicated team: Assigning a dedicated team that works exclusively for the contracting company.
Managed services: Contracting a third-party company to provide network management services including call centers, network monitoring, and more.
How much do IT outsourcing service providers charge for their services?
IT outsourcing service providers charge from $15 to $200+ per hour, depending on the services and the provider's location. When considering the cost-to-quality-ratio, businesses commonly hire Eastern European IT outsourcing firms, particularly from Poland, Lithuania, Romania, and Bulgaria. Here’s how other regions compare:
Region
Average hourly rate
North America
$100 to $200
Western Europe
$80 to $150
Eastern Europe
$30 to $70
South Asia
$20 to $50
Southeast Asia
$15 to $40
Latin America
$25 to $60
What is the difference between IT consulting and IT outsourcing?
In simple terms, the difference between IT consulting and IT outsourcing is that consulting helps you decide what needs to be done, while IT outsourcing companies do it for you.
An IT consulting firm studies the IT infrastructure, identifies problems, checks for vulnerabilities, and recommends what systems, tools, or processes you should use. By contrast, an IT outsourcing company takes over specific work, such as managing infrastructure, maintaining software, handling support, or running day-to-day IT operations.
What industries hire most IT outsourcing firms?
The BSFI (banking, financial services, and insurance) sector outsources IT services the most. The majority of institutions in this vertical have a dedicated IT outsourcing firm that handles their software and cloud maintenance.
Following as a close second are healthcare, retail, and eCommerce verticals. Businesses across these sectors hire IT specialists to accelerate their omnichannel, mobile, and personalization initiatives.
