Intellectsoft Reviews & Testimonials

Software Development Review from Harshal Chhajed
They have highly skilled support staff for faster resolution which leads to customer satisfaction. Also, it has many features including IoT and blockchain apart from regular software development. If there are any changes in the scope of the project at a later stage, it can prove quite costly and also difficult to accommodate last-minute client-side scripting changes. They are versatile, cost-effective, and offer quick customer support. They offer a very customized software development tool where business needs can be addressed. It is very cost-optimized and hence can help generate good returns for business investment.

Software Development Review from Vitaly Dyachenko
Intellectsoft provided a great partnership by delivering quality services and working fast. They helped us to accomplish all the clients' projects on time. The team communicated transparently and showed [] great dedication. They were an ideal partner! (Verified via email)

Ezulix Reviews & Testimonials

Web Development Review from Evan Merali
We had a great experience working with Ezulix for the Web Development project. We were already impressed with their prolific experience in the same field coupled with reasonable pricing. Our project was complex and the architect at Ezulix conducted thorough review and displayed an impeccable understanding of the the functionalities and implementations.All of the deliveries were made in the timely manner. We highly recommend their services to anyone looking for blockchain application development.

Software Development Review from robert burr
Ezulix has focus on a highly responsive portfolio management solution capable of handling thousands of large, complex projects. The agency developed core technologies for the platform while collaborating closely with their team. Although remote work posed some challenges, we remarked that Ezulix's efficient project manager worked diligently to solve communication issues.

eCommerce Development Review from Ruth McMenamin
The team rarely encounters a design that truly leaves them in awe, but Ezulix's work perfectly captured the desired temperament and even surpassed expectations. 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.

Web Development Review from James Leonard Ehrlich, DVM
I wanted to outsource front end development while maintaining back end services myself.They started with existing React SPAs, cleaned them up, found and removed bugs, improved user interaction, made clear requests for new endpoints which I implemented and they tested and used.The time difference between my office in eastern USA and theirs in Moravia worked well, as we could meet at their afternoon/my morning and I had the rest of the day to deal with back end or questions they might have.Their professionalism and competency were impressive.I will continue working with them, for years, I hope, in maintenance mode or when we need to expand features.

CRM Development Review from Michal Konopa

Ballyhoo Reviews & Testimonials
Studio Götz's Review Sourced from Google
It has been a pleasure working with Ballyhoo over the last few months, creating our new website and brand guidelines. They have been professional and personable throughout, bringing energy, enthusiasm and lots of ideas to the table. They have listened and steered as appropriate, and provided a clear framework for developing the look, mechanics and content of the website. I am delighted with the end product, and how it reinforces the Studiogötz brand. Heart felt thanks to Ballyhoo!
Kristian Richmond's Review Sourced from Google
I am just at the start of my journey with Ballyhoo, but Anthony and Alison have been so helpful and have taken the time to help me and understand what I need to achieve. I am looking forward to a long and successful relationship with the team and couldn’t recommend them enough. Thankyou
Alex Simpson's Review Sourced from Google
Ballyhoo have been incredible from start to finish in helping us design and create, not only our website, but also brand guidelines and refining our digital assets such as our logo and imagery. I cannot thank them enough for such an incredible journey from a very welcoming and easy-going chat last year to our beautiful and fully functioning website. It really was (and still is) a joy to work with them.They took a rather erratic and uncomprehensive brief from me over a cup of coffee and really ran with it, sharing ideas and templates along the way to find the right feel and tone. What they have created for us is incredibly special and they should all feel immensely proud of what they have created for us, it is truly beautiful and unique!Beorma Leather Company,Aex.

Dotsquares Ltd Reviews & Testimonials
Ben Lord's Review Sourced from Google
I’m not usually one for making posts like this about other companies I do business with but given what I’ve experienced over the last 5 years, I feel very compelled to raising awareness into my experiences with Dotsquares.Initially, this company was very good at handling our website requirements. It was thanks to this that when I became the owner of Lorryspotting.com that I figured it would make sense to have them upgrade that website. It was a big project but with all the accolades and expertise that Dotsquares boasts about, it seemed to be within their scope of capability.Instead, it turned into the most miserable of projects that was riddled with the purest incompetence that I’ve had the misfortune to witness in almost 20 years of business. As per their terms of business, I advanced paid for part of the project yet they were incapable of delivering a functioning website. Added to this, the ageing status of the old site meant we suffered a server failure 16 months ago and when restoring the old site, it was proven that Dotsquares negligently compromised the colossal amount of data held on that site to potential hackers. By this point, enough was enough. Despite so-called “project managers” apparently understanding my business, they became mouthpieces with a catalogue of excuses and rhetoric that failed to take responsibility enveloped by expectations we would continue to pay to fix what they had caused.Ordinarily, escalating this to a company’s CEO should yield an immediate improvement to rectifying a situation. The CEO of this company ignored my email and relegated its handling to the very people causing the problem and failing to deliver any outcomes. It was therefore with no other alternative that I had to commence legal proceedings against this company. Despite repeated attempts to defend what was in essence an indefensible position, we reached a settlement on the matter, the terms of which I’m bound by a confidentiality order but has avoided it being played out before a Judge.Based on my reflections, this company may theoretically claim to value their customers but in reality their actions speak far louder. They do not deserve to be in business and I can’t even begin to fathom how they deal with some of the brands that their client list cites. I would absolutely urge anyone who does, or considers to work with them in any capacity to run for the hills - you will regret it otherwise! I only wish I had of checked out some of the reviews that are out there - reflecting on them now resonates virtually a carbon copy as to my experiences!

Palak Vig's Review Sourced from Google
I have been waiting for my website to be completed for two years now, and the experience has been increasingly frustrating. The lack of timely communication and follow-ups from their side has been disappointing. Despite my repeated efforts to get updates and move things forward, progress has been unreasonably slow. I expected a much higher level of professionalism and responsiveness. I hope they take this feedback seriously and improve their communication and delivery timelines moving forward.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the core specializations of IT services companies in the United Kingdom?
IT services companies in the United Kingdom offer a full suite of digital transformation and operational support services, focused on accelerating business growth, ensuring regulatory compliance, and strengthening security. In addition to core functions like managed IT, cloud hosting, and help desk support, key specializations include:
- IT consulting
- Digital strategy
- Managed security services (MSS)
- Cloud services
- Network infrastructure and unified communications
- Data backup and recovery
- System modernization
What certifications should an IT support company have?
For IT support companies, certifications signal adherence to global and local best practices. ISO/IEC 27001 is essential, crucial for complying with the UK's high data protection standards, including GDPR. Staff-level certifications like ITIL Foundation are also important, as well as Cyber Essentials for cybersecurity.
For assessing technical proficiency, look for vendor accreditations like Microsoft Gold Partner or high-level certifications like CISSP (Certified Information Systems Security Professional) for senior staff.
What information do I need to provide to an IT services company?
To initiate a successful partnership with an IT services company, you must be prepared to share detailed information across three critical tiers. Initially, outline your business context: including key growth objectives, the total count of users and endpoints, budget constraints, and a clear list of current IT challenges or 'pain points.'
Secondly, you’ll need to supply technical documentation, i.e., a complete inventory of hardware, existing licensed software and their keys, a network topology map, and details on any critical legacy systems. Lastly, you'll need to provide a statement of all mandatory compliance requirements and the necessary access credentials for core systems, such as firewalls, cloud tenants, and primary servers.
What factors affect IT services agency pricing?
Pricing for IT services in the UK is heavily influenced by the scope and inherent complexity of the required support, which determines the necessary staffing and skillset. Factors that directly impact costs include: the size and scale of the organization (number of users and managed devices), the stringency of the Service Level Agreement (SLA) required, especially for 24/7 or mission-critical support, and the technical maturity of the existing IT estate.
Additionally, stringent regulatory compliance will increase pricing, as well as the agency's location within the UK (London-based services typically cost more due to higher labor rates).
What questions should I ask United Kingdom IT support company before hiring?
Before committing to a United Kingdom IT support company, pose these questions to thoroughly assess its suitability, expertise, and operational alignment with your business:
- What are your guaranteed response and resolution times as per your Service Level Agreement (SLA)?
- How do you ensure full compliance with GDPR and other UK-specific data protection legislation?
- Do you operate a 24/7/365 UK-based service desk or is support outsourced after hours?
- What is your defined process for handling a high-priority cyber-security incident or major outage?
- Can you provide an example of how you've helped a client leverage cloud technology for a business outcome?
- How frequently do you conduct proactive security testing, patching, and hardware life-cycle reviews?
