Azumo Reviews & Testimonials
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.
UI/UX Design Review from Anonymous
Azumo helped us migrate our existing UIs into a new framework, creating reusable components and the infrastructure needed for future development. The developer they assigned became a seamless part of our team, always punctual, responsive, and a great fit overall.
Software Development Review from Anonymous
Thanks to Azumo’s work, our product is now more scalable, optimized, and ready for a growing user base. Their team has managed the engagement effectively, keeping us updated and addressing any challenges along the way. We’ve appreciated their constant availability and proactive communication.

Software Development Review from Anonymous
We had created a conceptual framework to authenticate and verify the provenance, transaction history, and authorship of blockchain-based NFTs. Talentica was brought on board to test and refine the concept from both functional and engineering perspectives, and later to build a Minimum Viable Product (MVP) aligned with the agreed specifications and constraints.
Software Development Review from Anonymous
For several years, the team was composed entirely of Talentica contractors. Since January 2022, I have been directly managing them. The Talentica team handled the admin tooling backend, which included multiple Python Flask services with Postgres and Elasticsearch. These services operated in a service-oriented architecture deployed on Kubernetes, using Istio for service mesh and Spinnaker for deployments.

Designli Reviews & Testimonials
Mobile App Development Review from John Laporte
Designli helped us define the requirements, features, and user experience for an app for our motorcycle organization. They produced technical documentation and a clickable prototype covering navigation, member tools, and safety features. They were responsive, delivered on time every time, and turned our broad concepts into something people could actually click through. The prototype got our stakeholders aligned, earned internal approval, and set us up for engineering, and working out design questions early should save us rework later.
Mobile App Development Review from Brandi Heffner
Designli built our SaaS product from scratch, using AI to speed up development, with AWS and Cloudflare in the stack, and they also handle our hosting and maintenance. We had a working MVP in just 30 days and have kept adding features since. In the first 60 days they went beyond what we expected, largely because they took the time to really learn our business and our market. Coordination through Basecamp and Google Meet has kept everything organized.
Mobile App Development Review from Thomas Simmons
Designli took over app development and marketing for our driving school, with the goal of building a product we could eventually offer to other schools. Within two and a half months, the app was up and running in our own school. Their project management is excellent, and they push back constructively, thinking through what we actually need instead of building every request as-is.

The final product optimized the company's process as expected and has been well received by users. The company appreciated how well the Geeky Ants communicated, always punctual for meetings, and responsive to inquiries despite being in different timezones.
suresh's Review Sourced from Google
Candidates should carefully evaluate whether to participate in this interview process. Based on my experience, it seems the interviews are being conducted primarily for showcase purposes rather than actual hiring, leading to a significant waste of candidates' time, preparation, and effort.
Deekshu Gunaga's Review Sourced from Google
Very poor hiring management experience at GeekyAnts. After scheduling the interview and making candidates wait for one week, the hiring team only said the application was “on hold” and mentioned there may be an update next month. After that, there was no response or communication at all. Candidates deserve proper updates and professional handling instead of being ignored. It was worst experience
