Software Development Review from Grzegorz Grabczak
We worked with Zealous System on an AI-powered fraud triage solution for one of our clients in the Europe financial services sector. The project involved a complex fraud investigation workflow where analysts were handling a large number of alerts and gathering information from multiple systems. Zealous System worked closely with us to understand the requirements, existing processes and expectations of the end client before moving into development. The team developed an AI-powered fraud triage agent that brings relevant information together, helps prioritise alerts and provides explainable recommendations while keeping human analysts involved in important decisions. What I appreciated was the team's ability to understand both the business and technical sides of the project. Communication was consistent, and they were responsive when requirements evolved during development and testing. The solution helped streamline the investigation process and reduce the amount of repetitive manual work involved in reviewing fraud alerts. Overall, we had a positive experience working with Zealous System. They were a reliable technology partner for us on this project, particularly given the complexity of introducing AI into a financial services environment.

DIPAK VAIDH's Review Sourced from Google
I visited Zealous System on 16th June 2025 for the walk-in interview announced on LinkedIn for interns/freshers in Python, PHP, WordPress, .Net, and QA roles. Despite clearly stating it was open for freshers, upon arrival, all Python candidates, including myself and my sister, were told they only accept those with prior experience, as interns are directly placed on live projects. This information was never mentioned in the post. The company blamed the marketing team for the misleading post. This experience wasted our valuable time, energy, and travel expenses. I urge the company to coordinate better internally and post accurate job/internship information to avoid misguiding freshers who genuinely seek opportunities.

Ravi Prajapati's Review Sourced from Google
Zealous System is outstanding when it comes to AI development! Their team helped us build a smart, AI-powered software solution that completely transformed how we manage data and customer interactions. They explained complex AI concepts in simple terms and delivered a solution that works flawlessly. From planning to post-launch support, everything was smooth and professional. Highly recommended if you're looking for reliable AI experts!

I've collaborated with Ricky from Shapeshift for 8 years as a graphic designer, and the experience has been incredibly enriching. Now, as a graphic design lecturer at Noroff, I invited Ricky for a guest talk with my students. He was outstanding, offering deep industry insights and inspiring the next generation of designers. Ricky's expertise and Shapeshift's approach to design have greatly contributed to my professional growth and my students' learning.

I have a new respect for the process of creating custom software. I found it very daunting in the beginning but the professional manner in which my project was handled made me more comfortable with the process. I managed to get exactly what I had in my head into a fully functioning application and I could not feel prouder. I highly recommend Netgen for custom software development.
