ELEKS Reviews & Testimonials

Software Development Review from John Armstrong
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.

Software Development Review from Mark Battcock
We are very happy with our ELEKS partnership; the dedication of the team is exceptional. We would certainly recommend ELEKS and would be happy to work with them again. In fact, they continue to be our partner for the 2nd phase of the CDX project to add even more customer services to the website.

Software Development Review from Huntly Christie
What impressed me about ELEKS is the culture. There is a very strong culture of discipline and performance, and software is a profession where discipline is very important. Good software development can only happen with a strong work ethic, and I think the ELEKS team really understands that.

Chop Dawg Reviews & Testimonials

Web Development Review from Jimmy Caldwell
Chop Dawg was the strongest development team I’ve worked with in 18 years of software implementation. They took our complex AI-powered senior placement platform and turned it into a functional marketplace with dashboards, business rules, CRM integration, and an AI assistant. The team listened, adapted, communicated often, and treated our vision with real care. The handoff had a few gaps, but overall, they delivered exceptional work.

Design Services Review from Nathan May
Chop Dawg delivered wireframes, high-fidelity screens, a logo, and Figma files while keeping each week’s work clear. They felt like part of our team, brought fresh ideas, and pushed back when needed. The experience was strong overall, though a more detailed final review would have been helpful.

Web Design Review from Anonymous
Chop Dawg turned our early idea for a visual polling and decision-making platform into a prototype we could confidently share with others. It made the product much easier to explain, gave us something real to test with users, and supported more productive investor conversations. The work also helped our team get aligned on the product direction, development scope, and MVP roadmap. Their team was responsive, organized, and easy to work with throughout the process.

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
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.

Scott Bohning (RockerNJ)'s Review Sourced from Google
As a developer, working with the UX Team was always smooth sailing. Their UX is tight and clean, never any unrealistic "if this, then that". I can give them their own branch, and they check it back in with all of the assets I need in order to develop the project. Always properly formatted and well comments. No time wasted on "spaghetti code". After working on multiple projects with the UX Team, I can say I HIGHLY recommend them!
Frank McQuarrie's Review Sourced from Google
We had a very good experience working with UX Team. They understood our product and presented intelligent, well thought-out, designs. Their work provided the structure of a complete site overhaul and we are very happy with the results. I would definitely recommend.
Mike Benyo's Review Sourced from Google
The UX Team is amazing. High-end professionals, they are really experts in all aspects of UI and UX. Chris and the Team were able to immerse themselves in our complex product environment and develop a Design System and screens that completely exceeded our expectations. They went beyond just the user interface, and actually thought about the key functionality in new ways. And even came up with new monetization opportunities that we had never considered. This is the team you want on your side for your next project!

Leanware Reviews & Testimonials

AI Development Review from Julia Antoci
Leanware built the mobile MVP of our AI fitness assistant for iOS and Android. It started with discovery workshops that sharpened the product vision and shaped an MVP roadmap prioritizing launch features while leaving room for expansions like avatars and real-time feedback. They developed a conversational AI engine with custom prompt and context engineering tailored to fitness conversations, one that keeps continuity across sessions, remembers user progress and preferences, and keeps health guidance within safety standards. On top of that they implemented photo-based food recognition, smart search that understands fitness intent, personalized recommendations, progress tracking with AI-generated insights and coaching suggestions, and gamified response formats that make AI answers easy to read, plus the scalable backend behind it all. Their consultation saved us an estimated 20 to 30 percent in costs by avoiding unnecessary complexity, and we launched a functional MVP across the app stores in under eight weeks, faster than planned. Project management was exceptional: clear timelines, on-schedule delivery, and proactive communication via Slack, with expert recommendations guiding decisions rather than every choice being pushed back to us. Their technical skill and creativity made the whole thing feel less like hiring a vendor and more like building with a co-founder.

Software Development Review from Anonymous
Leanware delivered two significant projects for our e-commerce platform along with a steady stream of smaller fixes and enhancements. They built a new employee management page in our back office so our customers can create accounts, set permissions, and link employees to entities on their own, and when our mobile app's chat functionality needed replicating in the back office, they built a custom chat and messaging React library from scratch, integrated seamlessly with our design system and existing bespoke solution. Along the way they worked comfortably across Next.js, React, React Native, Apollo, GraphQL, and Hasura, and adapted to our implicit conventions. We ran week-long SCRUM sprints with check-ins three times a week, and they consistently hit the sprint goals on time; even when we needed hard pivots mid-sprint, they adapted without losing pace. As the engagement progressed they increasingly took the lead, asking well-informed questions and offering suggestions on code, product, and design that genuinely enriched the outcomes. What impressed us most was how swiftly they onboarded: given incomplete product descriptions, they asked the right questions to fill the gaps and picked up our undocumented code patterns without getting stuck on minor details. It felt like one cohesive team working toward shared objectives, free of the friction that usually comes with a third party

Mobile App Development Review from Anonymous
Leanware has partnered with us since Q4 2023 on two cloud-based mobile apps for iOS and Android, one built in Flutter and one in React Native, handling development on both and the UI/UX design on one. For one project they staffed a team of five mid-level developers, a senior developer, an architect, and a UX designer available as needed. They also took over an app that was unstable and nowhere near production-ready and turned it into a stable, solid product I'm genuinely proud to show. Their processes leave nothing to chance and the code that comes out of them is excellent; they've been flexible and thorough throughout. They meet deadlines, keep their promises, and are careful about what they commit to. The whole team has been great, and Alvaro, their Technical Product Manager, deserves a special mention for being remarkable. I hired them because they were upfront about what they could and couldn't do, and that honesty, together with the tremendous quality of their work, is what separates them from other providers. Both are getting harder to find these days.

I'm sure I was one of the more challenging customers Doodle N Dash has worked with. As a senior with limited tech experience, Mo had to guide me through a great deal. I'm certain I tested his patience on more than a few occasions, but he always answered my questions — sometimes more than once — and returned my calls and texts promptly.

Software Development Companies FAQs
What are the most requested services of custom software development firms?
The most requested services from custom software development firms are almost entirely AI-based products, delivered primarily through web application development, mobile development, AI agent development, and legacy system refactoring. UX/UI design, cloud infrastructure, DevOps, and QA automation are typically not sold as standalone services; instead, they are embedded within each of these project types.
As reported by Diffco, year-over-year trends show a prevailing shift: AI agent development has grown from a niche request into a significant share of overall volume, while demand for legacy system refactoring continues to rise as clients seek to prepare their existing systems to support AI capabilities.
| Service | Share of total demand |
| Web application development | 40% |
| Mobile app development | 30% |
| AI agent development | 20% |
| Legacy system refactoring | 10% |
How much does a software development company charge for its services?
Software development services typically cost $50,000 for MVPs to $2 million+ for enterprise software. US developers generally charge $120-$200/hour, while developers in Europe and Asia charge around $25-$150/hour.
How do I determine if a global company is the right size for my project?
To determine if a global software development agency is the right size for your project, match project complexity and scale to company capacity.
Choose a large/global agency with 1000+ staff, if your project:
- Is complex or enterprise-grade, includes multiple software solutions, integrations, and compliance
- Requires multiple roles in parallel (project management, UX/UI design, backend, quality assurance (QA), DevOps)
- Needs 24/7 support, multi-time-zone delivery, or long-term maintenance
Large software development companies reduce delivery risk for complex programs but typically charge higher rates and use more structured processes.
Choose a small or mid-size agency with 10-200 staff if your project:
- Is an MVP or mid-scale build
- Requires speed, flexibility, and direct access to senior talent
- Has a tighter budget and well-defined scope
Who owns the Intellectual Property (IP) and source code at the end of the project?
In most software development projects, the client owns the Intellectual Property (IP) and source code upon completion of the engagement, unless the contract explicitly states otherwise. Standard practice dictates that the ownership of the source code, documentation, design elements, and custom deliverables belongs to the client upon full payment. Contracts typically use "work made for hire" or an IP assignment clause to formalize this.
Third-party or open-source components, however, are not owned by the client. Instead, they are used under their respective licenses. Some agencies retain ownership of pre-existing frameworks or reusable tools and grant the client a license to use them. You should also know that IP ownership is not automatic. To avoid disputes, ensure the contract clearly states full IP and source-code ownership transfers to you upon payment, with no usage limitations.
What tools and frameworks do software developers use?
They use various tools and frameworks, depending on the type of digital product they’re building. But the most common include:
- Full-stack JavaScript: MERN, MEAN, Jamstack (ex, Next.js)
- Backend: Java-Spring, Python, Django, Ruby on Rails, LAMP
- UI and Cross-Platform Development: React, Angular, Vue, Qt
- Languages: JavaScript, TypeScript, Python, Kotlin
- AI and Data-Driven Development: Python, Hugging Face, LangChain, Apache Spark, Kafka, Kubeflow, Lite, ONNX, Replit
- QA and Testing: Selenium, Cypress, Jenkins, GitLab, JMeter, OWASP ZAP, Testim, Mabl
What are the best software development companies in 2026?
The best software development companies in 2026 are:
What questions should I ask before hiring a software development company?
Before hiring a software development company, ask:
- Have you built similar software before?
- Which technologies will you use?
- Who will work on my project?
- What is included in the scope?
- How long will development take?
- How do you handle testing and security?
- Do you provide support after launch?
How do I reduce the risk of hiring the wrong software development company?
Check the company’s exit terms and review cadence before comparing prices. Short notice periods and frequent demos give you more opportunities to spot problems and change direction early. For example, Designli uses biweekly demos, offers a refundable first 14 days, and allows clients to cancel with 30 days’ notice.
