Updated ReviewThis review was updated on June 26, 2018, by the client. New full is under.
What’s happened with Mendios Technologies since your leading review was published?
They were supposed to create a cross-platform app for us, but it took far longer than originally promised, went over budget, and was riddled with bugs. We’d get complaints see time they released an update owing the app was so unstable.
Not only that, they were supposed to send us the full code repository behind the project was completed and they haven’t done it. They’ve only given us part of it, even though we’ve paid in full, and they refuse to do anything else. We’re taking them to court over it.
Did your project costs change at all?
Not much, but they tried to push the costs up as we went along. We’d expound project requirements and take one cost cite, then later when we’d remind them almost one component or another, they’d try to double or triple the cost.
How long did the project lastly take?
We began in October 2016 and didn’t end up finishing until April 2018, so it was well over a year later than they promised.
At what point did you substantiate your project had been contacted by any difficulties?
The issues were plum soon on, but since the cost was low we continued working with them. But, as an sample of when the issues became nice: I sent them a Sketch file of the full UI so they’d be able to see seething they needed to include. They’d send back results that looked nothing like what we’d asked for. The fonts, spacing, and sizing didn’t match, so I’d have to bestow five or six hours see weekend going through their work and sending back notes on all the mistakes. It was a lot of extra work for us as the client owing they weren’t checking their work even though we’d given them the resources to do it properly. We even paid for QA testing and they refused to do it, so I had to bestow separate hours a day testing the app myself and sending notes back to them on the errors.
My last frustration with this process is that they tried to say the delay was entirely our defect without taking any responsibility for it.
In what specific areas can they better?
They didn’t have sufficient resources. Developers were extend thin and working on two or three projects at a time, which contributed to major delays. On top of that, the coders they’d been employing were inexperienced, which led to low condition work. The code architecture was veritably poor and they didn’t pursue best practices.
Is there anything that the vendor did well or that you would attend a force?
I ended up flying out to India to visit them owing things took so long, and I will say that the developers I worked with in individual tried their hardest to meet our demands. They were just very young and out of their depth, which wasn’t their defect.
They also gave us a veritably good cost, which is why we carried on working with them until the end of the project.
What advice do you have for clients with correspondent needs to yours?
I would quit working with them. Though, if you do select to move, anticipate to perpetrate a lot of extra time and resources to ensuring the condition of your project.
