Never HIRE this company for your project! Stay Away!
This is a terrible company! All they care about is the money. They will use all methods possible to delay your project and use tricks to get your payment! I have two projects undergoing by this company. What a terrible mistake! The project manager, the vice president, the delivery manager, all work together to get money from us while not delivering any real work!! Stay away from this company!! Never work with this company, otherwise, your project will be delayed not by months, but by years!! And you still will have no idea if the project will be completed or not after years of delay!! STAY AWAY!!
All the other 5 star ratings are written by Xicom Tech itself!! Don't trust those fake ratings or comments!!

Cheaters In The Market
They will show you a great lucrative offer, but in reality they are one of the most cunning people. Their project managers don't know about concept and are very much arrogant. They don't give respect to their client's work once they receive payment. They will keep saying one thing that it will take one more day and one more day. This is ridiculous, even worst. Don't believe them at all otherwise you will feel cheated. The brand value of Xicom Technologies is in downfall and it is decreasing day by day, but the CEO is sleeping in his own luxurious life.

Xicom is an unreliable and fraudulent company
We worked with Xicom.biz and paid them tens of thousands of dollars. Suddenly in November 2014 they stopped keeping their promises on development. We continued to pay for services that were not being delivered, so we eventually cut them off. Our project is now a full year behind.
Note that Xicom requests you give them 5 star rating on Upwork/Elance feedback, and other online platforms and also has their staff write fake positive reviews, so don't trust the reviews anywhere.
We have set up a site at xicom-sucks.com to detail the fraud perpetrated against us and the results of pending litigation.
If you have similar issues, feel free to contact us.

Edit: November 25, 2015
Xicom's response below is chock full of lies and defamation which will be taken into consideration during litigation.
Xicom cannot substantiate any of the claims they're making here but proof of our claims will be provided on xicom-sucks.com In fact Xicom always referred to us as an exemplary client, one of their largest, and any work Xicom performed on our behalf was agreed to by both parties.
Last week Xicom offered us a $2500 refund for their misdeeds. We did not accept the offer, considering the damage they did to our business. As a result, they're here making false claims.
Let's look at each claim for their credibility:
1) "We started this project by taking a knowledge transfer from an another reputed company. During the transfer, they clearly told us about the same experience they had with this client"
Xicom worked with us since January 2013. If we were terrible clients, they would have ended the relationship soon. It was WE who told Xicom we don't want to work with THEM any longer and cut ties.
Xicom claims our project has been worked on for 10 years when we launched the project only 6 years ago. We've worked with two companies on the project in total - Xicom and a company located in Ukraine for 4 years that had to stop development due to changes in regulations surrounding adult content in their country.
"Shaun is not at all technical and never tries to understand even the basic technicalities behind the project. He is very rude in his communication and always says, THIS IS REQUIRED AND NEEDS TO BE ACHIEVED BY WHATSOEVER METHOD. IF YOU NEED TO CHANGE THE CODE, CHANGE IT. I HAVE PAID FOR THE SAME."
On various occasions, Xicom was unable to resolve serious issues affecting the project. We had to investigate ourselves and instruct Xicom on the technicalities behind the problems in their code setup. Even our web hosting staff at Mojohost, had to inform Xicom of the errors in their approach.
We have never made a demand like the sentence capitalized in Xicom's response. We did ask for and pay for an overhaul of our flash chat feature and Xicom agreed to do it without telling us that they have no flash developers. They resorted to trying to use candychat to replace our custom script.
2) Contract Breach
If a client is in breach of contract and is a poor client, Xicom would dissociate from them. They didn't, because we were never in breach of contract, and Xicom was happy to have us as a client.
3) Continuous Rework on the exiting modules
Xicom would replicate our competitor's features verbatim (though the features often did not work properly). We asked them not to do this and to instead improve on those features and develop new ones. Unbeknownst to us, apparently Xicom did not want to do this per their post here.
4) 24*7 Communication Support Threat
For critical issues such as site downtime, we would attempt to reach Xicom for assistance via Skype or their online site form. This is not uncommon for customers to do and certainly doesn't qualify as a "threat"?
5) Publishing Employees Personal Information from External Sources
Xicom believes they are above the law, however they're not and we are not afraid to air their dirty laundry.
We've been creating successful sites for over 15 years and have worked with very good companies and very bad ones. We're currently working with 2 very good companies that are repairing some of the damage Xicom has done to our project.
According to Chitvan, Xicom is a company in trouble - their employees are leaving for greener pastures. There are plenty of development companies to choose from - for employees and clients. Xicom shouldn't be one of them.

Camfuze (owned by Shaun Ferguson - S Ferguson , 2169061 ONTARIO INC). BEWARE OF THIS CLIENT.
Shaun is not at all technical and never tries to understand even the basic technicalities behind the project. He is very rude in his communication and always says, THIS IS REQUIRED AND NEEDS TO BE ACHIEVED BY WHATSOEVER METHOD. IF YOU NEED TO CHANGE THE CODE, CHANGE IT. I HAVE PAID FOR THE SAME. Initially things went OK with this client however, as the time passed he started to make excuses and demanded more work and moved us to a huge loss further to which we were forced to stop the work because as a contractor no one can bear losses beyond one stretching point.
We started this project by taking a knowledge transfer from an another reputed company, NIX Solutions. During the transfer, they clearly told us about the same experience they had with this client however, we ignored the same thinking that it is because that contractor was losing a project however, it was all the other way round. Contractor did not wanted to work with this client because of same reasons mentioned above.
It showcases a terrible work history with this client for all the contractors. The biggest proof can be derived from the fact that Shaun has been working on his project for last 10 years (as he told us) and no vendor has been able to succeed with his project and that’s purely because the unprofessional behaviour of client. The moment things start coming on track, this client starts destroying the motivation of team by giving negative feedback and also demanding night support in India time, shall call anytime over the wekends demading the work to be done now else I will sue you.
He has been a nightmare and we feel quite relaxed after handing him over his project.
1. Contract Breach
Client never followed the contract and instead asked for free support during weekends which was never a part of the contract. Also, he put us in the server side issues which which was never a part of our responsibility. Later on, client also indirectly told us to work on profit sharing basis irrespective of the efforts which our team put in.
2. Continuous Rework on the exiting modules
Client never asks for any documentation and simply instructs to copy the features from his competitor sites, when you exactly replicate it then he will say “We have to be different” and then the resources will keep working on those features endlessly. Features like Chatroom and photos/videos sell were continuously changed in regards to their functional flow and lead to a lot of rework on those modules and we were not paid anything for the additional efforts.
3. 24*7 Communication Support Threat
Regardless of whether it is outside our working hours or midnight in India, client keeps pinging on chat and keeps on providing updates. Even when we managed to provide him support outside our working hours, he kept us asking for updates.
4. Publishing Employees Personal Information from External Sources
As the above mentioned terms were not followed by us, so this client started taking out our personal information from social networking sites and threatening us to make it public.
SUGGESTION: No one works with this client and we know the new company to whom we have handed over the code. JUST BEWARE, you are the next target of his.

Stay away from Xicom
This is a real review of Xicom Technologies Ltd. (xicom.biz).
I aksed them to work on a specific software platform.
They said that know this platform, but this is not true.
In two word: "Stay away" from xicom!
First 40 hours (1000$) they used in "establishing" platform (this mean they install on localhost the software releated).
Usually an installation require 1 hour.
Then they ask me more 80 hours (2'000$) for start work.
I pay 2000$ on 15 Feb 2013 and today it's 20 March 2013 and they still have 60 mine hours.
They never inform you about progress, and in the fact you never know when they are worked on your project, there is not any progress or report of work.
I do not know really what to think. After citing all their boss is even worse! I do not answer even more.
I am a real customer, you can contact me on this email: [Private Data Removed] and I can proof my orders and all releated reply of this company.
I lost $ 3,000 in anything! but nothing! Do not make the same mistake. Now I found [External Link Removed] and I was surprised by the fact that they have reviewed all for free!
Shame that I found this post only after my order, but you have time for stop stay away from xicom:
