My company needed a SaaS that would allow us to capture lead information and pass it along to EZLynx. XILO was presented to us as a referral partner by one of the many associates we spoke to during our onboarding with EZLynx.
The CEO of our company and myself participated in a demo with Eli Zaragoza, the Co-Founder and President of XILO in San Diego, CA (xilo.io). The demo itself was very quick - roughly 15 minutes. On the surface, their product appeared to be sufficient for the task at hand.
We ended up launching both XILO and EZLynx at the same time and it wasn't long before we discovered numerous issues with their software that made it inoperable to use.
1. The prospect page in the back end would not load data.
2. The API integration with EZLynx didn't work.
3. In my opinion, the form builder is one of the worst I have ever used. It would only work in very specific and unobvious ways, and they are aware of it.
4. The software isn't as customizable as they made it seem.
I submitted a notice to cancel on 9/7/2020 and requested a refund due to the fact that XILO wasn't working. I spoke with Eli Gonzalez, the Co-Founder of XILO that closed the sale, who informed me that despite our challenges with their software, we signed a year contract, and he refused to break it on principle.
An annual contract was news to me, as I was on the demo call, and was not made aware of it. But the Founder of our company was sent the contract to sign, and unfortunately did not notice the stipulation within the contract.
Despite acknowledging the challenges we faced with their platform, Eli was only interested in keeping our money, and essentially put the blame on his business partners, citing they "don't want to break the integrity of the contract." Knowing we even walked away from EZLynx because it too is unusable for our business model, they want us to pay for our contract in full.
In my opinion, XILO is a terrible solution for the insurance industry, and its leadership team has terrible business ethics. I would strongly recommend you think twice before proceeding with a company such as theirs.
