Featured Reviews

Zain Omer - PeerSpot reviewer
Software Engineer (Kony-Temenos | Android) at Xpert Digital
A stable and scalable product that offers ease of coding and designing to build applications
There isn't a need for any improvement in Android SDK since they provide users with two or three updates in a year, making it quite stable. The security part in Android SDK depends on how you build an application using the tool so you can apply some security to your application. The reason why Temenos Quantum is the best security tool is because it uses a middleware named Fabric, so the APIs are connected from Fabric to Temenos Quantum. The middleware offered by Temenos is really strong. If I compare the security offered by Android to that of Temenos Quantum, Android will lose in terms of security. You can create a secure application with Android SDK. The amount of security offered by Android SDK is less when compared to Temenos, making it an area of concern where improvement can be made. I don't think Android SDK needs to add any features because they give updates frequently.

Though a secure tool for building applications, there is a need to improve its stability
There is a lot of room for improvement in Temenos Quantum. Temenos Quantum is not quite stable yet. Improvements can be made to make Temenos Quantum stable. Improvements are needed in the solution, considering how my company needs to raise a lot of tickets with the technical support team of Temenos for some basic issues every time. There are some features in Temenos Quantum that I want to be stabilized by Temenos, just like in Android Studio and Xcode. Building an application using Temenos Quantum is not difficult, but my company needs to seek some support for the solution all the time.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Considering those benefits, such as built-in emulators and smoother debugging, I have noticed specific outcomes such as faster release cycles and fewer bugs."
"The look, ease of use, sturdiness, and reliability are excellent."
"Applications built with Android SDK can run on a large number of devices from various vendors and are not restricted to a particular vendor"
"It is a fantastic platform for the development of native applications, and the look, ease of use, sturdiness, and reliability are excellent."
"Android is an open mobile device platform, and many vendors are migrating to use it; hence it holds the future for the mobile market."
"A very good mobile app development platform with support for developing on various platforms like Wiindows, Linux, Mac, etc."
"Supports mobile and IOT devices."
"The best thing about Android SDK is its extensive graphics compared to iOS."
"It is an important solution for reducing the development efforts by developing a mobile application efficiently, in a shorter period of time, across multiple platforms, such as Android and iOS."
"Overall, Kony is the best mobile platform on Gartner, where it has been at the top for the last seven years."
"With the new VM releases, it is a faster product with more abilities that benefit the user."
"The initial setup of Temenos Quantum was easy."
"It is a single platform that can cater to mobile and web development requirements, making it convenient for businesses looking to transition into the digital space."
"I like the complete, professional social site."
"The best feature is the Kony Studio, which is the product that is used to develop interfaces."
"The best thing about Temenos Quantum is how it smoothly connects with Temenos Fabric. This simplifies our quantum application by handling identity, authentication, and security tasks seamlessly, saving us from extra coding."
 

Cons

"The development environment of Android SDK could improve."
"Having the applications coded in Java is also a con, because Java can be annoying to code in sometimes."
"The security implementation is the only area of concern in Android SDK where a bit of enhancements can help."
"Google has a monopoly on tools for Android app development, so Android SDK is the only choice available."
"It is an excellent solution, and it would be nice to get fewer updates."
"There are security issues in the Android platform, so it is more vulnerable to attack."
"The simulator comes up pretty slow. In the real time agile environment the simulator is not efficient to launch quickly and has some drawback in receiving the push notification."
"UI needs to improve, I feel since I come from a Microsoft RAD developer environment."
"The product needs more native features."
"Some features are only enabled for paid users. It would be much better if they enabled those features without having to pay."
"When developing our application, we also encountered certain issues related to delays and time-consuming builds."
"The security and the interface technology could be better in Temenos Quantum. Additionally, a module that can display all the activities that have been done in the system would be helpful."
"There are many issues when integrating with native sides when building an Android application of the retail accelerator or an iOS application of the retail actuator. We have to incorporate on the native side of things, which creates a lot of issues. Temenos Quantum is a proprietary product and not open source. There is not much information available on the internet for developers to reference when solving issues. You have to contact the help desk, who will then give you an appointment and work to resolve the issue. In terms of what Temenos can do better, they can make the product more mature so that we do not encounter as many black holes when encountering an issue."
"There is definitely room for improvement, especially in the areas of AI, AR, and DR for mobile and web applications"
"Some features are only enabled for paid users. It would be much better if they enabled those features without having to pay. I would also like to see them publish information about future technologies on the Home screen under a separate tab. That would be an improvement."
"In terms of technical support, I think that they are lacking."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Android SDK can be cheap and can go high in terms of prices, and it all depends on who the customers are and what kind of application you want. One application may cost 5,000 USD and can go up from 1,00,000 to 2,00,000 USD."
"Android SDK is essentially an open-source product on which anybody can work."
"It is an open-source platform."
"Many countries, even those with fewer resources, prefer using Android SDK because it is cheap."
"I am using the free version of Android SDK."
"It is expensive solution."
"Temenos Quantum is an expensive tool. Taking into consideration my company's use of Temenos Quantum for a bank, the costs attached to the solution ranged from 3,00,000 to 5,00,000 USD for building one application for the bank."
"​The price is too high. The annual cost for the Kony license is very high. Every year you have to renew it in order to maintain it​"
"This is an expensive solution, and it is the biggest challenge that we face when we present this platform to customers."
"The product is expensive. First, they must purchase the product, and then pay an annual renewal fee. The renewal fee depends on the product details and the license term’s length. Clients can buy licenses for five or ten years and pay for them upfront, or they can set up a yearly renewal cycle."
