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

"I have found the functions related to the services to the community for applications to be the most valuable."
"Although iPhone offers a lot of development tools, the freedom offered by Android is virtually unmatched."
"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."
"The best thing about Android SDK is that it supports a lot of devices."
"Wide range of resources available (code, snippets, examples, samples, blogs...etc)."
"It is a fantastic platform for the development of native applications, and the look, ease of use, sturdiness, and reliability are excellent."
"Being an Android developer this SDK platform will continue to grow as the developer community invests in it."
"Overall, Kony is the best mobile platform on Gartner, where it has been at the top for the last seven years."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is usability. You can develop components inside it and reuse them in different parts of your application, wherever needed. You can replicate them. There's also a Quantum Fabric on the back end, which provides a middle layer between your database and the third-party systems you need to integrate. It also provides the integration to handle all sorts of exceptions and timeouts on the Fabric. This makes it easy to troubleshoot errors coming from third-party APIs."
"It helps us focus on continually improving our technology and keeping up with the latest developments."
"The main benefit lies in its exceptional speed of implementation."
"Its greatest advantage lies in its exceptional security and robustness."
"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."
"The best feature is the Kony Studio, which is the product that is used to develop interfaces."
 

Cons

"There are security issues in the Android platform, so it is more vulnerable to attack."
"It is an excellent solution, and it would be nice to get fewer updates."
"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."
"The development environment of Android SDK could improve."
"UI needs to improve, I feel since I come from a Microsoft RAD developer environment."
"Google has a monopoly on tools for Android app development, so Android SDK is the only choice available."
"We encounter compatibility issues between the product and the device from the manufacturer."
"Android SDK could use some new features, for example, picture-in-picture."
"Using the API manager can be complicated when you're dealing with multiple teams, projects, and APIs. Quantum doesn't have user-based access, so I can't restrict parts of the project to specific users."
"Temenos Quantum needs to improve its usability. It lacks information on the network. We have to contact the support when we are stuck with something."
"The technology of the solution needs an update. It is deficient in terms of connectivity."
"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."
"One area where Temenos Quantum could improve is in the flexibility of widgets and additional libraries."
"When developing our application, we also encountered certain issues related to delays and time-consuming builds."
"Some features are only enabled for paid users. It would be much better if they enabled those features without having to pay."
"We would like to have widgets for graphs and analytics, as well as the integration of machine learning."
 

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."
"I am using the free version of Android SDK."
"Many countries, even those with fewer resources, prefer using Android SDK because it is cheap."
"It is an open-source platform."
"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 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."
"It is expensive solution."
"This is an expensive solution, and it is the biggest challenge that we face when we present this platform to customers."
"​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​"
