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.

Software Engineer (Kony-Temenos | Android) at Xpert Digital
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

"Although iPhone offers a lot of development tools, the freedom offered by Android is virtually unmatched."
"Best SDK"
"Applications built with Android SDK can run on a large number of devices from various vendors and are not restricted to a particular vendor"
"Supports mobile and IOT devices."
"It is a fantastic platform for the development of native applications, and the look, ease of use, sturdiness, and reliability are excellent."
"Android SDK's best feature is its ease of use."
"Wide range of resources available (code, snippets, examples, samples, blogs...etc)."
"Android SDK is very scalable, secure, and fast...It is a completely stable solution that has been working for many years."
"Comparing other solutions with Temenos Quantum, the later is less mature and presents several issues. Implementing Temenos Quantum has been challenging, resembling a nightmare compared to the smoother experience with the other."
"You can build your own customized, native, mobile applications in an efficient matter."
"It helps us focus on continually improving our technology and keeping up with the latest developments."
"Its greatest advantage lies in its exceptional security and robustness."
"We can use a single channel to create an interface for iOS, Android, and other channels."
"With the new VM releases, it is a faster product with more abilities that benefit the user."
"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."
"The most valuable features of Temenos Quantum are user-friendliness and customizability."
 

Cons

"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."
"Applications need to be developed from scratch, so it is not suitable for huge applications, such as games."
"The development environment of Android SDK could improve."
"We encounter compatibility issues between the product and the device from the manufacturer."
"Google has a monopoly on tools for Android app development, so Android SDK is the only choice available."
"Emulators are slow, especially the ones above API level 12 (Tablets and ICS). Slow emulators can really hinder the process of development."
"Developing apps for tablets is comparatively difficult because the emulator is extremely slow."
"They need to improve their tech support's abilities. They do have a good tech support, but it still requires improvement."
"One area where Temenos Quantum could improve is in the flexibility of widgets and additional libraries."
"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."
"In terms of technical support, I think that they are lacking."
"We would like to have widgets for graphs and analytics, as well as the integration of machine learning."
"It would be highly beneficial if future iterations of Temenos could incorporate support for QR-based payment methods, as it would enhance the platform's capabilities and align it more closely with modern payment trends"
"There is definitely room for improvement, especially in the areas of AI, AR, and DR for mobile and web applications"
"Temenos Quantum is not quite stable yet."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Android SDK is essentially an open-source product on which anybody can work."
"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 an open-source platform."
"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."
"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."
"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​"
"It is expensive solution."
