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 Near Field Communication feature is its most valuable feature."
"Android is an open mobile device platform, and many vendors are migrating to use it; hence it holds the future for the mobile market."
"Best SDK"
"The IDE is easy to use and has a ton of APIs that allow you to tie into Google's large base of services offered."
"Android SDK is very scalable, secure, and fast...It is a completely stable solution that has been working for many years."
"Android SDK's best feature is its ease of use."
"The best thing about Android SDK is that it supports a lot of devices."
"The most valuable features of Temenos Quantum are user-friendliness and customizability."
"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."
"The main benefit lies in its exceptional speed of implementation."
"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."
"We can use a single channel to create an interface for iOS, Android, and other channels."
"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."
"You can do rapid development across multiple platforms.​"
"With the new VM releases, it is a faster product with more abilities that benefit the user."
 

Cons

"Much more work and knowledge involved."
"The development environment of Android SDK could improve."
"UI needs to improve, I feel since I come from a Microsoft RAD developer environment."
"Emulators are slow, especially the ones above API level 12 (Tablets and ICS). Slow emulators can really hinder the process of development."
"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."
"Google has a monopoly on tools for Android app development, so Android SDK is the only choice available."
"Having the applications coded in Java is also a con, because Java can be annoying to code in sometimes."
"Android SDK could use some new features, for example, picture-in-picture."
"The UI lacks flexibility, especially regarding customizations. There are numerous issues at the fabric end, and working with the visualizer is extremely challenging. Basic development tasks require a high-end machine, and even clicking on an icon initiates a thirty-second processing time. The challenges mainly revolve around fabric and content."
"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."
"We would like to have widgets for graphs and analytics, as well as the integration of machine learning."
"They need to improve their tech support's abilities. They do have a good tech support, but it still requires improvement."
"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."
"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 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."
"In terms of technical support, I think that they are lacking."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Many countries, even those with fewer resources, prefer using Android SDK because it is cheap."
"Android SDK is essentially an open-source product on which anybody can work."
"It is an open-source platform."
"I am using the free version of Android SDK."
"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."
"​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."
"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."
"It is expensive solution."
