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

"No doubt about the customer service its always great."
"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."
"The best thing about Android SDK is its extensive graphics compared to iOS."
"It is a fantastic platform for the development of native applications, and the look, ease of use, sturdiness, and reliability are excellent."
"A very good mobile app development platform with support for developing on various platforms like Wiindows, Linux, Mac, etc."
"I have found the functions related to the services to the community for applications to be the most valuable."
"Android SDK is very scalable, secure, and fast...It is a completely stable solution that has been working for many years."
"Although iPhone offers a lot of development tools, the freedom offered by Android is virtually unmatched."
"Overall, Kony is the best mobile platform on Gartner, where it has been at the top for the last seven years."
"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 visualizer and API manager are super useful. It's easy to create applications for the agent. Automations and other complex tasks can be hard, but it's mostly straightforward. You can create forms and populate tables."
"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 initial setup of Temenos Quantum was easy."
"Its greatest advantage lies in its exceptional security and robustness."
"The main benefit lies in its exceptional speed of implementation."
 

Cons

"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."
"Applications need to be developed from scratch, so it is not suitable for huge applications, such as games."
"Having the applications coded in Java is also a con, because Java can be annoying to code in sometimes."
"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."
"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."
"The security implementation is the only area of concern in Android SDK where a bit of enhancements can help."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"When developing our application, we also encountered certain issues related to delays and time-consuming builds."
"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"
"The product needs more native features."
"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."
 

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."
"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."
"I am using the free version of Android SDK."
"It is an open-source platform."
"It is expensive solution."
"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."
"​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."
"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."
