Luis Gerardo Meneses Hernandez - PeerSpot reviewer
Allows for direct interaction with an application's DOM but complex configuration
What I like about Appium right now is that it's like Cypress in the sense that I can get to the new DOM of the application and select the components and create the functions to test the components in the way I want them to be tested. That's why I like it right now.
Zain Omer - PeerSpot reviewer
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

"Appium helps me to do as much as much as I want to."
"Appium's best feature is that it supports multiple frameworks."
"The solution helps with test automation. We focus mostly on Java."
"It's an open-source solution with a very large community and available documentation."
"It has great documentation and excellent community support."
"Appium's wide support of programming languages is valuable."
"The solution is easy to use."
"The best feature of Appium is that it allows you to inspect the element. With the Appium Inspector, you don't have to install another application to do the inspection. I also like that Appium has Android device connectivity. Currently, most people use Appium as automation software, and I haven't found any other tool that's more powerful than Appium."
"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."
"Its greatest advantage lies in its exceptional security and robustness."
"With the new VM releases, it is a faster product with more abilities that benefit the user."
"You can do rapid development across multiple platforms.​"
"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 most valuable features of Temenos Quantum are user-friendliness and customizability."
"The initial setup of Temenos Quantum was easy."
"The main benefit lies in its exceptional speed of implementation."
 

Cons

"The installation part of Appium is somewhat clumsy, requiring numerous dependencies and configurations."
"We need some bug fixes for nested elements."
"Configuration-wise, there is a lot of room for improvement."
"Configuring the project to be used in Appium is a little bit tedious."
"The user interface needs improvement because there are issues when setting up environment variables."
"Appium could improve by enabling record and run techniques similar to what they have in other licensing tools, such as Micro Focus. We have to all write the code, and then we can proceed."
"The initial setup is straightforward if you have previous experience with the solution, but it can be complicated for a novice user."
"Stability is an area that needs some improvement."
"One area where Temenos Quantum could improve is in the flexibility of widgets and additional libraries."
"There is definitely room for improvement, especially in the areas of AI, AR, and DR for mobile and web applications"
"We would like to have widgets for graphs and analytics, as well as the integration of machine learning."
"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."
"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."
"When developing our application, we also encountered certain issues related to delays and time-consuming builds."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's open source, so it's completely free."
"Appian is open-source, which is not licensed."
"The solution is open-source."
"It's completely 100% free, and there are no hidden fees."
"Appium is open source; we can use it for free."
"The pricing of Appium is fine."
"The solution is open source."
"The solution is free."
"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."
"It is expensive solution."
"​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​"
"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."
