A stable and easy-to-use product that provides seamless integration
The best thing about the product is that it provides seamless integration. I can use my Microsoft product on my iPhone, so it's good for work and personal use. I can use it across devices since it's synced up. AirDrop and iCloud are the most valuable features of the solution. The solution is easy to use.

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

"The apps developed using iOS SDK are known to be highly stable"
"I have been working on iOS and Android for more than a year now and I personally found iOS SDK to have more to offer than the Android SDK."
"The SDK is very stable."
"Applications developed through XCode are highly secure and stable"
"The iOS SDK is well documented, and generally allows for relatively easy creation of stable applications within the iOS ecosystem."
"This solution is a really easy and straightforward to use for development, and provides a lot of opportunities to test applications on a simulator before being released."
"The best thing about the product is that it provides seamless integration."
"This solution is a really easy and straightforward to use for development, and provides a lot of opportunities to test applications on a simulator before being released."
"Overall, Kony is the best mobile platform on Gartner, where it has been at the top for the last seven years."
"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."
"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 initial setup of Temenos Quantum was easy."
"The best feature is the Kony Studio, which is the product that is used to develop interfaces."
"We can use a single channel to create an interface for iOS, Android, and other channels."
"The main benefit lies in its exceptional speed of implementation."
 

Cons

"We would like to see more development and support for the AI features of this solution."
"The share password menu doesn’t come up easily when I want to share passwords between my devices."
"We would like to see more development and support for the AI features of this solution."
"My major con for this is that it's Mac specific; if you don't own an Apple computer, you can't (legally) develop for iOS, which is incredibly small minded of Apple."
"Objective C is different from C/C++ and is difficult to grasp for beginners."
"Built on a closed source operating system, so no flexibility to modify and extend the SDK"
"A Mac is required for developing. Development is strictly restricted to Mac."
"Only mac users can develop applications and games for iphone, and for ipod touch"
"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."
"Temenos Quantum is not quite stable yet."
"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."
"There is definitely room for improvement, especially in the areas of AI, AR, and DR for mobile and web applications"
"When developing our application, we also encountered certain issues related to delays and time-consuming builds."
"They need to improve their tech support's abilities. They do have a good tech support, but it still requires improvement."
"The security and the interface technology could be better in Temenos Quantum."
"One area where Temenos Quantum could improve is in the flexibility of widgets and additional libraries."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"This is an open-source solution, so there are no licensing costs involved in its use."
"The hardware is quite expensive."
"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."
"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."
"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​"
