Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The role and attribute-based access control has been greatly improved.""The most valuable feature is its knowledge.""DirX Directory is the best feature of the product: a very fast, stable LDAP directory.""The solution offers high performance."

More Atos DirX Directory Pros →

"The ability to use the same development environment for both Windows and Android applications. Magic xpa also supports iOS applications.""The solution makes the managing and adapting of the software very easy.""The best feature of Magic is the development time. The time it takes to develop something is incredibly fast if you compare Magic with, for example, Java.""Magic’s Database Gateway allows the logic of the program to be isolated from the underlying database. This provides the flexibility not only to move existing programs to different database environments without the need to change the logic in the program but also allows the programmer access to different databases without the need to know how to "talk" to them.""The Magic xpa Application Platform is very suitable for production since it is easy to update. The program is simple to upgrade and deploy. The solution is convenient in production. You need to adjust the data, then adjust the program which is not difficult.""The speed of development is the quickest for any tool on the market.""Speed of development and database connectivity (MS SQL, Oracle, DB2, Btrieve/Pervasive PSQL, ODBC, MySql, and SQLite).""What I found most valuable in the Magic xpa Application Platform is that it has a client-server and web browser technology that's perfect for company users."

Cons
"The price could be better. It would be better if they developed a better endpoint solution in the next release.""The user interface could be more convenient for people that don't know the tool too intensively.""An overall modernization of the product is required in order to keep up with newer products.""Needs more available consultants and implementation partners.""The Self-Service Portal is old school and it lacks easy accessibility for users."

More Atos DirX Directory Cons →

"Magic has a tradition, when it adds new technologies/features to the Magic development tool, to provide either no documentation or documentation that does not provide an organized approach for bringing this new technology/feature to experienced Magic programmers.""The ability to display page up, page down, top and bottom buttons along the scroll bar would make my mouse-reliant customers happy.""I would like to see a spell checker included with optional language support. Currently, this has to be purchased from a third-party.""The user interface could be improved to be more friendly for developers.""Throughout my career, I've encountered difficulties when integrating new technologies with Magic xpa Application Platform. In particular, when attempting to incorporate features from other development languages into earlier versions of the solution called uniPaaS. I struggled to integrate .NET components due to the limited options available. This made the process more challenging and complicated. I find it challenging to create a more user-friendly experience for users who may be comparing the system to other systems they have used outside or within the company on different platforms.""The Android environment is missing a number of functions for file/folder manipulation, sending receiving text messages (SMS) and the menuing options are limited. For now, it is left to the developer to write his/her own Java functions to include in the APK.""The configuration of the xpa RIA mobile environment is complex and a discouragement to new developers. Also, Magic's documentation can be less than complete at times which leads to frustration for new developers. (I encourage new Magic developers to join the Magic Users Group).""Support is very bad."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "Magic is not the cheapest IDE out there. If you are considering Magic xpa, you should do a cost-benefit analysis to feel comfortable with your decision. The Magic sales staff is very helpful in providing pricing."
  • "It's not cheap. The licenses are not cheap. Not at all. They cost much money. There are other tools with free licenses but Magic asks for a lot of money."
  • "The cost for developers is high because you have to pay for licenses as well as runtime."
  • "The licensing is too costly."
  • "My clients have to purchase additional licenses in order to use what I built. It's not a fair approach."
  • "There are different licenses, we have the application and the online application. There are two different licenses for two different program sites for the Magic xpa Application Platform."
  • "The main problem with the Magic xpa Application Platform is pricing. You have to pay a lot of money for development, and you also have to pay a lot for the deployments and runtime, while in most competitors, you have to pay a lot for one of the two and not both."
  • "The licensing cost varies because nowadays Magic has tailor-made offerings for clients. I think the solution is worth the money."
