Makes it easy to build cross-platform with cloud-based, one-click app build system

Have faced challenges continuing use due to support discontinuation despite past effectiveness
There was no reporting functionality in the version we used. It all had to be done by another BI or reporting platform, so we used to actually migrate data from SAP Mobile Platform to that platform. Inherently, that product at that time had no reporting capabilities. It had to be done through some other platform. The only issue arose when SAP actually marked it as end-of-support. Otherwise, as a platform, it was fantastic. I don't think there was any major concern we had with the product itself. But when you mark any platform as end-of-support and we, being the OEM partners, it definitely created significant challenges for us.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"This product is a powerful, cross-platform application development platform."
"One of the main advantages I look for with titanium is its cross platform development (iPhone, iPad, iPod, Android, Windows, Linux and OS X)."
"Enables me to use the same web technology to develop cross-platform native apps. The cloud-based one-click app build system is a valuable feature as well."
"It is easy to create builds and distribution is very easy."
"I found Axway Appcelerator packed with awesome features, that it was easy to learn and easy to build cross-platform."
"Technical support is helpful."
"The platform independence is great; I can use it across mobile devices, it's stable, and technical support is helpful."
"If we work with the mobile extension of the ERP platform, we save time."
"Two of the very fascinating features that make SAP Mobile Platform stand out from other platforms are its offline capability and integration capability."
"SAP's Mobile Platform has a lot of technical features, however, the way they have written the transaction processing is really smart and we're using it very successfully in terms of scalability and in terms of stability."
"It's not that difficult to set up."
"Ericsson is still working in Pakistan, running one of the biggest mobile wallet platforms in the country, and if SAP hadn't marked it as end-of-life, we could have penetrated this market for at least two to three more customers."
"Solid development platform that allows you to automate functions from different backend systems."
 

Cons

"It would be awesome if they would work on improving the speed of the app building process."
"Titanium Studio, provided for development on titanium, happens to ignore changes while building and at times it stops printing console messages, so that every time you have to test your code, you have to clean your project."
"Scalability is not so good if you have a complex UX."
"It has hung many times during login and use. Also, it needs a little enhancing for debugging for Android apps."
"Unlike PhoneGap Titanium, this product relies heavily on the existing Android ADK or iOS SDKs."
"One drawback is that SAP Mobile Platform apps are only available through the browser, making offline capability more challenging to implement."
"The only issue arose when SAP actually marked it as end-of-support. Otherwise, as a platform, it was fantastic."
"If I have to go for hybrid development, it is still too complex of development, per se."
"The tool is not easy or simple to integrate with other infrastructures."
"We don't have wider reporting capabilities within mobile services. There is some reporting functionality, which I would classify as very basic, just to indicate how many devices are being connected, but it's not that comprehensive in terms of reporting."
"Installation is extremely painful."
"The cost of the SAP Mobile Platform is high, and there is room for improvement in its pricing."
"If it was low code or no code it would be ideal."
