Streamlines development of hybrid applications, and has ability to integrate device-native code

It was a cakewalk for us to develop mobile apps for three different platforms using IBM MobileFirst. Since it was a consumer application built for large-scale events, it was very crucial for us to manage application compatibility with all sort of devices. With MobielFirst, we could actually achieve this with very little trouble. With help of this product, we have been able to develop mobile applications without having complete knowledge of each mobile OS's native programming. App development, delivery, and code management have been very efficient using this product.

Oracle Autonomous Mobile Cloud Enterprise: Deliver Mobile Apps faster using inbuilt features

Valuable features include: * Built-in platform APIs for configuring push notifications. * APIs to generate custom analytics events. * Connectors that can be used to connect to various enterprise backends and third-party systems. Now they have rolled out Oracle Autonomous Mobile Cloud Enterprise which also helps us to develop chatbots. We have implemented Facebook Channel enabled Chatbots using AMCe that allows to interact with Oracle EBS modules like HRMS. Here user can interact with chatbots to get the details about approved leaves, available leaves & also have the provision to apply leave. For one of our major clients, we wrote custom APIs in Oracle Autonomous Mobile Cloud to convert SOAP APIs to REST APIs. We were also able to integrate SSO functionality in their mobile application using Virtual Zero Footprint SSO. Oracle Autonomous Mobile Cloud has a built in token exchange endpoint that allows to generate SSO tokens using third party JWT or SAML tokens. We have also implemented Browser Based SSO in some of our client mobile applications.

"With help of this product, we have been able to develop mobile applications without having complete knowledge of each mobile OS's native programming technology, and app development, delivery, and code management have been very efficient using this product."

"IBM MobileFirst has one of the most feature-rich admin panels."

"The hybrid framework and drag/drop features are the most valuable."

"Oracle MAF allows deployment of a mobile app to both Android and iOS, with one code base and one programming language, which actually simplifies development and makes it pretty easy for a developer to build an app from scratch."

"The MAF mobile extensions we have built for an ERP in the construction industry have brought huge added-value to users in the field."

"Oracle Autonomous Mobile Cloud Service helps us to deliver the application much more quickly, as it comes with built-in platform APIs for storage, push notifications, analytics, etc."

Cons

"I would like to see improved support for native device functions."

"There are issues with push notifications, especially for Windows mobile apps. JSONStore also crashes abruptly at times."

"A few times, what we encountered is that when we need some things to be patched, or some security bugs, they are not available on time."

"Due to the issue in performance, Oracle MAF was used as a second solution with React Native as the main one."

"As Oracle MAF is a heavy product, it doesn’t allow much space to convince customers to go with the product suite."

"From my point of view, it would be desirable if Swagger would also be supported as a valid description format for custom APIs."

"The license is not suitable for small to mid-level clients. I consider the license prices too expensive and Oracle MAF does not offer something new that other free frameworks offer."

"There are some stability issues with the framework, some bugs can cause the mobile application to crash, and there are other visual bugs as well."

"Forums and groups are not very active, and we were not able to find answers for our queries by searching documentation."

"It needs more native capabilities built into the platform, and alert messages without the need for plugins."

More Oracle Autonomous Mobile Cloud Enterprise cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Cost depends upon various factors. Size of the overall application and product usage matter a lot. For an enterprise-grade application, this certainly comes out as an economical solution. However, for small-scale applications, it can turn out to be on the higher side."
