Great user acceptance and reliability, multiple teams not required, with prompt customer service
As a developer, I would say one of the improvements is more plugins. More plugins give you the ability to do more interactions with the framework over the library. As a user, I would say more flexibility in terms of look and feel. So far Ionic is very fluid. You might not really know, it is web-based technology. I know recently it has gone through a lot of updates, but it can also be improved and become stronger. Ionic allows you to get the best customization ever, but there is nothing like having more. The more customization you get, the easier it is for you to be able to build more quality apps.

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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"For us, it is our platform of choice for most of our mobile app product development and the default choice for our company because working on the platform has been very good."
"The main value of this solution for our business, is that it is a hybrid product that allows us to write code that is compatible with IOS, Android, and web documents."
"The solution is secure, reliable, and packed with features so we can easily implement apps even in the most complex situations."
"The solution can support many languages."
"For a web developer who experiences web development like HTML, CSS, bootstrap, or any JavaScript framework, Ionic is used and it is great for those developers to develop mobile applications for Android, iOS, and PWA."
"The most valuable feature of Ionic is the ease of use and the simple connection of the applications. Additionally, the documentation is good in the Ionic application, and beginners can easily learn and download their own application using Ionic. Everyone can easily switch out, their domain, from native applications to hybrid applications."
"Ionic is the best solution I have used of its kind."
"Being able to have one set of code is valuable. I don't have to recode for different platforms. I don't have to recode for Xcode, Angular, or Android. So, the biggest feature for me is that it's a hybrid system, and I can have one set of code, and then the tool sets that are in there convert my code for Xcode or Play Store. It makes work a lot easier."
"Since Oracle MAF consumes REST WebServices, it was pretty fast to build, deploy and consume our existing Oracle ADF applications based on ADF-BC into our native mobile app based on the hybrid model."
"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."
"It's a very powerful way of moving forward."
"Oracle MCS is more than just a Mobile Backend as a Service (MBaaS) solution."
"Very easy to use and start building apps for people with an Oracle ADF background."
"I would highly recommend Oracle MAF as it is: Single Platform – It handles end-to-end life cycle for enterprise mobility solutions."
"We feel like, as an internet company, we try to achieve 99.99% availability of our website for all users, and since we get fewer bounces in the system, it does provide reliability and availability for the website."
"Our Java developers can now build mobile apps for all platforms at once."
 

Cons

"In a future release, we would like to have a little more support for the desktop environment. Currently it is still focused on mobile devices."
"Ionic is a cross-platform framework, so when we compare Ionic with native Android and iOS, we can see the drawbacks."
"As a developer, I would say one of the improvements is more plugins."
"There is a lack of a community environment, and the solution lacks developer opinions."
"Ionic could improve in the Native mode because while we do testing it is difficult to find the root cause of problems. It could be more user-friendly."
"It would be good if the mobile version uses something other than JavaScript and HTML."
"Documentation for migrations and compatibility is insufficient."
"Ionic's UI component doesn't always look like the native mobile app."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"It needs more native capabilities built into the platform, and alert messages without the need for plugins."
"The performance of animations could be faster. Also, the applications archive is quite big and could be better."
"One of the key areas in which MCS needs improvement is documentation. New features, like Zero Footprint SSO, need better documentation with detailed integration steps."
"Forums and groups are not very active, and we were not able to find answers for our queries by searching documentation."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"You can use the free version, but if you still want to buy it, the price starts from $499/month."
"You don't have to pay anything except for certain projects. For example, Appflow has some costs related to it but you don't have to use it. You can also pay for extra support."
"We pay 50,000 dinars per month."
"I think most of the plugins for Ionic are open source, and you can do a lot with many of the basic features. However, if you need to use a premium plugin for something like extra scroll list functionality, Ionic will ask for a certain sum of money."
"Ionic is an open-source solution, it is free."
"The starting cost for the enterprise option is around one hundred dollars per month."
"Ionic is an open source solution, and there are no hidden fees."
"The solution's open source option is free with no licensing fees."
