We performed a comparison between Ionic and Salesforce Platform based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Mobile Development Platforms solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."With the Capacitor feature, you have access to the native attributes of your phone such as your camera. This makes work a lot easier."
"The solution can support many languages."
"The most valuable feature is the one code deployed to all solutions, which means you do not need to have multiple teams."
"Ionic is easy to upgrade and is helpful for design purposes. It also is quite common and easy to use. It is a very reliable application. It's easy to write on and print. The UI is easy to use as well. My organization chose to go with Ionic because we can access both Android and iOS applications."
"Ionic's best features are its hybrid app development, design, and tags."
"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."
"Ionic's best feature is that it's not necessary to write your own custom codes as all the hybrid is provided by Angular."
"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."
"When compared to Siebel, the Salesforce Platform is easier to use."
"Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten...I rate Salesforce Platform's technical support a ten out of ten."
"It's very flexible and offers tremendous features for customers."
"The reporting tools are very solid."
"I found the ease of use most valuable in the Salesforce Platform. I also found the platform pretty light."
"Salesforce is the best one out there."
"The standard sales and marketing tools that Salesforce provides on the platform are the most valuable."
"The most valuable features are quick customization, solid deployment processes, and excellent reliability."
"Ionic would be improved with dynamic design features."
"There could be better support for augmented reality and other things. Geolocation and background app activity are some of the things that are a little more clumsy at the moment and could be improved."
"The navigation within this solution could be improved; it is currently quite complicated to move through the different tabs."
"As a developer, I would say one of the improvements is more plugins."
"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."
"There is a lack of a community environment."
"Ionic's UI component doesn't always look like the native mobile app."
"They started writing Capacitor to get rid of PhoneGap and Cordova, but they haven't yet got all the libraries and all the functionalities. They want you to start using Capacitor, but they don't have all the libraries there. They're developing them as they go. So, currently, you have to mix and match the three. When it comes to mobile applications, I would only like to use Capacitor. I don't want to jump between Cordova and Capacitor or have both of them. That's the main thing for me, but they have been working on it."
"Instead of creating our own template, if we had some nice templates that we could pick up - if there were some Microsoft Word templates or Microsoft Excel templates in a repository in Salesforce, that would be great."
"Its documentation and price should be better."
"They need an easy way of getting details and then adding to it and then being able to do it in a more simplified way"
"The solution offers upgrades at a slower pace. The solution needs to keep up with competitors."
"When we're documenting information such as notes, and so forth, if we were to go back to the same case all notes go missing."
"This platform is indeed on the expensive side."
"The cost of data storage is an issue once the company grows."
"They should provide access to data quality tips and tricks to make it better."
