Head of Product strategy (Mobility & Islamic Banking) at AutoSoft Dynamics Pvt Ltd
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.

Developer at a tech company with 51-200 employees
Best mobile application framework for an enterprise application containing a large number of views with lots of components, but a little sluggish performance on android platforms.
* Scrolling needs some serious tweaking, specifically for android. There is a huge time lag while scrolling through a list. * Lacks full access to native hardware, but if you want access to more hardware then you will have to combine your sencha application with PhoneGap. * No support for blackberry. The sencha sdk beta tools provide support for native packaging for only android and iOS (even their team says they haven't tested much on blackberry). * It's still in its developing phase and may take a while for it to fully mature. * Animations run slower. * No support for windows phone as well.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"Two of the very fascinating features that make SAP Mobile Platform stand out from other platforms are its offline capability and integration capability."
"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."
"Two of the very fascinating features that make SAP Mobile Platform stand out from other platforms are its offline capability and integration capability."
"If we work with the mobile extension of the ERP platform, we save time."
"The initial setup is not overly complex."
"Both platforms, the SAP Mobile Platform, and SAP, are highly valuable for our company because they facilitate integration, which can be expensive. It's very convenient to connect and create billing accounts through the SAP Mobile Platform."
"The platform independence is great; I can use it across mobile devices, it's stable, and technical support is helpful."
"I would highly recommend sencha mobile application frameworks for either cross platform or standalone web apps."
 

Cons

"If I have to go for hybrid development, it is still too complex of development, per se."
"The licensing model is a bit dated."
"SAP has announced that they'll be ending the support on the SAP platform."
"Installation is extremely painful."
"If it was low code or no code it would be ideal."
"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."
"The licensing model is a bit dated."
"The only issue arose when SAP actually marked it as end-of-support. Otherwise, as a platform, it was fantastic."
"Scrolling needs some serious tweaking, specifically for android. There is a huge time lag while scrolling through a list."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The tool is expensive. I rate the tool's price as an eight or nine out of ten."
"The cost of SAP is extremely high, and it's not affordable for everyone."
"If you already paying for an SAP license and have SAP products that you are using, the price for SAP Mobile Platform is negligible."
