Comprehensive, easy to use, and many tutorials are available to help learn and perfect your techniques
The size of the software is large when installed and would be ideal if it would be smaller for computers with limited hard drive space. However, this is needed for all the available tools and abilities the full suite offers. Lastly, it would be great to have more preset brushes in Photoshop and some of the other products. It is always fun playing around with them but I am happy with the dozens they already have. With everything considered, it is hard to find faults with such a good product. Adobe has a lot of different but similar software products that can be confusing to understand which one to use and for what task. Not everyone has the ability to use every piece of their software to determine what is best for their needs. Allowing for trial versions would be a great way around this.

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

"Customer service is excellent."
"The suite is one of the most widely used in the world and because of this, there are plenty of tutorials on how to do almost anything."
"There is truly no full package comparable to the Adobe Creative Suite."
"One valuable feature of SAP Mobile Platform is its enterprise-grade standard and maintained APIs, available out of the box for easy integration with various systems."
"Two of the very fascinating features that make SAP Mobile Platform stand out from other platforms are its offline capability and integration capability."
"Solid development platform that allows you to automate functions from different backend systems."
"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."
"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."
"If we work with the mobile extension of the ERP platform, we save time."
"It's not that difficult to set up."
"It's a wonderful solution from a design perspective and from a scalability perspective."
 

Cons

"The size of the software is large when installed and would be ideal if it would be smaller for computers with limited hard drive space."
"Icon creation for iPhone and Android for all resolutions is missing in Photoshop."
"The tool is not easy or simple to integrate with other infrastructures."
"One drawback is that SAP Mobile Platform apps are only available through the browser, making offline capability more challenging to implement."
"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."
"If it was low code or no code it would be ideal."
"Installation is extremely painful."
"The cost of the SAP Mobile Platform is high, and there is room for improvement in its pricing."
"The only issue arose when SAP actually marked it as end-of-support. Otherwise, as a platform, it was fantastic."
"The licensing model is a bit dated."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product could be a bit cheaper to attract younger audiences but on the other hand, you do get a full professional package to create to your mind's content."
"The tool is expensive. I rate the tool's price as an eight or nine out of ten."
"If you already paying for an SAP license and have SAP products that you are using, the price for SAP Mobile Platform is negligible."
"The cost of SAP is extremely high, and it's not affordable for everyone."
