Efficient mobile testing with intuitive emulation capabilities and a user-friendly interface
Initial setup for Appium (especially for iOS) is not beginner-friendly.Consumes too much of your host machine's resources, potentially slowing down the machine.Appium Inspector often lacks deep insight or crashes with certain app builds. Improve test flakiness by intelligently selecting robust self-healing locators,simplified installers, better documentation, GUI-based config management,smart wait mechanisms and better failure logs.

Software Engineer (Kony-Temenos | Android) at Xpert Digital
Though a secure tool for building applications, there is a need to improve its stability
There is a lot of room for improvement in Temenos Quantum. Temenos Quantum is not quite stable yet. Improvements can be made to make Temenos Quantum stable. Improvements are needed in the solution, considering how my company needs to raise a lot of tickets with the technical support team of Temenos for some basic issues every time. There are some features in Temenos Quantum that I want to be stabilized by Temenos, just like in Android Studio and Xcode. Building an application using Temenos Quantum is not difficult, but my company needs to seek some support for the solution all the time.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable features of Appium are the in-built functionality, which we can use in our code. For example, move back, move front, navigate one page before, and navigate one page ahead. You can do this by using the in-built functions from Appium."
"When it comes to mobile automation, I recommend this solution because of its performance, and scalability over the competition."
"The solution helps with test automation. We focus mostly on Java."
"It has flaws, but is still much better than any other cross-platform mobile automation tool."
"The library is extensive so the driver interacts with most functions or actions on mobile devices."
"For our company, Appium's similarity with Selenium is important as we use Selenium."
"The interface is user-friendly, which is beneficial for users, even for those who are new to it."
"The solution is easy to use."
"Comparing other solutions with Temenos Quantum, the later is less mature and presents several issues. Implementing Temenos Quantum has been challenging, resembling a nightmare compared to the smoother experience with the other."
"Overall, Kony is the best mobile platform on Gartner, where it has been at the top for the last seven years."
"I like the complete, professional social site."
"You can do rapid development across multiple platforms.​"
"The initial setup of Temenos Quantum was easy."
"You can build your own customized, native, mobile applications in an efficient matter."
"The most valuable features of Temenos Quantum are user-friendliness and customizability."
"The most valuable feature is usability. You can develop components inside it and reuse them in different parts of your application, wherever needed. You can replicate them. There's also a Quantum Fabric on the back end, which provides a middle layer between your database and the third-party systems you need to integrate. It also provides the integration to handle all sorts of exceptions and timeouts on the Fabric. This makes it easy to troubleshoot errors coming from third-party APIs."
 

Cons

"It needs to accommodate applications that use React.js and AngularJS."
"The setup and installation were a problem for us at first."
"Configuring the project to be used in Appium is a little bit tedious."
"Appium doesn't recognize IDs placed by our developers on nested elements when we use React Native for iOS; it just sees the whole page and one element."
"The tool needs to add a dependency manager."
"The product was a bit difficult to install. It wasn’t easy. We had issues."
"They can improve test reporting, and more importantly on test scripts, by providing less constructs to automate more complex testing scenarios."
"The installation part of Appium is somewhat clumsy, requiring numerous dependencies and configurations."
"The technology of the solution needs an update. It is deficient in terms of connectivity."
"The product needs more native features."
"When developing our application, we also encountered certain issues related to delays and time-consuming builds."
"One area where Temenos Quantum could improve is in the flexibility of widgets and additional libraries."
"Using the API manager can be complicated when you're dealing with multiple teams, projects, and APIs. Quantum doesn't have user-based access, so I can't restrict parts of the project to specific users."
"There are many issues when integrating with native sides when building an Android application of the retail accelerator or an iOS application of the retail actuator. We have to incorporate on the native side of things, which creates a lot of issues. Temenos Quantum is a proprietary product and not open source. There is not much information available on the internet for developers to reference when solving issues. You have to contact the help desk, who will then give you an appointment and work to resolve the issue. In terms of what Temenos can do better, they can make the product more mature so that we do not encounter as many black holes when encountering an issue."
"We would like to have widgets for graphs and analytics, as well as the integration of machine learning."
"In terms of technical support, I think that they are lacking."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's completely 100% free, and there are no hidden fees."
"Appian is open-source, which is not licensed."
"I'm unsure if there's any cost associated with Appium. I got the free package which includes the server GUI application and the inspector application, and it was free to download, and that's all I need to get my work done. I'm not aware of any additional costs associated with the tool."
"It's open source, so it's completely free."
"Appium is free and open-source."
"The solution is open source so it is free."
"The price is good for people to be able to make a favorable decision for the value."
"The solution is open-source."
"​The price is too high. The annual cost for the Kony license is very high. Every year you have to renew it in order to maintain it​"
"It is expensive solution."
"This is an expensive solution, and it is the biggest challenge that we face when we present this platform to customers."
"Temenos Quantum is an expensive tool. Taking into consideration my company's use of Temenos Quantum for a bank, the costs attached to the solution ranged from 3,00,000 to 5,00,000 USD for building one application for the bank."
"The product is expensive. First, they must purchase the product, and then pay an annual renewal fee. The renewal fee depends on the product details and the license term’s length. Clients can buy licenses for five or ten years and pay for them upfront, or they can set up a yearly renewal cycle."
