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.

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

"Within a single command, we can easily connect to the device."
"It has flaws, but is still much better than any other cross-platform mobile automation tool."
"For the particular use case we used Appium for, we felt that it served our purpose completely, and we haven't had any issues with the Python Client for Appium."
"When it comes to mobile automation, I recommend this solution because of its performance, and scalability over the competition."
"Overall, Appium is the best; it has the flexibility, simplicity, and it is elegant, technically more advanced, and even a beginner can start using Appium very quickly and master it in less time."
"The solution is easy to use."
"We do not need to pay for the solution. It’s free."
"The latest versions of the solution are stable."
"You can build your own customized, native, mobile applications in an efficient matter."
"The best thing about Temenos Quantum is how it smoothly connects with Temenos Fabric. This simplifies our quantum application by handling identity, authentication, and security tasks seamlessly, saving us from extra coding."
"The visualizer and API manager are super useful. It's easy to create applications for the agent. Automations and other complex tasks can be hard, but it's mostly straightforward. You can create forms and populate tables."
"Its greatest advantage lies in its exceptional security and robustness."
"The main benefit lies in its exceptional speed of implementation."
"The best feature is the Kony Studio, which is the product that is used to develop interfaces."
"You can do rapid development across multiple platforms.​"
"With the new VM releases, it is a faster product with more abilities that benefit the user."
 

Cons

"We haven't been able to fully leverage Appium for multiple reasons. I think number one is just that the tests take a long time to run. We have had some issues around just the results themselves and how predictable they are, but those are not issues with Appium directly."
"When doing mobile testing Appium is difficult as you can't use it for mobile testing in virtual machines."
"The installation part of Appium is somewhat clumsy, requiring numerous dependencies and configurations."
"The last time I used it, whenever I selected and clicked on an element, Appium was very slow."
"Another room for improvement in Appium is that it's buggy sometimes."
"I'm facing a lot of issues with my new juniors when they set up Appium for iOS."
"If it had more facility for configuration it would be a spectacular solution."
"Appium could improve by enabling record and run techniques similar to what they have in other licensing tools, such as Micro Focus. We have to all write the code, and then we can proceed."
"Temenos Quantum is not quite stable yet."
"They need to improve their tech support's abilities. They do have a good tech support, but it still requires improvement."
"Some features are only enabled for paid users. It would be much better if they enabled those features without having to pay. I would also like to see them publish information about future technologies on the Home screen under a separate tab. That would be an improvement."
"When developing our application, we also encountered certain issues related to delays and time-consuming builds."
"There is definitely room for improvement, especially in the areas of AI, AR, and DR for mobile and web applications"
"The technology of the solution needs an update. It is deficient in terms of connectivity."
"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."
"One area where Temenos Quantum could improve is in the flexibility of widgets and additional libraries."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing of Appium is fine."
"Appian is open-source, which is not licensed."
"This is an open source solution so it does not cost anything for licensing or otherwise."
"The solution is open-source."
"Appium is free and open-source."
"There is no license for this solution because it is open-source."
"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."
"The solution is open source so it is free."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"​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​"
