Improved mobile app development and user experience through optimization and security
The most valuable aspects include the optimization of application performance by optimizing API calls for a smoother user experience and faster load times. Furthermore, I restructured our code base to establish a more efficient development workflow. During my tenure, I integrated various security features for mobile applications, such as JWT tokens for secure authentication and data encryption using AES algorithms. I also focused on secure storage options, secure coding practices, and platform-specific security compliance, like Android's SafeNet and iOS Secure Enclave.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The technical support for Dell RecoverPoint is excellent."

"It excels in duplicating data between two distinct types of storage systems."
"Dell RecoverPoint offers cost savings in the long term."
"The solution is now Flash-based, which is better. they moved away from Java."
"Customer Service: Very good, EMC did support us to implement it well and gave useful instructions and lessons to help to maintain it well."
"The solution provides continuous data protection."

"I recommend this solution because, for me, it's one of the most efficient and performant CDN operators."
"The Rules Engine V4 is the most valuable feature."
"Without EdgeCast, our website was taking 10 to 15 seconds to load; with EdgeCast, it loads under five seconds and it's a good product."
"The product is easy to use and easy to implement."
"The customer support and service responsiveness were excellent."
"It's super easy to use and integrate with."

Cons

"The interfaces could be improved for better ease of use. There's also room for improvement in direct compatibility with other solutions."
"Integration with VMware is the only thing we need to improve. Another feature I'd like to see is the ability to convert management to HTML. And the integration should also be done on the same level."
"The cost of the solution is pretty high. The licensing costs may affect a company's ability to scale."
"The initial setup is complex."
"The new Gen5 appliances have adopted the Unisphere management interface and it is written for Adobe Flash, which in my experience, is very slow and makes administration cumbersome at times."
"In the future, I would like Dell RecoverPoint to evolve as an orchestration tool that can integrate with other replication tools such as Microsoft native replication and Oracle Data Guard."
"I am waiting for block replication with VirtualBox."
"Dell RecoverPoint can be improved by virtualizing it, which would use less storage and enhance performance."
"In the next release, I would like to see more global endpoints for their CDN and a lower price."
"We could not create more than 15 custom rules."
"The web interface of the Verizon Edgecast portal is very old. It's not user-friendly, slow, and it is missing some valuable features like the ability to make bulk changes."
"The web interface of the Verizon Edgecast portal is very old; it's not user-friendly, slow, and it is missing some valuable features like the ability to make bulk changes."
"The tool needs to resolve its lack of innovation."
"The comparable features that we are looking at fits into Cloudflare's free version, as opposed to Verizon EdgeCast, which we are paying for."

"The product is fairly priced."
"The price is moderate."
"It is considered quite costly."
"Support is an additional subscription."
"While I recommend Dell EMC, it depends on your specific use case. Licensing is perpetual, meaning you buy it once."
