Great user acceptance and reliability, multiple teams not required, with prompt customer service
As a developer, I would say one of the improvements is more plugins. More plugins give you the ability to do more interactions with the framework over the library. As a user, I would say more flexibility in terms of look and feel. So far Ionic is very fluid. You might not really know, it is web-based technology. I know recently it has gone through a lot of updates, but it can also be improved and become stronger. Ionic allows you to get the best customization ever, but there is nothing like having more. The more customization you get, the easier it is for you to be able to build more quality apps.

Oracle Autonomous Mobile Cloud Enterprise: Deliver Mobile Apps faster using inbuilt features
Valuable features include: * Built-in platform APIs for configuring push notifications. * APIs to generate custom analytics events. * Connectors that can be used to connect to various enterprise backends and third-party systems. Now they have rolled out Oracle Autonomous Mobile Cloud Enterprise which also helps us to develop chatbots. We have implemented Facebook Channel enabled Chatbots using AMCe that allows to interact with Oracle EBS modules like HRMS. Here user can interact with chatbots to get the details about approved leaves, available leaves & also have the provision to apply leave. For one of our major clients, we wrote custom APIs in Oracle Autonomous Mobile Cloud to convert SOAP APIs to REST APIs. We were also able to integrate SSO functionality in their mobile application using Virtual Zero Footprint SSO. Oracle Autonomous Mobile Cloud has a built in token exchange endpoint that allows to generate SSO tokens using third party JWT or SAML tokens. We have also implemented Browser Based SSO in some of our client mobile applications.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It's very flexible for UI development."
"The main value of this solution for our business, is that it is a hybrid product that allows us to write code that is compatible with IOS, Android, and web documents."
"The most valuable feature of Ionic is the ease of use and the simple connection of the applications."
"I like that I can place the code and escalate data storage, and I also like that it's user-friendly and nothing is complex in Ionic."
"Because it's a hybrid mobile app framework, it is easy for us to develop iOS as well as Android apps for our customers with the same resource skills. We didn't have to have separate iOS teams and Android teams to build the apps. We still have to use the Apple Xcode for iOS, but the main development happens with JavaScript, HTML, and CSS. We don't have to write separate code bases in scripts for iOS and Android. We create apps using web-based technology."
"For us, it is our platform of choice for most of our mobile app product development and the default choice for our company because working on the platform has been very good."
"Being able to have one set of code is valuable. I don't have to recode for different platforms. I don't have to recode for Xcode, Angular, or Android. So, the biggest feature for me is that it's a hybrid system, and I can have one set of code, and then the tool sets that are in there convert my code for Xcode or Play Store. It makes work a lot easier."
"The most valuable feature is the one code deployed to all solutions, which means you do not need to have multiple teams."
"The hybrid framework and drag/drop features are the most valuable."
"Very easy to use and start building apps for people with an Oracle ADF background."
"Our Java developers can now build mobile apps for all platforms at once."
"Oracle MAF allows deployment of a mobile app to both Android and iOS, with one code base and one programming language, which actually simplifies development and makes it pretty easy for a developer to build an app from scratch."
"I would highly recommend Oracle MAF as it is: Single Platform – It handles end-to-end life cycle for enterprise mobility solutions."
"It's a very powerful way of moving forward."
"Oracle MAF is designed for larger companies who are already running Oracle Fusion middleware products."
"It can be deployed on multiple platforms, and it can communicate with banks, web services, and data controls."
 

Cons

"In a future release, we would like to have a little more support for the desktop environment. Currently it is still focused on mobile devices."
"It would be good if the mobile version uses something other than JavaScript and HTML."
"Ionic would be improved with dynamic design features."
"Ionic's UI component doesn't always look like the native mobile app."
"As a developer, I would say one of the improvements is more plugins."
"They started writing Capacitor to get rid of PhoneGap and Cordova, but they haven't yet got all the libraries and all the functionalities. They want you to start using Capacitor, but they don't have all the libraries there. They're developing them as they go. So, currently, you have to mix and match the three. When it comes to mobile applications, I would only like to use Capacitor. I don't want to jump between Cordova and Capacitor or have both of them. That's the main thing for me, but they have been working on it."
"Ionic is a cross-platform framework, so when we compare Ionic with native Android and iOS, we can see the drawbacks. For example, if you need to work on very high-level aspects of an application such as animation, even if everything else is not putting load on the app, you will still see high load from the server side."
"There could be better support for augmented reality and other things. Geolocation and background app activity are some of the things that are a little more clumsy at the moment and could be improved."
"It needs more native capabilities built into the platform, and alert messages without the need for plugins."
"Forums and groups are not very active, and we were not able to find answers for our queries by searching documentation."
"Due to the issue in performance, Oracle MAF was used as a second solution with React Native as the main one."
"A few times, what we encountered is that when we need some things to be patched, or some security bugs, they are not available on time."
"The license is not suitable for small to mid-level clients. I consider the license prices too expensive and Oracle MAF does not offer something new that other free frameworks offer."
"They need to enhance it to allow older smartphones to work smoothly without hanging."
"There are some stability issues with the framework, some bugs can cause the mobile application to crash, and there are other visual bugs as well."
"One of the features that would interest me would be mobile app analytics, which would allow us to track mobile app usage. I think they need to invest more into the functionality of this framework."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"You can use the free version, but if you still want to buy it, the price starts from $499/month."
"Ionic is an open-source solution, it is free."
"Ionic is an open source solution, and there are no hidden fees."
"The solution's open source option is free with no licensing fees."
"You don't have to pay anything except for certain projects. For example, Appflow has some costs related to it but you don't have to use it. You can also pay for extra support."
"I think most of the plugins for Ionic are open source, and you can do a lot with many of the basic features. However, if you need to use a premium plugin for something like extra scroll list functionality, Ionic will ask for a certain sum of money."
"The starting cost for the enterprise option is around one hundred dollars per month."
"We pay 50,000 dinars per month."
