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

"The most valuable feature is the one code deployed to all solutions, which means you do not need to have multiple teams."
"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."
"What I like the most about Ionic is live reloading, which enables us to develop new features without having to build the application again and re-check the functionality."
"Ionic is easy to upgrade and is helpful for design purposes. It also is quite common and easy to use. It is a very reliable application. It's easy to write on and print. The UI is easy to use as well. My organization chose to go with Ionic because we can access both Android and iOS applications."
"The most valuable feature of Ionic is the ease of use and the simple connection of the applications. Additionally, the documentation is good in the Ionic application, and beginners can easily learn and download their own application using Ionic. Everyone can easily switch out, their domain, from native applications to hybrid applications."
"The solution can support many languages."
"Ionic is the best solution I have used of its kind."
"With the Capacitor feature, you have access to the native attributes of your phone such as your camera. This makes work a lot easier."
"The Task Flow feature provides us with structure and navigation between AMX pages, both bounded and unbounded."
"Deployment to multiple platforms with single codebase Oracle support access."
"Very easy to use and start building apps for people with an Oracle ADF background."
"Since Oracle MAF consumes REST WebServices, it was pretty fast to build, deploy and consume our existing Oracle ADF applications based on ADF-BC into our native mobile app based on the hybrid model."
"There exists different hybrid solutions in the market with open source products, but if you want to have support and a real business solution, then there is no better solution that I've seen."
"We feel like, as an internet company, we try to achieve 99.99% availability of our website for all users, and since we get fewer bounces in the system, it does provide reliability and availability for the website."
"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."
"It's a very powerful way of moving forward."
 

Cons

"As a developer, I would say one of the improvements is more plugins."
"The navigation within this solution could be improved; it is currently quite complicated to move through the different tabs."
"Documentation for migrations and compatibility is insufficient."
"It would be better if it had a speed niche system."
"Ionic's UI component doesn't always look like the native mobile app."
"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."
"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 would be improved with dynamic design features."
"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."
"One of the key areas in which MCS needs improvement is documentation. New features, like Zero Footprint SSO, need better documentation with detailed integration steps."
"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."
"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."
"At the time we got it, the product was not very mature, but in the newer versions the framework has become much more mature/stable."
"They need to enhance it to allow older smartphones to work smoothly without hanging."
"As Oracle MAF is a heavy product, it doesn’t allow much space to convince customers to go with the product suite."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The starting cost for the enterprise option is around one hundred dollars per month."
"The solution's open source option is free with no licensing fees."
"You can use the free version, but if you still want to buy it, the price starts from $499/month."
"We pay 50,000 dinars per month."
"Ionic is an open-source solution, it is free."
"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."
"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."
"Ionic is an open source solution, and there are no hidden fees."
