Rodrigo-Mesquita - PeerSpot reviewer
Senior Software developer at QV Systems
Rapid application development empowers big projects in months
The ability to quickly develop applications without needing to code a lot is very valuable. It is very quick to create a page, and one can use AI to speed up software development. It is easy to learn. In my company, we could develop a very big application in a couple of months.
Zain Omer - PeerSpot reviewer
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 solution can efficiently translate from English to another language including Arabic using the XLIFF format."
"Oracle APEX is very easy to use and comes with a lot of ready-made components that speed up the process of creating reports and dashboards."
"This is a good application for quickly creating public applications."
"If I have a database and therefore structured data, and I want to create an application to work with it, it's the quickest possible environment that I can do it in."
"The database is super easy to use for creating tables."
"The support is great; whenever I encounter an issue and raise an SR to Oracle, I receive a fast response from their side."
"The solution is easy to handle. The tool has helped us develop many applications since it supports SQL and NoSQL languages. We are familiar with this language. Also, the solution’s interface design and database design are very easy. It is not so much complex. I have no experience working with other solutions."
"The valuable features are charts, reports, and search engines."
"The best feature is the Kony Studio, which is the product that is used to develop interfaces."
"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."
"The main benefit lies in its exceptional speed of implementation."
"Its greatest advantage lies in its exceptional security and robustness."
"With the new VM releases, it is a faster product with more abilities that benefit the user."
"It is a single platform that can cater to mobile and web development requirements, making it convenient for businesses looking to transition into the digital space."
"You can do rapid development across multiple platforms.​"
"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."
 

Cons

"In terms of improvement, there should be a greater focus on AI and machine learning tools in Oracle APEX."
"Some of the application interfaces of Oracle Application Express are not very attractive and could be improved."
"Regarding features, the solution lacks the ability to integrate with different databases. Also, I feel that Oracle Application Express (APEX) is exclusively designed for other Oracle tools."
"It can only be deployed on Oracle Database."
"Apex has effectively incorporated new market trends into its features. The platform's user-friendly nature is notable, guiding developers through the development process. While advanced customization of the user interface with HTML and CSS is possible, the out-of-the-box options often suffice, providing 80-90% of the required functionality. The IDE is commendable, yet an enhancement in the Page Designer to allow a real-time preview of layout changes would be beneficial. Currently, running the page is necessary to visualize layout adjustments, but an immediate preview during the design phase would be a valuable improvement."
"The grid reports contain a lot of bugs."
"There is a bit of a learning curve involved when first using the solution."
"Occasionally when trying to un a page, I would be faced with an error number; however, not much information would be provided on the error itself outside of the programming language. It would be nice if more information could be provided."
"It would be highly beneficial if future iterations of Temenos could incorporate support for QR-based payment methods, as it would enhance the platform's capabilities and align it more closely with modern payment trends"
"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."
"Temenos Quantum is not quite stable yet."
"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 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."
"They need to improve their tech support's abilities. They do have a good tech support, but it still requires improvement."
"Temenos Quantum needs to improve its usability. It lacks information on the network. We have to contact the support when we are stuck with something."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The tool is not expensive."
"We have an Oracle basic product license, and then we can use Oracle APEX for free. We have many licenses for Oracle for approximately 20 processors."
"The solution is free."
"I do not think this would be an ideal option for a small sized company or a startup when considering the salary requirements for Oracle DBA'a and developers."
"Apex is not priced separately; instead, it is associated with the Oracle database. A free option for Oracle database and Apex can be downloaded and installed on this complimentary database version. This aligns with our current approach."
"APEX itslelf is a free product, but you will need to license peripheral components."
"I rate the product's price as ten on a scale of one to ten, where one is a high price, and ten is a low price."
"The tool is free with the Oracle Database license."
"This is an expensive solution, and it is the biggest challenge that we face when we present this platform to customers."
"It is expensive solution."
"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​"
"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."
