Easy coding with good architecture but UI needs improvement
Pros and Cons
  • "Ionic's best feature is that it's not necessary to write your own custom codes as all the hybrid is provided by Angular."
  • "Ionic is good for beginners as you don't need to understand advanced coding languages to start creating basic mobile applications."
  • "Ionic's UI component doesn't always look like the native mobile app."

What is our primary use case?

I mainly use Ionic to create hybrid applications.

What is most valuable?

Ionic's best feature is that it's not necessary to write your own custom codes as all the hybrid is provided by Angular. Its architecture is also good, and it's easy to code.

What needs improvement?

Ionic's UI component doesn't always look like the native mobile app.

For how long have I used the solution?

I've been using Ionic for about three years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

Ionic is stable.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

Ionic is scalable because it creates the environment automatically when the application starts, so we don't have to custom-create the structure.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

I've also used React, which is better than Ionic from a UI perspective but worse in terms of architecture.

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup is easy.

What other advice do I have?

Ionic is good for beginners as you don't need to understand advanced coding languages to start creating basic mobile applications. I would rate Ionic seven out of ten.

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

Public Cloud

Excellent framework in web/mobile application development and it supports many languages
Pros and Cons
  • "The solution can support many languages."
  • "I believe it's worth learning this framework because, from what I've seen so far, I think it's a very good solution for hybrid mobile application development."
  • "The supported document on this solution could be improved."

What is our primary use case?

My primary use case of this solution is for its web application development. We are customers of Ionic and I'm a project manager.

What is most valuable?

This solution has several valuable features including that it supports PWA which can make you write once and build web and mobile application at the same time. That is EXCELLENT! It also allows you to choose your preferred languages, like angular, react and vue. It has good supports in mobile UI components and native APIs which you don't have to worry about native coding if you don't know about xcode or android studio. I think Ionic is the best way to get into it.

What needs improvement?

The supported document on this solution could be improved. (https://ionicframework.com/doc...)

When you look at the above doc page. There are bunch of plugin references on the left side.

And you click on any topic of them, the main page will show you only a short sample code in Angular section of the Usage Title. For React, there is always a "See here" link there. When you click on the "See here", the next page always shows camera related code in Angular section and barcode-scanner related code in React section, which is not related to the topic you clicked. BTW, Vue is always missing there. 

For how long have I used the solution?

I've been using this solution for three months. 

How was the initial setup?

I think the initial setup is still with some issues. Firstly, you have to install nodejs then install some other dependencies or tools. But if you used the updated version, It may have some version issues with the dependencies. The setup, the environment and the process weren't quite that smooth as you think. The better way to setup easily is to choose a stable version and follow the steps at the document. 

What other advice do I have?

I have already recommended this product to my friends. I believe it's worth learning this framework because, from what I've seen so far, I think it's a very good solution for hybrid mobile application development. Especially for the web based developer and experts. It has a easiest way to build apk and ipa as well. All you have to do is to install xcode and android studio, then use them to generate the apk and ipa files. That's it! You don't need to understand the coding with xcode or android studio. I think ionic framework is an excellent product. Finally, all is FREE!!

I rate this solution a nine out of 10. 

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

On-premises
