We performed a comparison between Ionic and Salesforce Platform based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Mobile Development Platforms solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The solution is secure, reliable, and packed with features so we can easily implement apps even in the most complex situations."
"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."
"Ionic's best features are its hybrid app development, design, and tags."
"Ionic's best feature is that it's not necessary to write your own custom codes as all the hybrid is provided by Angular."
"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."
"I like that I can place the code and escalate data storage. I also like that it's user-friendly. Nothing is complex in Ionic."
"With the Capacitor feature, you have access to the native attributes of your phone such as your camera. This makes work a lot easier."
"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."
"I like using the reports feature, but also the fact that we are able to have a smooth process when it comes to leads and opportunities."
"A fully integrated solution that provides a seamless experience."
"We've done a solid job managing past account history, enabling us to quickly review past activities and the contacts we've engaged with. Now, Salesforce has integrated a LinkedIn feature, streamlining the process by eliminating the need to manually input data into LinkedIn separately. This integration adds LinkedIn profiles to customer profiles, enhancing efficiency. They've also introduced a sales console platform."
"Checking out or extracting a report is just a click away."
"Intuitive to work with and the overall fundamental of the platform is very strong."
"Marketing and Sales Lead, Forecasting, Campaign management."
"I love the report building that is available."
"I like the reports and the dashboards. Since I'm a managing partner, I use the reports and dashboards to understand my team's contact management, opportunity management, and account management activities. We use Pardot for marketing campaigns."
"It would be better if it had a speed niche system. There are a lot of things we need that weren't in the latest version. But I think they will be adding something."
"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's UI component doesn't always look like the native mobile app."
"There is a lack of a community environment."
"As a developer, I would say one of the improvements is more plugins."
"The documentation could be improved."
"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."
"The solution offers upgrades at a slower pace. The solution needs to keep up with competitors."
"The integration of Salesforce with other solutions could be improved."
"An improved UX may be helpful in the solution's next release."
"Salesforce also did not integrate well with some of the other systems that we had."
"I don't have any notes for improvement. It serves us well."
"Instead of creating our own template, if we had some nice templates that we could pick up - if there were some Microsoft Word templates or Microsoft Excel templates in a repository in Salesforce, that would be great."
"The initial setup process was a complex thing to do because four different organizations were working together."
"Salesforce is incredibly slow. It was difficult to run live sales calls and leveraging Salesforce at the same time."
