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."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 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 solution can support many languages."
"The most valuable feature is the one code deployed to all solutions, which means you do not need to have multiple teams."
"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."
"Ionic's best features are its hybrid app development, design, and tags."
"It's very flexible for UI development."
"With the Capacitor feature, you have access to the native attributes of your phone such as your camera. This makes work a lot easier."
"We like that the technology is very agile and flexible in the sense that there's a large partner ecosystem within Salesforce Platform. This enables us to choose from many different partners with different advantages, and all of it can be done in a plug-and-play kind of way."
"I like it because of the fact that it lets me know what I'm working on and what I've recently worked on. It also helps me and allows me to do tracking. If I want to go out and find out how many times I've touched customers, I can find that information out. It tracks such information, and we use it. If we send any type of promotions out, it tracks who gets those promotions and how they've responded to those promotions."
"Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten...I rate Salesforce Platform's technical support a ten out of ten."
"The scalability of the Salesforce Platform is good."
"The standard sales and marketing tools that Salesforce provides on the platform are the most valuable."
"There are no major performance issues in the solution."
"A great platform to import, manage and save customer data."
"The solution scales extremely well."
"Ionic could improve in the Native mode because while we do testing it is difficult to find the root cause of problems. It could be more user-friendly."
"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."
"The navigation within this solution could be improved; it is currently quite complicated to move through the different tabs."
"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 would be good if the mobile version uses something other than JavaScript and HTML."
"Documentation for migrations and compatibility is insufficient."
"Ionic would be improved with dynamic design features."
"It's all set up for us in a way that establishes our account. We need to tag ourselves to opportunities. You have to tag yourself to the opportunity manually; you need to find it yourself and tag it."
"The back end really isn't user-friendly at all."
"It does need very specific resources to help deploy it and buy in from the users. It's one of those items it's pretty disruptive and if it's not deployed properly and if it doesn't get utilized efficiently, it won't be effective."
"There needs to be more documentation."
"A company needs to carefully consider how they set up Salesforce in order to ensure it benefits them."
"The cost of data storage is an issue once the company grows."
"An expensive solution requiring a lot of configuration."
"They should provide access to data quality tips and tricks to make it better."
