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 features are its hybrid app development, design, and tags."
"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."
"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's best feature is that it's not necessary to write your own custom codes as all the hybrid is provided by Angular."
"The most valuable feature is the one code deployed to all solutions, which means you do not need to have multiple teams."
"It's very flexible for UI development."
"The solution is secure, reliable, and packed with features so we can easily implement apps even in the most complex situations."
"With the Capacitor feature, you have access to the native attributes of your phone such as your camera. This makes work a lot easier."
"It is a platform that allows you to get applications quickly to the end user in a secure way."
"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."
"The reporting tools are very solid."
"The scalability of the Salesforce Platform is good."
"We haven't had any issues with stability so far."
"The tool's most valuable feature is the CRM. Salesforce Platform comes with out-of-the-box capabilities."
"The solution's stability is fine. There are no issues with Salesforce's stability."
"Salesforce is cloud-based, so there's no installation involved. You simply log in using the provided organization login. There's no need for installation."
"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."
"Ionic's UI component doesn't always look like the native mobile app."
"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."
"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."
"Documentation for migrations and compatibility is insufficient."
"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."
"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."
"It would be good if the mobile version uses something other than JavaScript and HTML."
"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."
"I have found it takes an exceedingly long time to put opportunities or clients in the system. If I have an opportunity that I need to put in the system it could take approximately 10 minutes. This is a lot of time when you have multiple opportunities to put in. There are other tasks to do that are required by supervisors, such as forecasts. What I have done to save time is I did not input as much detail as I could have because I knew it was going to take me an hour to get five leads in."
"An expensive solution requiring a lot of configuration."
"The integration of Salesforce with other solutions could be improved."
"The back end really isn't user-friendly at all."
"They should provide access to data quality tips and tricks to make it better."
"Better flexibility in editing emails created from templates would be great, and being able to add hyperlinks in emails for scheduling meetings would allow us to automate more."
"Salesforce Platform is a bit expensive compared to other CRM products, which is a drawback."
