Pros
"Omni-channel banking is valuable."

More Appzillon Digital Platform Pros →

"What I found most valuable in the Magic xpa Application Platform is that it has a client-server and web browser technology that's perfect for company users.""Magic’s unique approach to development ensures that the programmer stays focused on the objective of the program (i.e. display all customers in California), instead of the repetitive tasks that surround it (i.e. connect to database, open customers table, create the query to retrieve records within the specified criteria, fetch the result of the query, connect it to a data grid, etc.).""Speed of development and database connectivity (MS SQL, Oracle, DB2, Btrieve/Pervasive PSQL, ODBC, MySql, and SQLite).""The ability to use the same development environment for both Windows and Android applications. Magic xpa also supports iOS applications.""The solution makes the managing and adapting of the software very easy.""The best feature of Magic is the development time. The time it takes to develop something is incredibly fast if you compare Magic with, for example, Java.""Typically an experienced Magic developer can do the work of two to three experienced C#/.NET developers. Customers are amazed at how quickly most new features can be added and bug fixes implemented. I have worked for four employers - including myself - using Magic, and in most instances, bug fixes are addressed and deployed in under six hours.""Being able to make changes to existing programs to comply with last minute changes in requirements, and/or being able to fix, test, review, and deploy new code in a manner of hours instead of days, definitely gives us a huge advantage over our competitors and this is only possible thanks to Magic’s speed of programming."

Cons
"Development ease should be improved. It should be easier for developers."

More Appzillon Digital Platform Cons →

"The Android environment is missing a number of functions for file/folder manipulation, sending receiving text messages (SMS) and the menuing options are limited. For now, it is left to the developer to write his/her own Java functions to include in the APK.""Support is very bad.""The user interface could be improved to be more friendly for developers.""When you have several tasks, you open a screen in a task in developing mode, and you don't see the parent screens. Debugging lacks the effects to solve problems. You have to do it first in a kind of studio. Then you have to be sure that you can do it in Magic because there is almost nothing to debug it. It's practically impossible to debug. You have to be sure before you put your snippets.""There is room for improvement in Magic's marketing and licensing. I would like to see more integration of web functionality.""It is missing basic charting tools for bar/pie/series charts. It is left to the developer to acquire and deploy charting tools or the customer to purchase a third-party reporting tool to produce charts.""The configuration of the xpa RIA mobile environment is complex and a discouragement to new developers. Also, Magic's documentation can be less than complete at times which leads to frustration for new developers. (I encourage new Magic developers to join the Magic Users Group).""They want to be one toolbox for everything, but primarily, we are using xpa to develop desktop applications, and in that area they're lacking functionalities, flexibility, and modern stuff."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "It is an on-prem solution. It comes at a one-time cost, and then there is probably a yearly subscription."

    • More Appzillon Digital Platform Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "Magic is not the cheapest IDE out there. If you are considering Magic xpa, you should do a cost-benefit analysis to feel comfortable with your decision. The Magic sales staff is very helpful in providing pricing."
  • "It's not cheap. The licenses are not cheap. Not at all. They cost much money. There are other tools with free licenses but Magic asks for a lot of money."
  • "The cost for developers is high because you have to pay for licenses as well as runtime."
  • "The licensing is too costly."
  • "My clients have to purchase additional licenses in order to use what I built. It's not a fair approach."
  • "There are different licenses, we have the application and the online application. There are two different licenses for two different program sites for the Magic xpa Application Platform."
  • "The main problem with the Magic xpa Application Platform is pricing. You have to pay a lot of money for development, and you also have to pay a lot for the deployments and runtime, while in most competitors, you have to pay a lot for one of the two and not both."
  • "The licensing cost varies because nowadays Magic has tailor-made offerings for clients. I think the solution is worth the money."
