xpa gives us a fast development speed. The most important thing is that it is oriented toward user functionalities.

The in-memory usage is the most valuable feature. It's very fast when we use the in-memory database.

We can work in the same application with multiple databases. It's very easy and configurable. The gateway is installed, and then we just need to give the server name and connection string. There's a lot of flexibility in the operations.

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. Magic is faster at developing to achieve the same goal. That's the main reason why I like it so much.

• 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 Magic xpa Application Platform is very suitable for production since it is easy to update. The program is simple to upgrade and deploy. The solution is convenient in production. You need to adjust the data, then adjust the program which is not difficult.

Three major features keep me working with Magic:

1. 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.).
2. Magic’s Database Gateway allows the logic of the program to be isolated from the underlying database. This provides the flexibility not only to move existing programs to different database environments without the need to change the logic in the program but also allows the programmer access to different databases without the need to know how to "talk" to them.
3. Without the need to compile code, the time spent in the development cycle is greatly reduced, allowing the programmer to test modifications to a program immediately after they have been saved.

The solution's most valuable feature involves its ability to integrate well with Oracle, a product we have also been using. 

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.

It's a product we know but they use modern tools and give us the ability to connect with the world outside Magic. For us, it's more internet applications, not so much the mobile thing. We also like the web service and the ability to communicate with other systems. In the old fashioned version we had to work with text files and so on, and now we can use the XML. It has the ability to create XML in an easier way.

The most valuable feature is the speed of development. It can be used on any platform and most databases are supported by it automatically.
