Chose Android
Android is probably on par with Apple iOS adoption.
Chose Android
These two operating systems are both great and can totally do everything that we need in our school. The reason we go with Android is that it is cheaper and we have a greater variety of apps available to us. IOS can be a little pricey and it also doesn't allow us to do the …
Chose Android
We have tablets, phones, and other mobile devices that are supported by Android operating systems. We have also used various apps found on all these devices that provide a quick solution to multiple needs, like marketing and donation support. About six years ago we were also …
Chose Android
Android allows users to customize their systems. It is very simple to use and there are a lot of devices running it. The interface has been improving a lot since Android Lollipop and it has been becoming more useful.
For developers, Android gives more possibilities and the …
iOS
Chose iOS
Although I have tinkered with an android device, its operating system was much more complex and harder to work with. Many times, carriers bundle their own settings apps, which can confuse the end user about what app to use to change a certain setting. With iOS's delta updates …
Chose iOS
It isn't customizable as such like Android, and I have a set field to play. Yet, that is anything but a central motivation to hate this OS.
Chose iOS
iOS is way beyond Android in terms of centralized management. It is way more fleshed out in terms of features, and Android management has all but been abandoned at this point. iOS is still behind Chrome OS, particularly in an educational setting, but there are genuine tradeoffs …
Chose iOS
I would rate Android and iOS equally, but for our business iOS seems to be better suited to the client base who are more familiar with it already (via personal devices.)
Chose iOS
The software updates have a wide coverage for iPhone models and I love updating software for additional features and/or improved software stability. It has also genuine feel of the phones they offer. Easier to set up and use. It helps me do more productive tasks. If I have the …
Chose iOS
Android is good more most people and is widely used by home users. iOS does seem more business orientated and professional. By this I mean the single button and apps are kept simple and to the point for business users. I do use this for home use as well and have had no …
Chose iOS
The biggest issue is that iOS protects you well above Android. Android is known for getting infected as its OS is not developed the same way as Apple's. Apple has a strong security model and has shown that it can fight off any known hacker and/or virus files. iOS is …

Android is a great solution for our users for communicating through calls and texts, however, we have a slower response time through web browsers than with other products used in the past. These issues are minimal and overall we are happy with Android products. We are unable however to use Apple Pay and other comparable apps that are popular at this time.

Indeed, it's super. OS makes it the most feasible item right now on the lookout. It's smooth, and it will not slack even following 3-4 years settling on it. A wise speculation choice for an innovation.

  • Some of the security features can get in the way of organizational management, requiring careful consideration of the configuration.
  • There are a lot of design choices that are consumer-first that you have to work around with institutionally-owned devices.
  • There are some hard limitations, like apps not having direct access to network interfaces for WiFi scans.

Usability
It is very easy to use and the customer user interface is very smooth and logical. Rarely do applications crash and need reinstallation. The app store is secure enough to prevent malicious software from being advertised and potentially downloaded. Rebooting devices does not have to be a regular occurrence so this allows for high availability.

In all likelihood, common users will either already have experience with iOS on their iPhones, or will pick it up quickly. The UI is generally simple and mostly visual. Power users, on the other hand, may feel constrained by the inherent limitations built-in. Root access, terminal commands, and deep customization are not really to be found here.

Support Rating
There are a lot of people that use Android around the world. There are many forums and blogs that you can read about Android. It is too easy to find information about the system and for developers, it is too easy to create an app. For me, it is one of the best operating systems.

Lots of help articles online for just about everything under the sun. I have never personally had to engage Apple's support team to comment on their helpfulness.

iOS is way beyond Android in terms of centralized management. It is way more fleshed out in terms of features, and Android management has all but been abandoned at this point. iOS is still behind Chrome OS, particularly in an educational setting, but there are genuine tradeoffs that might make it a better fit for a given organization, and in fact, we do regularly deploy both iOS and Chrome OS devices.

Return on Investment
  • Its positive impact on our business, We reduces our team and overall cost has reduced.
  • Performance has increased as Android manages the resources very well.
  • UI also improved as there are to much components

  • Positive as far as cellular usage, phone tracking, and security for our users.
  • Negative as far as battery replacement on older phones.
  • Costs would be similar to android phones so security/simplicity is our main point here.
