The input class makes it easy to provide server-side validation and scrubbing of user input. Setting Error messages. It doesn't require constant command-line access, It's great because it has a strong community and excellent documentation, but the problem is that it tries to retain backward compatibility with PHP 4 and therefore lacks a lot of "standard" features modern frameworks have such as auto-loading.Incentivized
If you are required to develop applications that are cross-platformed, Xamarin is a great tool to use. It will help save time and effort from your development team to be able to build applications seamlessly for android, IOS, Windows, and web on a single platform instead of requiring multiple tools to get the job done.Incentivized
CodeIgniter is an excellent tool when a simple database API is needed. Postgres, MySQL, and SQLite are all abstracted into a simple-to-useCodeIgniter's simplicity is truly its best feature, because you are able to create controllers and methods based on the http://www.example//, and immediately being developing the application.Flexibility is also another developer-friendly feature, because developers are able to design their application in any way - controllers, models, libraries, and helpers can be located anywhere or not used at all.Incentivized
Xamarin allows you to write cross platform code. This allows companies to build apps more quickly by writing less code. Having code abstracted and reused across multiple platforms allows for more testing and less issues overall.The ability to use Visual Studio is a huge plus. Visual Studio is one of the best IDE's available and being able to write cross platforms apps while in a great IDE makes everything less painful.Xamarin is now free with a large company backing. This means that bugs on the platform get fixed more quickly and there is a large community of developers.Incentivized
Faced some issue of session management, so that's why we used the Core Session library for that. It would be great if we could improve it a little bit.Frameworks provide the option to setup all getters/setters, so having this option in it is a great idea.Incentivized
Forms - not 100% there. Still needs work but is production ready.iOS - sometimes errors can be hard to understand, if they even show up.Insights - Xamarin offers their own crash analytics software. However, it's not perfect and sometimes doesn't pick up crashes.Incentivized
Xamarin has been great for developing different projects efficiently and effectively. It's nice to reuse the core business logic across different platforms so that there are less to maintain and little replications are needed. The biggest benefit is that C# programmers do not have to learn a different language to do mobile development.Incentivized

I never had to contact support for any help. Most of the problems we ran into, we were able to identify and use peer support through blogs and other internet sources to resolve the problems. There are plenty of sources online which provide tutorials, discuss problems, etc. Example: StackOverflowIncentivized
Just with any programming tasks, have a plan first. Design out the system, spend time to build it correctly the first time and have plenty of testing and user acceptance opportunities. Xamarin was easy to implement for a C# programmer. However, you need to do tutorials to realize the platform's capabilities.Incentivized
CodeIgniter has a very small footprint. The source code is very small sized. Setting up a project is very easy. Follows MVC pattern. Consumes low memory and CPU. Well documented. Has a built-in forum for users to discuss and get the solution for issues. Periodically updates versions and patch fixes etc.Incentivized
Xamarin runs natively on MacOS, and the debugger and other integration and auto-complete tools are far better than Eclipse for C# .NET. It also carries much of the plugin/add-on capabilities that are so desirable on Atom. Eclipse is a better for generalized software development, provided a developer is comfortable switching between the IDE the command line for certain parts of their workflow, like building, package management, or debugging. But for C# .NET development on MacOS specifically, Xamarin is the best product I've used for the job.Incentivized
Because of quick turnaround on portals/intranets, it was easy to offer this as an option to clients.As there is no cost associated with this framework, it was great not having to worry about purchasing or licensing. (MIT License).Community support helps in that there are no ongoing support contracts or costs.No direct representative for one-on-one support, if needed. This can cut into time used on projects.Incentivized
Saves development time and deliver fast.Allows inhouse developers build both Android and iOS application without switching languages.Allows use coding in C# in Visual studio IDE from which we can code in different languages. We don't need multiple IDEs installedIncentivized
