Sencha is suited for:

• Budget is not a constraint

It's not uited for:

• Small budget applications
• Not too many components are needed
• Static or less dynamic content based websites
• Turnaround time is shorter and developers have to spin something around in a short duration of time

The main reason we chose Sencha is it’s full stack solution. We have an integrated backend that solves a lot of the infrastructure issues and Sencha was the only tool in the market that has only one library full of components. It is not fashionable to use it, as developers always love new technologies, but Sencha is the best for business applications and has a lot of useful tools.

• Excellent applications
• Very good performance
• Not very used, and developers don't like it at the beginning
