User Testimonials
	Ionic	SAP Extension Suite (discontinued)
Likelihood to Recommend	Ionic - Inexpensively and rapidly creating multi-device (Android, iPhone) native apps. - Quick ramp-up time allows for rapid development. - Open source tools can be used to develop. - Lightweight code-based can be easily shared and developed in a team environment. - Use of React, Vue, and angular leverages well-known coding and application design frameworks that are transportable. Incentivized Jeff Hanson Lead Developer Read full review	Discontinued Products The adoption of SAP Extension Suite is growing significantly and it has become a strategic platform for our company. SAP Extension Suite will most likely meet the requirements of most companies to get beyond small workgroup apps and tackle more strategic requirements. The most important thing that SAP Extension delivers is a single UI for development effort for web and mobile deployment. Incentivized AO Austin Orlos Principal Digital Product Engineer Read full review
Pros	Ionic Nice command line interface for repetitive development and deployment tasks. Realtime preview (in web browser) during development. Easy to update and keep current (open source) via command line. Provides nice set of mobile widgets for consistency across devices. Incentivized Jeff Hanson Lead Developer Read full review	Discontinued Products Reduces the length and cost of system development and integration Empowers developers to acquire a new skill to deliver applications and other services efficiently Enabled the innovation team to transform the way services are accessed and delivered Ensures scalability of apps used simultaneously by thousands of customers Incentivized JM Jason Martin Senior Software Engineering Manager Read full review
Cons	Ionic Slightly better documentation when it comes to command line build troubleshooting. Increased widget library (even though it's much improved today). Native chart/graphing widgets. Incentivized Jeff Hanson Lead Developer Read full review	Discontinued Products It was a bit of a hassle to configure at first but once setup it's easy and fast. At a certain time they removed key items used in pipelines to force upgrades. The new UI though works well feels less intuitive than the previous one.

Alternatives Considered	Ionic Android Studio Busy Confusing Marginal IDE Large footprint Single device development IonicFramework Lean, no IDE needed Web browser preview Multi-device development Scripting of build packages for deployment Incentivized Jeff Hanson Lead Developer Read full review	Discontinued Products We have been able to work in a much more agile way with SAP Extension Suite, and there is a lot of excitement that developing with this platform is significantly faster. SAP Extension Suite is the perfect fit to build great-looking applications that work on any form factor, be it [a] smartphone, laptop, or tablet, and within budget. Incentivized JO Jake Oldenhuis Team Lead Application Development Read full review
Return on Investment	Ionic The ability to create a mobile app quickly by a single developer (saving $20K). Increased customer satisfaction. Avoids outsourcing costs of $10k-$20k. Incentivized Jeff Hanson Lead Developer Read full review	Discontinued Products Faster development cycle due to native integration with SAP products Negative short-term ROI due to the lack of training material and significant differences with the previous version of the same tool (SAP Web IDE) Tighter integration with corporate programming guidelines since SAP Extension Suite offers great integration with DevOps pipeline solutions Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
