Ionic vs. Webix UI

- 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.

If you need to create an interactive data report, optimize a workflow, handle hierarchical data or make calculations in a powerful spreadsheet, you will find a proper widget for your needs in the Webix UI library. If we want to display data in various forms Webix UI layouts and widget help to organize a web page and define its overall look-and-feel.

Incentivized

• 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

• The Kanban Control allowed to implement a compelling task management system with little effort.
• The Chart Control made it easy to create our dashboard and it was a lot easier than using D3js as we did before. D3 allows a lot more flexibility but it takes often 10 times longer to get a chart done than using Webix.
• Support at Webix is very helpful and responsive.

• 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.

• None at the moment

Webix UI is a cross-browser, cross-device JavaScript framework which makes it easy to build a complex Web UI. Most features work as expected. While working with large datasets, you can load data dynamically to reduce complexity and improve performance. It provides a set of integration extensions that allow you to add third-party tools into an application.

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

React was too time consuming. Kendo was another good one, but more expensive and seemed less responsive. [Sencha's] demo didn't seem to justify the price.

• The ability to create a mobile app quickly by a single developer (saving $20K).
• Increased customer satisfaction.
• Avoids outsourcing costs of $10k-$20k.

Incentivized

• It saved us 1000s of USD for just using the Kanban Board instead of developing it from scratch.
