Likelihood to Recommend
If you want to quickly get up to speed with a multi platform app without putting in the effort to program the functionalities individually. It is also quite extensible so that a lot of things can be realized. However, it can be challenging sometimes to implement platform specific things in parallel. Especially it is hard to realize iOS features sometimes.

Sencha is suited for:
  • Enterprise applications that are really huge
  • Development happens on huge teams, on-shore an offshore model, one can divide and conquer by splitting in modules easily
  • 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

Alternatives Considered
Compared with Angular and Vue, Reactive Native doesn't have a steep learning curve, considering it is a complete solution, and mastering Angular and Vue requires one to learn associated concepts like TypeScript and MVC. In React, the same code base may be implemented for creating a UI element and dictating its behavior, thereby eliminating the over-engineering procedures and following programming paradigms like KISS, DRY and SOLID.

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.
