Read full review Pros Cross-platform mobile development - we used this for developing the app on a native platform (which could be iOS, Android). Kony offers tools that are useful because they decrease costs and increase the speed at which apps are developed. In addition, cross-platform mobile development tools are generally quite simple to use as they are based off of the common languages for scripting, including CSS, HTML, and JavaScript. It has become easy to find resources with the skill set especially because this is based out of common languages. In Kony mobility platform Visualizer makes app development quick and easy. Tons of documentation online. Used Kony to develop an amazing app that serves our customers well. WYSIWYG interface is great for building interfaces quickly. Build and test quickly for many different targets. Read full review 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.

While working with large datasets, you can load data dynamically to reduce complexity and improve performance.

Read full review Alternatives Considered We evaluated variety of platforms like
Xamarin ,
Sencha , PhoneGap. When we were initially evaluating
Xamarin , it was not Microsoft and so the releases and features were not very streamlined. Also licensing was a issue with that.
Sencha was a very attractive cross mobile platform but was expensive. Just for handful of developers price was high. Ours is big enterprise so licensing costs became huge. PhoneGap is based out of open source Apache Cordova project and is completely free to use, which goes some way to explain its popularity. The enterprise version boasts marketing features via Adobe’s Marketing Cloud, so when it launches it will probably be monetized. Comparing with the features platform has to offer and the price tag attached to it, we narrowed down to using Kony.

Sencha 's] demo didn't seem to justify the price.
Read full review Return on Investment Positive on ROI. I'm constantly utilizing Kony since it's a robust tool capable of publishing. It also shares prototype creations of apps in a highly intuitive and customizable environment. It provides a preview of apps in real-time. Collaboration is seamless. Important functionality includes smartphone features (without any written code involved) and accessibility to a browser, maps, and SMS. Trying to understand the user manual can be challenging since there are way too many features available. All of them aren't really necessary for beginners. And they've yet to offer them in a "phased" approach. Read full review It saved us 1000s of USD for just using the Kanban Board instead of developing it from scratch. Read full review ScreenShots
