It provides access management for the enterprise user as well as for the consumer.

We were actually using different components. However, this product provides all the components in one platform, so that is why we switched to this.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"Game testing and the API for apps are good."

"Ability to use different frameworks."

"IBM MobileFirst has one of the most feature-rich admin panels."

"With help of this product, we have been able to develop mobile applications without having complete knowledge of each mobile OS's native programming technology. App development, delivery, and code management have been very efficient using this product."

"I like Its capability for developing hybrid applications, with an ability to integrate device-native code as well"

Cons

"Lacking capability options that can be directly integrated."

"Their pricing structure is complicated and can be improved."

"I would like to see improved support for native device functions."

"There are issues with push notifications, especially for Windows mobile apps. JSONStore also crashes abruptly at times."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is complicated. It's in the middle."

"Cost depends upon various factors. Size of the overall application and product usage matter a lot. For an enterprise-grade application, this certainly comes out as an economical solution. However, for small-scale applications, it can turn out to be on the higher side."
