Speed of Developing/Updating Apps [+] Show / Hide Details |
Alpha Anywhere has a unique coding optional architecture which allows you to get most of your app built with no coding, but also allows you to code on both the client-side (using JavaScript) and server-side (using Node.JS, any dot Net language of xBasic). |
Mendix uses a different model for development which simply takes longer than developing in Alpha Anywhere |
Ease of Data Integration (Powerful API) |
|
|
Built-in (No Coding Needed) Robust Offline Capability [+] Show / Hide Details |
Alpha Anywhere has a patent pending robust offline capability built-in, with data synchronization and intelligent conflict resolution included. Citizen developers can implement this functionality without code with one button to press.. |
Building enterprise level offline support in Mendix, along with data synchronization, requires a skilled developer who has to write a significant amount of code. NOTE: According to Gartner and Forrester, 90% of mobile enterprise apps need to work in situations where at least some of the time, there is weak signal or no signal. |
Built-in Client-Side and Server-Side Analytics and Reporting [+] Show / Hide Details |
Alpha Anywhere includes a built-in banded report writer for server-side reporting. It also includes server-side charting. Client-side templating reports and charting can also be generated and viewed offline on a mobile device. |
Mendix only offers server-side reporting and charting. |
Built-in (No Coding Needed) Handling and Storage of Large Image, Audio and Video Files [+] Show / Hide Details |
Alpha Anywhere allows images to be stored in either local storage or in the device’s file system. Media files can be transferred directly between the device and Amazon S3 without going through an application server. |
Mendix requires coding for this capability. |
Built-in Mobile Optimized Forms Builder [+] Show / Hide Details |
Alpha Anywhere includes mobile optimized form technology. Mobile optimized forms speed data capture for workers who work standing up with features like: larger buttons or swipe capabilities for one-handed input; customized keyboards for numbers-only data fields, stop watches for time capture, digital ink, and image capture and annotation that can be done without a stylus. |
Mendix does not offer custom keyboards or other mobile optimized controls. |
Predictable Pricing [+] Show / Hide Details |
Alpha Anywhere offers transparent pricing based on the number of application servers needed for deployment – not the number of Alpha Anywhere users. |
|
Alpha Anywhere speeds development for all users. It does the routine coding for experienced developers, and builds the apps for citizen developers. The software also has built-in genies that speed data integration, offline capability and security. But, Alpha Anywhere always gives developers the ability to add code, if needed. We call this "coding-optional."
Alpha Anywhere is the emerging standard for enterprises looking to help IT developers increase their pipeline while empowering business users to build sophisticated, web and mobile business apps fast.
Why does Alpha Anywhere consistently get perfect scores from customers?
When you're evaluating these systems you'll hear a lot of good things, but you're not always getting the full story. Here are some questions you should ask to be sure you're geting all the facts.
When you hear: "We do offline."
Understand that all "offline" capabilities are not equal. Be sure to ask:
If the answer is "No," then it means your apps will likely have severe limitations that could hurt your ability to intelligently capture store and sync data.
When you hear: "We serve citizen developers."
You can't expect business users to code to build or deploy their apps, or productivity will suffer. Be sure to ask:
If the answer is "No," you'll likely burn a lot of time and money on data integration and security issues.
When you hear: "Our apps are cross-platform."
Understand that responsive isn't necessarily cross-platform. Be sure to ask:
If the answer is "No," then users experience will most likely not have a native-like experience on the apps.
"The platform has shown me how easy it can be to build enterprise-grade, mission-critical apps. My colleagues are telling me I deserve a 'Best Programmer Award,' but the real honor goes to Alpha Software."
"Alpha Anywhere ticked all the boxes. It offered numerous out-of-the-box advantages, of which offline-capability on mobile devices was the most significant --- most other platforms didn't have that capability built-in."
"If I had used a tool rather than Alpha Anywhere, it would have taken me twice as long to launch Fast Mirror, and possibly miss a market opportunity."
“Alpha Software has robust enterprise integration capabilities & rich client-side workflow & custom logic creation in its coding-optional development tool...”
