Cross Platform Tool Benchmarking 2014

The second global benchmarking for cross-platform tools and services constitutes a detailed comparison of 40 CP Tools based on 10 criteria which are essential for the selection of the right tool for an app project. In addition, the benchmarking report aggregates ratings and experience of 2,188 CPT users who have used more than 150 CP Tools. This makes the CPT Benchmarking the largest and most comprehensive evaluation of tools that support cross-platform app development. Since the last year, the market for CP Tools and services has become significantly more crowded. CPT vendors have started to put more emphasis on catering for the enterprise segment. CP Tools fall into 5 categories: App Factories, Web App Toolkits, Cross-Platform Integrated Development Environments (CP IDEs), CP IDEs for Enterprise (CP IDEs Enterprise), CP Compilers and CP Services. Android and iOS continue to be the most supported mobile platforms. WP8 is the platform which tops the wish list of CPT users. 36% state that they wish their CP Tool supported WP8. Overall, users of CP Tools are satisfied with their choice. This becomes evident in the way they have rated the CP Tools they use. 93% of all CPT users would recommend their tools to other app developers. One of the main reasons why app developers make use of CP Tools is to save time. 30% report they have realized 50% time savings thanks to their CP Tools. For the vast majority of app developers the use of CP Tools does not come at the cost of app quality. 81% claim that the quality of the apps developed with CP Tools is as good as or even better than apps developed with a native IDE . CP Tools are mainly used for app projects of shorter time span. 73% of app projects realized with a CP Tool last three months or less. 17% needed only a few weeks or even days to be completed. Short project duration is in line with the average project budget that a CPT user spends.
