Quick cross platform option.
What do you like best about Appcelerator?
Single language for cross platform apps. Single source code, with minor tweaks. Integrates well with source control. Smooth prototype to production. I am able to make a change and see it immediately on the live view, I don't have to refresh, just "Save". The ability to use a language like JS allows a quick build and deploy. If I have a question the community base of JS allows me to look around and find my answer relatively quickly.
What do you dislike about Appcelerator?
IDE can be slow. Updates didn't always work. Since the acquisition by Axway some added stability has improved. Some of the UI build features which come standard in other IDE's are only available in the higher tiers, while this was not a deal breaker because of LiveView, it is something that can be improved.
Recommendations to others considering Appcelerator?
Give it a try. It is not a hybrid. The speed from prototype to final product is smoother and easier than any other multi-platform system I have used.
What problems is Appcelerator solving and how is that benefiting you?
Single code base for cross platform applications. With small differences both major platforms can be built quickly with native look and feel. The live view allows a quick change to be shown quickly. If I need to make color changes, or text size changes with the customer in attendance, I can go over it quickly which allows both of us to have input on the final product. They are happy and get the app out faster.

Best Platform to develop the cross platform
What do you like best about Appcelerator?
This is the best choice to develop the cross platform applications.With the single javascript code we can develop the apps.If the app is developed for android we can reuse the 60% of the code in ios and other platforms.
What do you dislike about Appcelerator?
App designer is a very good approach to develop the screens visually.but we need to develop the each device separately like iphone 4s,iphone 5 and iphone 6 separately we need figure out alternatives, with single screen we need to complete for all devices.
What problems is Appcelerator solving and how is that benefiting you?
Right now we are developing the apps for ios.

Breaking into the world of Mobile Apps using Native Web Technologies
What do you like best about Appcelerator?
That I can take the knowledge I already know about HTML, CSS, JS, Backbone and apply it to mobile apps. I also love that it's not just a web app wrapped in a web view. It's an actual Native Mobile Application that works for iOS and Android. I specifically use the Alloy.js Framework that Appcelerator has created.
What do you dislike about Appcelerator?
My only dislike would be the lack of Windows Phone Support and the lack of any game development.
Recommendations to others considering Appcelerator?
For native mobile applications, this is the way to go. I would not recommend this for game development. I have built 4 data-drive dynamic Mobile Applications for both iOS and Android that are super easy to maintain.
What problems is Appcelerator solving and how is that benefiting you?
The main business problem that this helps us solve is the inability to hire talent that is sufficiently skilled in iOS or Android Development. Titanium Appcelerator allowed all of our current web developers to jump right in and start making apps.

A streamlined way to develop for multiple platforms
What do you like best about Appcelerator?
Titanium is probably the easiest way for web developers to become mobile developers, and create native apps that are fast, reliable and responsive. Coming from a primarily front-end html/css/javascript background, the language and structure were all quite familiar and relatively easy to pick up. From memory, I was up and running within days, and released my first appcelerator app within 2 months - making the #1 spot in the category for a few weeks over the Summer.
What do you dislike about Appcelerator?
Recommendations to others considering Appcelerator?
The community surrounding this product is also exceptional, as is the support. I've been to a few Titanium conferences, and the people that use this product are all extremely passionate (and smart). So in short, you're going to feel very welcomed and supported when you join in the online (and offline) discussion.
What problems is Appcelerator solving and how is that benefiting you?
The IDE itself is a little lacklustre in it's appearance. You really feel like a developer as the interface is so utilitarian and cold. Once you get past the appearances you find that there's a very clean and easy to use tool underneath. Appcelerator sure could do with a good UI designer though.

Great cross platform tool, easy to extend the API to fit your needs
What do you like best about Appcelerator?
With the Appcelerator Platform I am able to build a cross platform application (from one code base project) with extensive native API reach. I love that Appcelerator apps run on the native JS core for the respective platform, making the code I write run more efficiently with less lag than some of the other web offerings for cross platform capabilities. For me, the ability to extend the API is key to our success using the platform. We have unique needs for custom hardware and we were able to write custom native modules to integrate our hardware API into the Appcelerator JS layer. I also use the Alloy MVC framework quite heavily and really like the widgets feature of the platform. We write widgets for UI and core logic to be shared with all applications within our organization. This cuts down on code duplication and speeds up the time to market for new projects. Also a time saver for developers is the integration of Genymotion to the development studio. We have found the native Android emulator to be an impediment to development and Genymotion fills that gap nicely. Genymotion requires only a plugin to eclipse, which is compatible with Appcelerator studio. The extensive developer community is another reason we chose Appcelerator. Its quite easy to find answers online from other users, or ask a question yourself and you will receive an answer in a timely manner. We also subscribe to the paid support access and will ask project specific or critical time sensitive questions there. We have had a good experience with their support staff, if they are not able to solve our problem or find that there is a bug int he API a JIRA ticket is filed and fixed typically in the next patch release.
What do you dislike about Appcelerator?
With any development suite you will run into bugs. Appcelerator is no exception to this. We tend to wait a few weeks after a new major API version to let the bugs get worked out and usually take up work with a new version upon release of the first patch update. Sometimes it can be a waiting game for a certain new platform features to be implemented into the Appcelerator Platform API; Unless of course you, or someone out in the developer community creates a module or widget to expose that functionality. The documentation can sometimes be incomplete or out of date. They recently opened up their documentation to the open source community for contribution so hopefully time will bridge this gap.

What problems is Appcelerator solving and how is that benefiting you?
The enterprise subscription can be expensive. The cost is based on head count with access to the dashboard and development features. In comparison to our previous vendor the cost is not based on application deployed so we save on being able to deploy multiple applications and future growth. The value is in the features and services that we get from our subscription as opposed to the cost going into maintaining the servers hosting the UI for each individual app as with some other offerings.
