Considered Both Products	Adobe Jon Marr Owner in Information Technology at JMarr Design Studio (Entertainment, 1-10 employees) Chose Adobe AIR Originally, Adobe AIR was the only game in town, and its blend of flexibility in platforms it could publish to (PC, Mac, iOS, Android), ease of use, and familiarity made it the clear choice. Now Adobe no longer supports it, and we’ve found the transition to Harmon unworkable … Incentivized Helpful? Marilyn Rodriguez Owner/Art Director at Art in Motion Graphic Design LLC (Design, 1-10 employees) Chose Adobe AIR We already use all the other Adobe products so it was an easy choice to use AIR for our programming type of programs. As we used it more, we found that it was very simple to learn/the learning curve was not very steep at all. We honestly didn't look at any other options, … Incentivized Helpful? John Mihaila Software Manager in Information Technology at Santa Clara (Government Administration, 10,001+ employees) Chose Adobe AIR Adobe AIR does not support Windows phones but works well on both Android and Apple iOS. It enables developers to build and deploy good quality applications to mobile platforms for a majority of mobile users and allows developers to build working prototypes in a relatively … Incentivized Helpful? Yosef Ing Director of Social Media in Social Media at GayTravel (Airlines/Aviation, 11-50 employees) Chose Adobe AIR There are definitely other platforms out there that are awesome but Adobe AIR is just what our other developers were used to using but we do have some success. Incentivized Helpful? Chris Cookson Junior Animator in Social Media at MediaMonks (Animation, 201-500 employees) Chose Adobe AIR Generally stacks up fairly negatively, program definitely has its place, I appreciate what it can allow but now most desktop apps are fine enough as browser based experiences or for personal use mobile is the way to go. Air isn't the best environment for that. Incentivized Helpful? William Alvarez Inside Sales Support Associate in Sales at Vinson Process Controls (Oil & Energy, 1001-5000 employees) Chose Adobe AIR Appcelerator is open source and is very good, but my company wanted something more business-oriented and with more formal support. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Adobe AIR Originally, Adobe Air was a great choice for us to build mobile titles from prior web titles when compared to tools such as native iOS with cocos2d. We were able to get games stood up much faster than our competition and out to market to make money. That said, as Unity improved … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Adobe AIR Adobe AIR is more friendly to a serious programmer because it supports core programming methodology in a way that Unity does not. Both AIR and Unity have a hidden underlying layer of event management code that can add performance costs. However, Unity is more friendly to a … Incentivized Helpful? Thomas Gorence Software Developer in Engineering at Intelity (Entertainment, 11-50 employees) Chose Adobe AIR Since Adobe AIR can be used with the Flash IDE, there are not many other solutions with such a robust toolset. The ability to import layered photoshop files directly onto the stage, and then ability to animate and create movieclips within that IDE is an extremely valuable … Incentivized Helpful?
