Sencha

We chose it because we need a framework to build rich internet applications especially to build business applications. We also looked for a tool that was very well established in the market with the first version released more than 10 years ago. We also didn't want to change the framework periodically.

It's great to develop business applications. Previously, we tried different technologies but we find it the most suitable for us. We also deploy a generic backend so we don't need to install anything new to implement new applications. This helps us to develop very fast and with very low effort.

Sencha is currently being used by pretty much my whole department. Some basic feature that attracted the org to adopt sencha were:

• It's a complete solution - no more figuring out solutions from 10 different places
• They have a support model in place in case one hits road blocks
• It's a future proof technology as it's based on html5 and javascript
• It would be easy to build on mobile platforms as it's already embedded into the framework

Sencha is suited for:

• Enterprise applications that are really huge
• Development happens on huge teams, on-shore an offshore model, one can divide and conquer by splitting in modules easily
• Budget is not a constraint

It's not uited for:

• Small budget applications
• Not too many components are needed
• Static or less dynamic content based websites
• Turnaround time is shorter and developers have to spin something around in a short duration of time
