IT analysts have identified a number of “must haves” for mobile development. Webalo, however, has changed the way these "must haves" are delivered so you can put enterprise data and functions on smartphones 100 times faster than you can with traditional mobile application development tools (MADTools).

	MADTools			Webalo
Developer Environment	SDKs, IDEs and other Java programming environments and tools	Complex development environments that require specialized skills	Increased time, cost and complexity of development, deployment and maintenance	Agenda environment	Simple administrator interface	Very low cost of operation plus rapid deployment
Support for multiple devices	Complexity of environment delays new device support	Ability to adopt new technologies is constrained	Creates hardware and carrier dependence	Simplicity of environment means that all new devices are supported	Immediate support for new devices	Hardware and carrier independent
Single configuration - multi-device deployment	Individual, device-specific native-code customization required	Extends development time	Delays time to deployment and increases maintenance burden	Automatically adapts to any smartphone UI	Immediate support for any Android, iPhone, BlackBerry, Symbian, Windows Mobile or other Java-enabled smartphone	Dramatically reduces cost of deployment
Hosting	Not available from most vendors	When available, only ASP model supported	Increases hardware and software costs	SaaS multi-tenant architecture or behind-the-firewall virtual appliance	Immediate availability	Dramatically reduces cost of operation
Integration	Requires direct programming or complex customization of off the shelf APIs	Relies on high-cost specialists' skills and vendor-specific lock-in	Increases time, cost, and complexity of development, deployment, and maintenance	Automatically supports any enterprise application that provides access via CSV, Excel, HTML/Javascript web pages, JDBC or XML Web services	Immediate support for any enterprise resource from IBM, Oracle, SAP, Microsoft, or any other vendors' software (including in-house applications)	Flexible and wide-ranging support for the entire enterprise
Security	Varies by platform and very open to programming error	Reliability is questionable	Not reliable	Built-in security protection at all levels	Server, transmission, and device side encryption and security	Reliable
Management Tools	Varies by platform	Generally requires third party add-ins	Increases time, cost, and complexity of development, deployment, and maintenance	Integrated management and deployment features	Testing, deployment, updates, and user management features integrated into Agenda environment	Easy-to-manage environment
