It is definitely interesting timing that Apple’s change of their developer agreement banning some app analytics, comes as we announce the beta release of the AppClix Enterprise Server.
One of the things that makes many developers uncomfortable is compiling dependencies into their apps that they have no control over. Many also don’t want their data aggregated and shared with the world. On top of that, they want control of their infrastructure, and to be responsible for any downtime that might occur.
With that in mind, we created a version of AppClix that can be installed by the developer on their own servers. Our Enterprise platform consists of a small network of servers that interact with each other to create a full analytics collection and reporting solution.
We also offer “CloudClix” which is a dedicated solution hosted on the Amazon EC2 virtual cloud. There will be a more detailed post on this shortly.
With the recent changes in Apples Developer Agreement, we are going to put together a small single server solution as well to accommodate smaller developers who do not need the full scalability of the Enterprise version.
We are also creating a 14 day free trial license. If you are interested, please contact us.
Here are a few reasons (from our web site) why a number of developers are looking for their own solution:
No Third-Party dependency compiled into Your Application
I don’t know about you, but I got a little uncomfortable when I submitted an app with a library to a third-party service that may not be around tomorrow compiled into it.
Does anyone remember AppLoop?
For those of you who don’t know, AppLoop was one of the first analytics platforms and they closed their doors. Imagine compiling code into your applications for a service that no longer exists!
Now, we don’t plan on going out of business, but it is nice to have that piece of mind knowing that you won’t need to issue updates for all your applications if we did.
You are in control.
You never have to worry about not being in control of your hardware and network. Possible unforeseen downtime of the AppClix hosted platform would have no affect on your services.
Your data resides in your own dedicated database and is not subject to our aggregation and public summary reporting that we might offer as a product or service. Your data is owned and controlled by you and only you.
You have complete control over your traffic and aggregation. You choose how often to summarize the data, and how to configure the AppClix service.
Unlimited Scalability
You can scale your network at any time to meet your needs. If your traffic grows to the point where you need more power, you can simply purchase an additional “collection server” license for a small fee.
Private Label Dashboard
The user dashboard can be branded as you see fit. Your logo and graphics can be used to match your company’s look and feel.
While you can’t start an application analytics company, you can provide AppClix services to your customers as a value added service. Create logins and accounts just as we do, within your AppClix platform.
Personal API Access
Create your own front-end or integrate AppClix into your existing applications or customer dashboards.
You have complete access to the AppClix API. The same API we use to provide data to our Dashboard.
No Ongoing Monthly Costs
You are not incurring monthly costs. You own the license and can use it for as long as possible for a single license fee!
Updates and Upgrades
Minor updates and upgrades are included for the first year, and available for a small annual support fee after that. Take advantage of new features as we release them.
