Although custom app software development service has many advantages, it also comes with certain disadvantages. For instance, custom app development requires high level of programming expertise, which most companies do not possess. Further, app development requires hiring of highly experienced developers. This, however, can prove to be an expensive option for large-scale enterprises. Most companies prefer to go for web based app development, which requires lesser amounts of training and less money spent. Apart from this, there are other disadvantages of software development that include lack of security and lack of scalability. Web based software is much more secure than the software developed using custom software development methods, as web applications are developed on the back-end. Hence, end-user security is more assured and the possibility of having your data stolen or compromised is very low. Furthermore, due to the large scale of the mobile industry, software developers often use complex coding languages that are difficult to code in a dedicated manner.
