We performed a comparison between Apple Xcode and OutSystems based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Mobile Development Platforms solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It is complete and relevant to the job at hand."
"It is stable and user-friendly."
"The tool's most valuable features are debugging and code management."
"Xcode is pretty smart. It's easy to set up and works perfectly on Android."
"We like the ease of access and navigation that this solution provides."
"Xcode has quite a bit of code error checking built-in, which is great. It also goes a step further and suggests fixes."
"The most valuable feature of Apple Xcode is that it is up to date."
"Reduces the manual labor in compiling and deploying applications and generating procedural code (by reducing development bureaucracy/processes, resulting in real gains). The LifeTime Server approach, requiring just a few steps to publish applications in production environments, is fantastic."
"In terms of user support and community engagement, I rate the tool a ten out of ten."
"It is a scalable solution...The initial setup of OutSystems is easy."
"It is easy to use."
"OutSystems is a low-code solution. Most features are like drag-and-drop, so it's pretty easy to work. Thus it helps the organization by saving time for developers."
"Their out-of-the-box UI is quite good."
"The drag-and-drop feature is very valuable."
"We can do the validation before calling the API."
"There is a drag-and-drop visual system, but as soon as you do something dynamic, then you are unable to use it."
"As Apple has introduced more and more features on top of Xcode, it sometimes, but very rarely, hangs."
"There should be additional documentation on App Store deployment. In terms of features, they're pretty much on top of where they need to go. I've been happy with its progress so far. As things evolve, they need to evolve to match that need."
"It is a bit challenging to sign in."
"It consists of multiple components and needs a simplified process. This particular area could be more stable."
"We would like a 'light' version of this solution to be developed, as it currently uses a lot of memory space."
"The size of Apple Xcode could improve. It is too large."
"The initial setup is a little difficult."
"The solution's testing framework needs to be improved, and the workflow should be slightly more mature."
"Mobile apps need improvement."
"We'd like OutSystems to add stronger workflow-based automation similar to what Appian offers. It needs more workflow modeling and RPA features."
"I would like to see OutSystems improve its integration capabilities, especially with emerging technologies like AI and GPT."
"The new version could be improved."
"One of the biggest areas for improvement is that every time an existing data element is modified, it creates a new data element. It doesn't really modify that particular data element. So, a user has to follow an extra step of removing the existing data element and bringing in the new and modified data element that is being added, which sort of goes into negative productivity."
"I have difficulty in using several new features. Some of the product's features are tricky to use as well."
