We performed a comparison between Jitterbit Vinyl and OutSystems based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Low-Code Development Platforms solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The product is super fast at getting things done."
"It's extremely easy to use in getting into the IDE and then back down to your applications, and getting from your applications to your pages, and navigating through all your tables. That's very simple and pretty intuitive."
"There are a lot of low-code development tools out there, but VINYL has the ability to connect to just about any data source out there, if an API exists for it and can be leveraged. We have even partnered with them at times to work with third-party vendors to develop APIs on our own, if there wasn't an API that exists for it."
"Vinyl has been a game changer in how we can now quickly deploy key features and new products."
"We find it is easy to learn and use, and the user interface is easy to pick up. We have trained some of our own people to be able to do apps with VINYL. Therefore, we can turn things around quickly."
"It's like breaking apart coding and development into an ultra-configuration tool... It really is flexible."
"The ZPM system enables us to organize projects and monitor their progress. The ease of logging into the VINYL app to test new features makes testing smoother, and we feel more involved in the creation of the app and its functions at every step of the way."
"Valuable features include the ability to connect to disparate data sources, the workflow engine, and the speed and agility in building apps."
"The most valuable feature of OutSystems with discipline and the development processes. Instead of each developer doing tasks on their own with their own approach, et cetera, the solution would help bring some organization to the development process."
"In terms of user support and community engagement, I rate the tool a ten out of ten."
"The technical support is perfect."
"We have no complaints surrounding both the scalability and stability of this solution."
"The scalability of OutSystems is very good, it scales automatically very useful for us."
"It is a stable solution, and the initial setup is straightforward."
"It is very stable."
"It provides for faster development and better software releases."
"When you are trying to delete certain columns or delete or drop tables, it will throw an error and it will force you to hunt down every location where those things are being referenced. You have to delete them from the very end and work your way backward... It would be easier, when you're deleting that table, if it would concatenate all the way down."
"I would like them to build out more tools for communication, particularly the ability to do a multinode panel via email."
"There are a lot of almost "hidden" features captured in these Edge Case settings... If you want a scroll bar at the bottom, instead of having it select rows to show, you have to select Disable Panel Location Service, which doesn't sound at all like what it's supposed to do. Naming conventions could be changed a little bit."
"Once or twice, when a new version of VINYL comes out, it has had a negative impact on a feature. However, we do everything in a test environment. Unless we miss something in test, we don't go live with it if it isn't perfect. Zudy hasn't had too many stumbles along the way, but there have been a couple times, and it's been minor."
"I would love to have the home screen a little more customizable because, as we're building more and more reports, it would be nice to have more options in how they're organized on the screen."
"It might help if they put out different types that would provide different ways to view the data. I'd like to see more on that."
"Having been a customer of theirs for a long time, I think the UI needed improvements early on. But, they have done a remarkable job catching up in that regard."
"The documentation isn't everything it could be, and the user forum is not always the most helpful."
"The integration Studio could be improved. It needs a tool in which we could develop C# code and then integrate into OutSystems. The application could have a better UI."
"The product's high price is an area of concern, where improvements are required."
"The solution's testing framework needs to be improved, and the workflow should be slightly more mature."
"I would like to see OutSystems improve its integration capabilities, especially with emerging technologies like AI and GPT."
"Since we first started using OutSystems, they switched their language support from Java and .NET to .NET only, which was a bit of a surprise. Their language support could be better in this sense, although on our resource side it is now a bit more flexible."
"We have performance issues while fetching bulk data."
"I have difficulty in using several new features. Some of the product's features are tricky to use as well."
"The product could be improved if there was a shortcut, or predefined, predictable templates provided."
