We performed a comparison between Microsoft Azure App Service 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."The user interface and the ability to quickly develop are the two main advantages of Microsoft Azure App Service. You can develop anything without having any coding experience and it is not complex and the components are easily customizable."
"The program is stable and we've had no technical issues so far."
"The solution can scale."
"What I found most valuable in Microsoft Azure App Service is that it's a PaaS. I also like that it supports Docker and multiple frameworks so that you can work on Java, Ruby on Rails, PHP, and Python."
"The best feature is scalability, which allows you to target potential clients worldwide by connecting the application to a local server. This makes the application readily accessible, and the response time will be much better."
"The Logic Apps and Azure functions are very robust."
"Azure data factory is a good tool."
"Some of the features I found valuable are auto-scaling, SSL integration, cost-effectiveness, and the certificates provided by Microsoft Azure App Service."
"It is easy to use."
"Integrations with external systems with SOAP and REST are easy to implement off-the-shelf, but a developer can always implement specific libraries for other integrations."
"Their out-of-the-box UI is quite good."
"The tool makes the development process easier."
"Once built, web/mobile components can be reused in all new developments. In addition, the OutSystems Forge is very useful. We can exchange components and even already-built applications, reducing costs to build specific solutions."
"The solution helps to build mobile and web applications on SOAP and REST. You can integrate it with backend systems by submitting a code."
"It is much easier to develop applications with the product’s IDE."
"We can do the validation before calling the API."
"In terms of improvement, the technical support could be better."
"Sometimes customer service and support can be challenging."
"I would like to see some significant improvement in the technical support provision for this solution."
"From an IoT use case perspective, we're all good, however, we should have additional plugins."
"Initially, there were some rare instances when the server went down because it was deployed on Linux."
"I want more transparency in billing. It would be better if we could understand and control the billing to customize it. Also, Microsoft should provide more guidance about the widgets and subsets of various products. The Microsoft portfolio is so huge that it's sometimes difficult to choose the correct option. There's always a chance we are paying more than necessary."
"Having a surplus of tutorials from Microsoft, rather than relying solely on documentation or features from other sources like YouTube, can be beneficial."
"There is always room for improvement price-wise."
"The documentation needs to be more robust."
"The PDD framework can't be used for the behavioral-driven development way of working."
"OutSystems could improve by being more like GitHub. It would be more helpful for us for division management and version control for our application."
"I would like to see improvements in versioning. It can be challenging to keep track of what changes should be committed, especially when many developers are working in one environment."
"In my opinion, the support and the pricing could be better."
"Writing custom code still needs to be done via Integration Studio. This might have been added to the IDE."
"I would like to see OutSystems improve its integration capabilities, especially with emerging technologies like AI and GPT."
"It needs improvement in the AI capability."
