We performed a comparison between OutSystems and QuickBase based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Rapid Application Development Software solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The drag-and-drop feature is very valuable."
"The scalability of OutSystems is very good, it scales automatically very useful for us."
"We have no complaints surrounding both the scalability and stability of this solution."
"In terms of user support and community engagement, I rate the tool a ten out of ten."
"For me, the most valuable feature is the flexibility the tools give us to change any customer requirements on the fly, when we are in a meeting. I also like how easy it is to deploy the code between environments and how easy it is to integrate OutSystems with other systems."
"OutSystems is easy to use."
"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."
"Scalability proved to be an exceptionally beneficial feature."
"Considering factors like functionality and price, the product proves to be worth the investment."
"The usability of QuickBase largely depends on how you design your workflows within the platform. If you keep them simple and straightforward, it can be a highly usable product."
"There's a lot of stability in QuickBase...I really appreciate the processing part of QuickBase, especially considering how we're able to get information in real time instead of having to wait."
"It has helped streamline and simply track status and collection of data from suppliers and other internal departments."
"Creating applications in Quickbase will take, literally, a fraction of the time it would take to create them in other database applications (which shall remain unnamed)."
"It provides a well-organized method for overseeing everything, especially considering the remote work aspect."
"It is low-code. We are able to go in and create apps quickly. It is very helpful for the size of our company. We're a mid-size company, and at this moment, we don't need anything externally. We don't have to go out and consult a consulting firm to build something from the ground up. So, the ease of that and being able to get development quickly up and running has been good for us."
"We have made good use of the ability in QuickBase to add multiple apps for various departments and purposes, while some apps are shared."
"It's difficult to do the component version control. I would like them to add more studying materials."
"The technical features are good, but the actual commercialization is out of reach."
"OutSystems could improve by being more like GitHub. It would be more helpful for us for division management and version control for our application."
"There is room for improvement in technical support."
"The solution's testing framework needs to be improved, and the workflow should be slightly more mature."
"Currently, in mobile applications, we don't have push notifications."
"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."
"I like the OutSystems platform. I am working on integrating it with another platform using APIs, however, it has proven to be difficult. The main issue I am facing is obtaining authorization tokens as well as access and refresh tokens. It may be due to my lack of knowledge of APIs as it is new to me."
"Its UI needs improvement. They should improve it and make it a little bit more modern. We should also be able to have more real-time information that connects with other software platforms. It has an open API, but it doesn't always connect with some of the other platforms that we would like to utilize. These are probably two of the biggest things for us, and hopefully, they will keep ensuring that in the future, they continually build QuickBase to be a little bit more efficient in that regard."
"Whenever we do onboarding, or we get new employees, there tends to be a delay of not just a week but a couple of weeks, and sometimes even a few weeks of being able to see certain new employees in the system."
"When learning QuickBase, I noticed a shift in its cost structure. It operated on a cost-efficient model tied to the number of users, with invoicing based on applicants."
"I would like to see the reporting enhanced because some of them are not easy to generate."
"This rule: The Maximum is 60 rules. We need to provide more in order to improve."
"The product works constantly to modernize the platform and they have made quite a lot of strides in that. I would like them to add additional features that would help us make API calls."
"I would like to see better options for producing paper reports from Quick Base, rather than viewing things exclusively on screen."
"The improved developer interface in some areas can be difficult to use for complex items."
