We performed a comparison between OutSystems and SAP Mobile Platform 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."OutSystems' best feature is that you can build tests with the flow, so even the tests are made in the PDD framework in a low-code way."
"I really like the one-click publish feature in OutSystems. In other development tools/languages, it's not as easy. I also like how easily I can manage all my projects in one place."
"We can do the validation before calling the API."
"It is a scalable solution...The initial setup of OutSystems is easy."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"It is a stable solution, and the initial setup is straightforward."
"One valuable feature of SAP Mobile Platform is its enterprise-grade standard and maintained APIs, available out of the box for easy integration with various systems."
"Technical support is helpful."
"Both platforms, the SAP Mobile Platform, and SAP, are highly valuable for our company because they facilitate integration, which can be expensive. It's very convenient to connect and create billing accounts through the SAP Mobile Platform."
"It's not that difficult to set up."
"Two of the very fascinating features that make SAP Mobile Platform stand out from other platforms are its offline capability and integration capability."
"The initial setup is not overly complex."
"The solution's testing framework needs to be improved, and the workflow should be slightly more mature."
"In OutSystems, cloud management is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"There are many tutorials available but they are very basic and good for learning the platform. To develop an enterprise-grade application, advanced tutorials need to be developed to help IT professionals design/develop high-quality/performance applications."
"Mobile apps should have been fully native."
"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."
"The installation is a bit tedious."
"The tutorials for the solution should be updated."
"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."
"The toolkit to develop front end applications, especially native applications, is not that good."
"The cost of the SAP Mobile Platform is high, and there is room for improvement in its pricing."
"SAP has announced that they'll be ending the support on the SAP platform."
"The licensing model is a bit dated."
"If it was low code or no code it would be ideal."
"One drawback is that SAP Mobile Platform apps are only available through the browser, making offline capability more challenging to implement."
