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 solution overall is very good."
"One valuable feature of Azure App Service for us is its integration with Azure DevOps, which we heavily rely on in our development process."
"I've used Microsoft Azure App Service quite a lot, and what I like best about it is that it's a serverless HAM, which is a feature that can run a function, a single function, but faster and more frequently without needing any other assistance. This has been what I found most valuable in Microsoft Azure App Service, the serverless option that's very easy to utilize, and you only need a minimal setup to use this and to enjoy the functionalities required, so the solution gives me a lot of comfort whenever I'm using it."
"The solution can scale."
"Azure data factory is a good tool."
"It allows you to host your App Service on Azure and provides the ability to bypass online."
"I'm a decision-maker, not a technician. From my perspective, the most significant advantage is that Azure is a one-stop shop. Everything we needed was included in the Microsoft Agreement. During COVID, it was the most convenient and most straightforward decision."
"The cost is reasonable."
"OutSystems is easy to use."
"The architecture of OutSystems is quite simple, and the features are similar to Mendix's. OutSystems has connectors for different enterprise apps and solid reporting capabilities. You can also integrate with any content management platform like SharePoint or Adobe Enterprise Manager, or something like that. You can also create and integrate workflows."
"We've used features like batch processing timers, components, and integrations with other systems like SAP, which have accelerated our development process.In terms of productivity, we've seen a 30 percent reduction in screen design time and an additional 10 percent improvement when implementing client requirements. OutSystems' integration capabilities have significantly enhanced our app's functionality, making it quicker and easier to connect with other systems."
"The most valuable feature is Agile development. I love that you save a lot of time on development and can focus on logic and business requirements."
"The product is mostly stable."
"The tool makes the development process easier."
"It is a stable solution, and the initial setup is straightforward."
"The flow editor is the most valuable feature. It is simple and intuitive, and it can guide you step-by-step."
"I would like to see some significant improvement in the technical support provision for this solution."
"There is always room for improvement price-wise."
"Microsoft Azure App Service needs some improvement in the scaling area."
"The setup is complex if you have no experience."
"The cost management of this solution could be better. We only receive estimations."
"In terms of room for improvement, ease of deployment would be an area that needs some focus. Azure does provide out-of-the-box deployment features, but I found that deploying to an App Service instance can be better in terms of more tools that could be available to perform a deployment."
"From an IoT use case perspective, we're all good, however, we should have additional plugins."
"Microsoft Azure App Service has a lot of complexity because there are a lot of options and functionality. It is simple to become confused, there are many technical elements to learn before you can utilize the solution. If they could make the solution easier to use it would be a benefit."
"The asynchronous processing and multithreading tasks for which the current resources of the platform are very generic and not built for the end-user. Any asynchronous jobs have to be constructed with an end-user dashboard to allow inspection of the status of the activities."
"I would like to see OutSystems improve its integration capabilities, especially with emerging technologies like AI and GPT."
"We had some lagging issues under high data loads, and the solution needed to be customized to improve this."
"The prices should be lower. It is a little bit too high for a small market."
"The solution is costly."
"It's difficult to do the component version control. I would like them to add more studying materials."
"The solution's testing framework needs to be improved, and the workflow should be slightly more mature."
"It needs improvement in the AI capability."
