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."I find it to be a genuinely cool and effective platform for my development needs."
"The drag-and-drop feature is very valuable."
"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."
"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 most valuable features of OutSystems are the user-friendly platform. The drag-and-drop feature is great. I have used other rapid application development tools before, but they were not as advanced as OutSystems. With the previous tools, I had to manually build certain features, but OutSystems does it automatically."
"I like the mobile features the most, and there are also various features around the portal we created that I enjoy."
"The most valuable feature of OutSystems is the drag and drop and toolchains in the small AI developing environment. Additionally, the documentation is helpful."
"The most important features of this tool are its visual modeling capabilities and drag and drop functionality. You can see what you are coding which makes it easy to understand and maintain. They have also created a big revolution in digital transformation by introducing native mobile app development under the same IDE."
"This solution is useful for business process management if you have any banking solutions or need to manage a process."
"Allowed us to develop and quickly release with confidence using cloud technologies."
"The case management functionality of this solution has been most valuable."
"The solution's most valuable feature is its quick setup. Nowhere else you can create a good-looking application this quick. It's a fairly robust system."
"Application development is very rapid. A lot of code gets reused while building the applications, which is something we highly appreciate."
"This is a customizable product."
"The most valuable feature of Pega BPM is step-by-step voice guidance that converts your problem statement into different diagrams and then implements the process."
"The solution is operating well overall."
"There is room for improvement in technical support."
"Currently, in mobile applications, we don't have push notifications."
"I have difficulty in using several new features. Some of the product's features are tricky to use as well."
"Mobile apps should have been fully native."
"We have performance issues while fetching bulk data."
"In OutSystems, cloud management is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The tool needs to improve the efficiency of its widgets."
"Writing custom code still needs to be done via Integration Studio. This might have been added to the IDE."
"It is scalable, but it also interacts with a lot of other systems. I think they thought that the interface to other systems, legacy systems, was its strength, but when problems do occur, quickly diagnosing those problems has been a challenge."
"To learn Pega, you need to be a partner. If someone just wants to learn Pega for the sake of learning, they won't be able to do so as they don't give access to that."
"The cost of licensing could be improved."
"The biggest thing I have seen is when going from one version to another and upgrading to the latest version, it takes a pretty long time for an organization to go through an upgrade process. I think that's an area where they can make it a little smoother."
"Pega Cloud early adoption and use for cross enterprise capability was new to many. The early adoption meant version 2.0 of their cloud service may require refactoring and redesign of some services."
"They need to support the solution better, at this time the company does not have enough support."
"What should be included is some UI features and maybe some integrations. This includes documentation on how the UI works."
"There are some UX shortcomings within the solution. However, it's my understanding that they have addressed them and in the next three months they will come out with a new updated version. They will be moving away from HTML5."
