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 product is mostly stable."
"It provides for faster development and better software releases."
"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."
"OutSystems' low-cost approach has positively impacted our productivity, because we were able to develop faster with OutSystems, enabling us to implement many changes during our sprint."
"In terms of user support and community engagement, I rate the tool a ten out of ten."
"Reduces the manual labor in compiling and deploying applications and generating procedural code (by reducing development bureaucracy/processes, resulting in real gains). The LifeTime Server approach, requiring just a few steps to publish applications in production environments, is fantastic."
"One thing I like about OutSystems is that there's no lock-in. You can keep running your applications because it's on .NET and hosted centrally. That's one of the advantages I see there in terms of not having an IT strategy that has a dependency on a particular platform."
"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 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."
"The reporting tool: It helps in data analytics to provide the solution more efficiency."
"We have made good use of the ability in QuickBase to add multiple apps for various departments and purposes, while some apps are shared."
"This solution has provided for Rapid deployment of data collection tools, replacing spreadsheets with near real-time data."
"The product is easy to use."
"The need for little to no code knowledge has been huge."
"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."
"Considering factors like functionality and price, the product proves to be worth the investment."
"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."
"I would like to see OutSystems improve its integration capabilities, especially with emerging technologies like AI and GPT."
"The product could be improved if there was a shortcut, or predefined, predictable templates provided."
"OutSystems could improve by being more like GitHub. It would be more helpful for us for division management and version control for our application."
"OutSystems does not provide any native reporting resources. All reports must be created with other tools or as a webpage."
"Writing custom code still needs to be done via Integration Studio. This might have been added to the IDE."
"I have difficulty in using several new features. Some of the product's features are tricky to use as well."
"The tool needs to improve the efficiency of its widgets."
"Third-party integration -- they are working on it and I find their brand-new still-in-beta Webhooks very promising."
"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."
"Unfortunately, there is still no new report formatting available natively, and would still require 3rd party developers to help with that. ."
"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."
"They could enhance the ability to link records between tables directly without the need for additional automation to increase space and time."
"Access to more standard default layouts and sample builds would be useful, and access to more training on use and flexibility."
"I would like to see the reporting enhanced because some of them are not easy to generate."
