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 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."
"The drag-and-drop feature is very valuable."
"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."
"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."
"There is literally a ton of stuff it can do. It's very flexible."
"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."
"We can do the validation before calling the API."
"Speed of delivery: We were able to reduce development time by 30%."
"The solution's flexibility and quick turnaround are valuable."
"Zoho Creator can be integrated with other platforms easily."
"Zoho Creator is a flexible open platform that is good for development in a complex environment that other platforms may not support. It isn't a challenge for me to develop any kind of complex application in Zoho."
"Zoho Creator helps to maintain the products in development."
"Can access information from other Zoho packages and you can write custom scripts."
"While using Zoho Creator, we can establish alternative interfaces to connect with Zoho applications. This enables us to run desired automation and workflows without exhausting the API limits."
"It has a simple user interface, not so difficult to use. You can add AI models, integration, and third-party connections."
"We can create multiple applications simultaneously with it."
"Currently, in mobile applications, we don't have push notifications."
"The installation is a bit tedious."
"The product's high price is an area of concern, where improvements are required."
"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."
"Mobile apps need improvement."
"The tutorials for the solution should be updated."
"I have difficulty in using several new features. Some of the product's features are tricky to use as well."
"OutSystems could improve by being more like GitHub. It would be more helpful for us for division management and version control for our application."
"Sometimes technical support does not answer our queries."
"The platform's technical support services need improvement."
"When you're developing database-type applications, there is no way to see the actual database tables. They call them forms, and I don't like that. Zoho should also provide better user guides."
"They still don't have a PDF conversion feature."
"We face issues while moving from one form to another form. We have a negative impression of the tool's support since they do not provide us assistance with our queries. They don't have solid answers to our questions."
"Zoho Creator could benefit from improvement in regard to the user interface and user experience of the forms. The forms themselves could benefit from being made more interactive, with increased flexibility and customization options for both developers and users. This would allow for a more engaging experience when interacting with the forms and provide more opportunities for customization to meet individual needs and preferences."
"We are looking for a single portal across all Zoho apps."
"The product needs to improve stability and scalability. We faced issues with bugs."
