We performed a comparison between Apple Xcode and OutSystems 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."Xcode is pretty smart. It's easy to set up and works perfectly on Android."
"The most valuable feature of Apple Xcode is that it is up to date."
"The tool's most valuable features are debugging and code management."
"It is complete and relevant to the job at hand."
"Xcode has quite a bit of code error checking built-in, which is great. It also goes a step further and suggests fixes."
"We like the ease of access and navigation that this solution provides."
"It is stable and user-friendly."
"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 scratch coding is useful. The solution is easy to understand."
"In terms of user support and community engagement, I rate the tool a ten out of ten."
"The solution helps to build mobile and web applications on SOAP and REST. You can integrate it with backend systems by submitting a code."
"It provides for faster development and better software releases."
"OutSystems is a low-code solution. Most features are like drag-and-drop, so it's pretty easy to work. Thus it helps the organization by saving time for developers."
"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."
"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."
"The size of Apple Xcode could improve. It is too large."
"There is a drag-and-drop visual system, but as soon as you do something dynamic, then you are unable to use it."
"As Apple has introduced more and more features on top of Xcode, it sometimes, but very rarely, hangs."
"It consists of multiple components and needs a simplified process. This particular area could be more stable."
"It is a bit challenging to sign in."
"We would like a 'light' version of this solution to be developed, as it currently uses a lot of memory space."
"There should be additional documentation on App Store deployment. In terms of features, they're pretty much on top of where they need to go. I've been happy with its progress so far. As things evolve, they need to evolve to match that need."
"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."
"In my opinion, the support and the pricing could be better."
"I have difficulty in using several new features. Some of the product's features are tricky to use as well."
"OutSystems does not provide any native reporting resources. All reports must be created with other tools or as a webpage."
"We had some lagging issues under high data loads, and the solution needed to be customized to improve this."
"The technical features are good, but the actual commercialization is out of reach."
"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."
"It needs improvement in the AI capability."
