Find out what your peers are saying about OutSystems, Mendix, Salesforce and others in Mobile Development Platforms."IBM MobileFirst has one of the most feature-rich admin panels."
"I like Its capability for developing hybrid applications, with an ability to integrate device-native code as well"
"With help of this product, we have been able to develop mobile applications without having complete knowledge of each mobile OS's native programming technology. App development, delivery, and code management have been very efficient using this product."
"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."
"Refactoring with TrueChange is very simple."
"It is a stable solution, and the initial setup is straightforward."
"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."
"The solution helps to build mobile and web applications on SOAP and REST. You can integrate it with backend systems by submitting a code."
"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."
"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."
"There are issues with push notifications, especially for Windows mobile apps. JSONStore also crashes abruptly at times."
"I would like to see improved support for native device functions."
"The tutorials for the solution should be updated."
"The technical features are good, but the actual commercialization is out of reach."
"We'd like OutSystems to add stronger workflow-based automation similar to what Appian offers. It needs more workflow modeling and RPA features."
"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."
"It's difficult to do the component version control. I would like them to add more studying materials."
"OutSystems could improve by being more like GitHub. It would be more helpful for us for division management and version control for our application."
"The tool needs to improve the efficiency of its widgets."
"The documentation needs to be more robust."
