We performed a comparison between Microsoft Azure App Service 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."The product is scalable."
"We are able to do millions of things simultaneously."
"The most valuable features of this solution are the easy deployment, the scalability, and the Azure maintenance."
"Some of the features I found valuable are auto-scaling, SSL integration, cost-effectiveness, and the certificates provided by Microsoft Azure App Service."
"The best feature is scalability, which allows you to target potential clients worldwide by connecting the application to a local server. This makes the application readily accessible, and the response time will be much better."
"One of our reasons to use the product is its cloud service. Our usage is mainly on the cloud and we like the benefits that we can get from the cloud. You can easily do the literal shift of your application easily. You can jump into the cloud very quickly."
"The most valuable feature is that it's an ideal solution when it comes to lifting and shifting monolithic applications from on-premises to Azure Cloud. It allows for a quick shift into the cloud without having to analyze and design very specific infrastructure and services for monolithic applications hosted primarily on-premises. Let's say that the team does not want to really redesign monoliths in a microservices-based application and that they want to make a quick move towards adopting the cloud tech stack. Then, Microsoft Azure App Service is probably the best option."
"The solution is very simple to set up."
"It is easy to use."
"We've used features like batch processing timers, components, and integrations with other systems like SAP, which have accelerated our development process.In terms of productivity, we've seen a 30 percent reduction in screen design time and an additional 10 percent improvement when implementing client requirements. OutSystems' integration capabilities have significantly enhanced our app's functionality, making it quicker and easier to connect with other systems."
"I like the mobile features the most, and there are also various features around the portal we created that I enjoy."
"Refactoring with TrueChange is very simple."
"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."
"We can do the validation before calling the API."
"It provides for faster development and better software releases."
"The most valuable features of OutSystems are the user interface, the flexibility to quickly integrate with almost anything in the system, and the ability to connect with databases."
"Sometimes customer service and support can be challenging."
"I would like to see some improvement in the UI/UX design, to make navigation of this solution more user friendly. For example, it could contain more explicit information on each of the features."
"Limited integration is an area for improvement in Microsoft Azure App Service. Another area for improvement in the platform is multi-language support."
"The logging and monitoring could improve in Microsoft Azure App Service."
"The solution needs better integration capabilities on the network side."
"The solution is quite expensive. If you need more features, you need to pay for them."
"The solution is somewhat expensive."
"If you're on the cloud, you just get a web interface without much detail for additional configuration or the authority to configure the root or system-level configuration."
"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 asynchronous processing and multithreading tasks for which the current resources of the platform are very generic and not built for the end-user. Any asynchronous jobs have to be constructed with an end-user dashboard to allow inspection of the status of the activities."
"In OutSystems, cloud management is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"Mobile apps need improvement."
"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."
"The product could be improved if there was a shortcut, or predefined, predictable templates provided."
"The solution is costly."
