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."It is very stable."
"The drag-and-drop feature is very valuable."
"It is much easier to develop applications with the product’s IDE."
"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."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that it allows users to easily build applications."
"Speed of delivery: We were able to reduce development time by 30%."
"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."
"It is easy to use."
"Overall, the ability to integrate with multiple applications and effective case management is the most valuable."
"Fast prototyping."
"Can do a lot of things with minimum time and cost."
"Decreased time for plane departures and landing, supported analytical insight for planning of three to six month forecasting, and helped with operational decision planning and support."
"The most valuable feature is the situational layer cake."
"The most valuable features of the solution are case management, routing, and low-code environment."
"Pricing is a little on the high side."
"The most valuable feature of Pega BPMI would be the academy courses, specifically the Product Development Network (PDN). Additionally, our organization has a dedicated Customer Engagement Team that we work closely with to achieve our goals."
"It needs improvement in the AI capability."
"OutSystems could improve by being more like GitHub. It would be more helpful for us for division management and version control for our application."
"We have performance issues while fetching bulk data."
"One of the biggest areas for improvement is that every time an existing data element is modified, it creates a new data element. It doesn't really modify that particular data element. So, a user has to follow an extra step of removing the existing data element and bringing in the new and modified data element that is being added, which sort of goes into negative productivity."
"The product's high price is an area of concern, where improvements are required."
"Currently, in mobile applications, we don't have push notifications."
"OutSystems does not provide any native reporting resources. All reports must be created with other tools or as a webpage."
"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."
"Pega BPM's documentation should be improved, especially for freshers or new trainees."
"To learn Pega, you need to be a partner. If someone just wants to learn Pega for the sake of learning, they won't be able to do so as they don't give access to that."
"The training aspect of Pega BPM requires significant enhancement. There should be more opportunities for third-party training and engaging events, such as hackathons where individuals can share their expertise. Additionally, the training structure itself should be more organized, as I have received feedback from my colleagues in the COE that the current training approach is overwhelming and requires excessive referencing to obtain accurate information. Another area for improvement would be the user experience with regard to RPA. Simplifying the IDA for citizen developers would make it easier for them to adopt the RPA tool."
"Pega BPM could be improved by including token-based authentication and extending its integration options."
"The unit testing needs to improve, as well as the user interface."
"Business specific functionality is needed."
"There is a scarcity of resources who have worked with this solution before."
"An area for improvement in Pega BPM is security. It's secure, but it still has a lot of vulnerabilities. Pega BPM is robust, but it still needs some improvement performance-wise."
