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 feature is the back end."
"It is a stable solution."
"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 flow editor is the most valuable feature. It is simple and intuitive, and it can guide you step-by-step."
"Our previous solution had other overheads such as release management, version management, code management, monitoring, etc., all of which are built-in with OutSystems."
"We used almost all of the features, themes, styling guide, and approach components. They are useful in our applications."
"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."
"Refactoring with TrueChange is very simple."
"We can quickly develop an application using the tool."
"What I find lacking in the software is its ability to query the database."
"In many cases, they make choices where flexibility is a little bit degraded, but if you leave everything open and the flexibility is great then the usability is a little bit less."
"I would like to see full integration with AI."
"The product's high price is an area of concern, where improvements are required."
"I have difficulty in using several new features. Some of the product's features are tricky to use as well."
"The latest version of the app generation tools could be more user-friendly."
"OutSystems does not provide any native reporting resources. All reports must be created with other tools or as a webpage."
"Mobile apps should have been fully native."
"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."
"The new version could be improved."
"While I can't speak to the market impact, as a developer, I've seen significant reductions in development time across different versions of our applications. One area for improvement would be the UI controls in Service Studio. Sometimes, controls don't appear in the IDE, requiring us to check them in the web browser instead. Overall, our experience with OutSystems has been positive, though improvements in UI development would be welcomed."
