"The most valuable feature of OutSystems is the drag and drop and toolchains in the small AI developing environment. Additionally, the documentation is helpful."
"The deployment process is quite straightforward."
"The solution's flexibility and quick turnaround are valuable."
"We can create multiple applications simultaneously with it."
"The product’s MIS feature is very valuable to us."
"The integration capabilities in Zoho Creator are quite good and support our existing workload. It provides open and proprietary APIs, making interfacing with other applications easier."
"Zoho Creator is a flexible open platform that is good for development in a complex environment that other platforms may not support. It isn't a challenge for me to develop any kind of complex application in Zoho."
"The most important thing is Zoho Creator's functionality. Other cloud platforms cannot provide its functionality."
"I just like the simplicity of it."
"It is hard to find the logic in OutSystems. From an improvement perspective, I want to be able to properly use logic in OutSystems."
"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."
"OutSystems could improve by being more like GitHub. It would be more helpful for us for division management and version control for our application."
"In my opinion, the support and the pricing could be better."
"The product's high price is an area of concern, where improvements are required."
"I think OutSystems needs to improve in many areas. First, sometimes Service Studio becomes really slow and even hangs for long periods. Also, if I have not published my module in some time, and some kind of Service Studio exception occurs, I lose my work."
"I would like to see OutSystems improve its integration capabilities, especially with emerging technologies like AI and GPT."
"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."
"They still don't have a PDF conversion feature."
"The product needs to improve stability and scalability. We faced issues with bugs."
"The layout of the form site needs some improvements because you can only create a basic layout and templates in the forms."
"Zoho Creator's UX design needs to be improved."
"Though the pricing level is low compared to other products in the market, I suggest they allow portal users to pay for the solution based on their requirements."
"I would rate the scalability a seven out of ten. So some room for improvement as well for scalability."
"Zoho provides different channels for support, like chat and email. There's also a multi-brand support self-service support portal, but it's time-consuming to deal with it. If we create a portal on Zoho, we need to pay an additional cost per user. It's a flexible platform, but there are limitations, such as the EBI. We need to purchase additional EBIs and other features that some businesses require. If we are developing complex applications, we need to set up many virtual automation and use API calls."
"We face issues while moving from one form to another form. We have a negative impression of the tool's support since they do not provide us assistance with our queries. They don't have solid answers to our questions."
