Find out what your peers are saying about OutSystems, Mendix, Salesforce and others in Mobile Development Platforms."The most valuable features of Mendix are the drag and drop functions, the data entities, domain models, and all the related features."
"It's amazing that you can build web apps and mobile (hybrid) apps with one code base in a few clicks. It's a full continuous integration environment."
"You can scale the solution."
"We find it intuitive and easy to use."
"The most valuable features are the decorative style, model-driven development, and the fact that Mendix validates flows. Mendix is quick to develop because it's a low-code platform. It's very robust, flexible, open, and scalable. It's for a low-code customer. The tooling is also really good and it has mobile capabilities."
"There is a free version of the solution you can use."
"I find the fast development speed and low cost to be very valuable features of Mendix. It's a smart solution for busy developers when we need to apply new changes or fixes quickly. Mendix helps to save time and meet project deadlines faster."
"The features that I have found most valuable with Mendix are its business process management and its minimal low code, both from an interface perspective and from a process perspective."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that it allows users to easily build applications."
"Scalability proved to be an exceptionally beneficial feature."
"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."
"The product is mostly stable."
"OutSystems' best feature is that you can build tests with the flow, so even the tests are made in the PDD framework in a low-code way."
"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."
"The most valuable feature of OutSystems with discipline and the development processes. Instead of each developer doing tasks on their own with their own approach, et cetera, the solution would help bring some organization to the development process."
"Their out-of-the-box UI is quite good."
"The most valuable feature is usability. You can develop components inside it and reuse them in different parts of your application, wherever needed. You can replicate them. There's also a Quantum Fabric on the back end, which provides a middle layer between your database and the third-party systems you need to integrate. It also provides the integration to handle all sorts of exceptions and timeouts on the Fabric. This makes it easy to troubleshoot errors coming from third-party APIs."
"The most valuable features of Temenos Quantum are user-friendliness and customizability."
"I like the complete, professional social site."
"The best thing about Temenos Quantum is how it smoothly connects with Temenos Fabric. This simplifies our quantum application by handling identity, authentication, and security tasks seamlessly, saving us from extra coding."
"You can do rapid development across multiple platforms."
"The visualizer and API manager are super useful. It's easy to create applications for the agent. Automations and other complex tasks can be hard, but it's mostly straightforward. You can create forms and populate tables."
"Its greatest advantage lies in its exceptional security and robustness."
"You can build your own customized, native, mobile applications in an efficient matter."
"I struggle with solutions like Mendix in terms of creating enterprise solutions."
"It is expensive."
"The platform still has many areas for improvement. If I compare apples to apples, the PWA features of Mendix could be improved, for example, I wouldn't recommend creating a B2C or B2B marketplace or web portals on Mendix, but there's a tendency for people to still do it through the systems provided by my company, particularly implement B2B or B2C marketplace, versus using eBay or Shopify. On the web portal front, Mendix still needs to improve."
"Mendix is great for internal applications but not so great for a public-facing interface. It lacks a proper directory structure for public use. The URL will not change from page to page unless a deep link is created for each page. That makes it difficult to bookmark pages in the browser to view later on."
"There's no direct tech support."
"It could use a more comprehensive widget creation studio in the IDE."
"There are not enough developers who are using Mendix. The knowledge base available online and in the market is not as rich as other competitors."
"It needs to provide an overview of model versioning control for the sake of the review process; better SCRUM board; an overview of model changes from the repository through Sprintr (SCRUM board). Also, a choice between versioning control system would be nice."
"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."
"The integration points need to be increased. People have also started to adopt this solution for their regular needs. That means it's not only the big enterprises that are adopting this solution. There are also small and medium enterprises that are adopting it. I've read that where you have large deployments, OutSystems starts to crumble a bit. That is the idea that no customer would know at the beginning and would also not like to hit the wall there. When it is on the client, there are a lot of applications already on low-code, and then suddenly you realize that you want to do some big applications, and you face hurdles. This is the general feedback for all such platforms."
"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 dashboards in OutSystems could improve. There are a lot of tabs in the service center that can be confusing."
"The new version could be improved."
"I have difficulty in using several new features. Some of the product's features are tricky to use as well."
"The initial setup is a little difficult."
"The tool needs to improve the efficiency of its widgets."
"There are many issues when integrating with native sides when building an Android application of the retail accelerator or an iOS application of the retail actuator. We have to incorporate on the native side of things, which creates a lot of issues. Temenos Quantum is a proprietary product and not open source. There is not much information available on the internet for developers to reference when solving issues. You have to contact the help desk, who will then give you an appointment and work to resolve the issue. In terms of what Temenos can do better, they can make the product more mature so that we do not encounter as many black holes when encountering an issue."
"Temenos Quantum needs to improve its usability. It lacks information on the network. We have to contact the support when we are stuck with something."
"They need to improve their tech support's abilities. They do have a good tech support, but it still requires improvement."
"It would be highly beneficial if future iterations of Temenos could incorporate support for QR-based payment methods, as it would enhance the platform's capabilities and align it more closely with modern payment trends"
"There is definitely room for improvement, especially in the areas of AI, AR, and DR for mobile and web applications"
"The UI lacks flexibility, especially regarding customizations. There are numerous issues at the fabric end, and working with the visualizer is extremely challenging. Basic development tasks require a high-end machine, and even clicking on an icon initiates a thirty-second processing time. The challenges mainly revolve around fabric and content."
"Temenos Quantum is not quite stable yet."
"Using the API manager can be complicated when you're dealing with multiple teams, projects, and APIs. Quantum doesn't have user-based access, so I can't restrict parts of the project to specific users."
