We performed a comparison between Apple Xcode 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 most valuable feature of Apple Xcode is that it is up to date."
"Xcode has quite a bit of code error checking built-in, which is great. It also goes a step further and suggests fixes."
"It is complete and relevant to the job at hand."
"We like the ease of access and navigation that this solution provides."
"Xcode is pretty smart. It's easy to set up and works perfectly on Android."
"It is stable and user-friendly."
"The tool's most valuable features are debugging and code management."
"Integrations with external systems with SOAP and REST are easy to implement off-the-shelf, but a developer can always implement specific libraries for other integrations."
"It is much easier to develop applications with the product’s IDE."
"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."
"Their out-of-the-box UI is quite good."
"The most valuable feature of OutSystems is the drag and drop and toolchains in the small AI developing environment. Additionally, the documentation is helpful."
"We have no complaints surrounding both the scalability and stability of this solution."
"In terms of user support and community engagement, I rate the tool a ten out of ten."
"The product is mostly stable."
"As Apple has introduced more and more features on top of Xcode, it sometimes, but very rarely, hangs."
"It consists of multiple components and needs a simplified process. This particular area could be more stable."
"There should be additional documentation on App Store deployment. In terms of features, they're pretty much on top of where they need to go. I've been happy with its progress so far. As things evolve, they need to evolve to match that need."
"The size of Apple Xcode could improve. It is too large."
"We would like a 'light' version of this solution to be developed, as it currently uses a lot of memory space."
"There is a drag-and-drop visual system, but as soon as you do something dynamic, then you are unable to use it."
"It is a bit challenging to sign in."
"The product's high price is an area of concern, where improvements are required."
"The installation is a bit tedious."
"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 new version could be improved."
"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 documentation needs to be more robust."
"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."
"The prices should be lower. It is a little bit too high for a small market."
