We performed a comparison between Microsoft Azure App Service 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."What I found most valuable in Microsoft Azure App Service is that it's a PaaS. I also like that it supports Docker and multiple frameworks so that you can work on Java, Ruby on Rails, PHP, and Python."
"Debugging using Application Insights is a valuable feature."
"The most valuable features of Microsoft Azure App Service are its vertical and horizontal scaling, along with its ability to throw a docker image."
"The program is stable and we've had no technical issues so far."
"The stability of Microsoft Azure App Service is good."
"We are able to do millions of things simultaneously."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to scale the application."
"The technical support from Microsoft Azure App Service is good."
"It is much easier to develop applications with the product’s IDE."
"The tool makes the development process easier."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that it allows users to easily build applications."
"Their out-of-the-box UI is quite good."
"The most valuable feature is Agile development. I love that you save a lot of time on development and can focus on logic and business requirements."
"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 drag-and-drop feature is very valuable."
"For me, the most valuable feature is the flexibility the tools give us to change any customer requirements on the fly, when we are in a meeting. I also like how easy it is to deploy the code between environments and how easy it is to integrate OutSystems with other systems."
"The solution is somewhat expensive."
"The solution is quite expensive. If you need more features, you need to pay for them."
"Having a surplus of tutorials from Microsoft, rather than relying solely on documentation or features from other sources like YouTube, can be beneficial."
"If you're on the cloud, you just get a web interface without much detail for additional configuration or the authority to configure the root or system-level configuration."
"The pricing is average. It could be lower."
"There is still room for improvement in terms of the maturity of the solution. Everything is available that we need, but the issue is that they are still upgrading. Even though they have Azure applications and automation services, they still need to mature more. There are many things that need to mature and the road map for this is quite long, taking another three to eight years to have a mature solution."
"I would like to see some significant improvement in the technical support provision for this solution."
"App Service sometimes becomes very slow to respond, and it can be difficult to find the issue causing this."
"The tool needs to improve the efficiency of its widgets."
"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."
"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."
"There is room for improvement in technical support."
"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 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."
"Writing custom code still needs to be done via Integration Studio. This might have been added to the IDE."
"OutSystems does not provide any native reporting resources. All reports must be created with other tools or as a webpage."
