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."Xcode has quite a bit of code error checking built-in, which is great. It also goes a step further and suggests fixes."
"We like the ease of access and navigation that this solution provides."
"The most valuable feature of Apple Xcode is that it is up to date."
"It is stable and user-friendly."
"It is complete and relevant to the job at hand."
"Xcode is pretty smart. It's easy to set up and works perfectly on Android."
"The tool's most valuable features are debugging and code management."
"The scratch coding is useful. The solution is easy to understand."
"OutSystems' low-cost approach has positively impacted our productivity, because we were able to develop faster with OutSystems, enabling us to implement many changes during our sprint."
"The architecture of OutSystems is quite simple, and the features are similar to Mendix's. OutSystems has connectors for different enterprise apps and solid reporting capabilities. You can also integrate with any content management platform like SharePoint or Adobe Enterprise Manager, or something like that. You can also create and integrate workflows."
"Speed of delivery: We were able to reduce development time by 30%."
"The product is mostly stable."
"I find it to be a genuinely cool and effective platform for my development needs."
"Reduces the manual labor in compiling and deploying applications and generating procedural code (by reducing development bureaucracy/processes, resulting in real gains). The LifeTime Server approach, requiring just a few steps to publish applications in production environments, is fantastic."
"It is much easier to develop applications with the product’s IDE."
"There is a drag-and-drop visual system, but as soon as you do something dynamic, then you are unable to use it."
"We would like a 'light' version of this solution to be developed, as it currently uses a lot of memory space."
"The size of Apple Xcode could improve. It is too large."
"It consists of multiple components and needs a simplified process. This particular area could be more stable."
"It is a bit challenging to sign in."
"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."
"As Apple has introduced more and more features on top of Xcode, it sometimes, but very rarely, hangs."
"It's difficult to do the component version control. I would like them to add more studying materials."
"There is room for improvement in technical support."
"I would like to see improvements in versioning. It can be challenging to keep track of what changes should be committed, especially when many developers are working in one environment."
"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 product's high price is an area of concern, where improvements are required."
"We had some lagging issues under high data loads, and the solution needed to be customized to improve this."
"The installation is a bit tedious."
"The technical features are good, but the actual commercialization is out of reach."
