Find out in this report how the two Low-Code Development Platforms solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The initial setup is easy."
"The most valuable feature was the visual drag and drop on the components."
"VBS is another tool that allows users to create enterprise applications without needing to store their projects in traditional databases like SQL."
"You don't need a dedicated IDE to develop. You can work from any browser, which is very convenient. And, with the cloud concept, your code is stored in the cloud, so you can modify it from anywhere, at any time."
"The tool is very easy to use."
"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."
"The solution helps to build mobile and web applications on SOAP and REST. You can integrate it with backend systems by submitting a code."
"The scratch coding is useful. The solution is easy to understand."
"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."
"In terms of user support and community engagement, I rate the tool a ten out of ten."
"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."
"It is much easier to develop applications with the product’s IDE."
"I like the mobile features the most, and there are also various features around the portal we created that I enjoy."
"The feature called "action chains" could use a bit of enhancement."
"The initial setup of Oracle VBCS can be challenging for those unfamiliar with DBS."
"The tool has minor bugs."
"There was an attempt to enable front-end development, it did what it intended to do, but the side effects were too bad."
"I would improve the license structure as, for some companies, it may seem a little bit expensive, depending on what they're doing."
"OutSystems does not provide any native reporting resources. All reports must be created with other tools or as a webpage."
"There are not enough resources on the market."
"Mobile apps should have been fully native."
"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."
"In OutSystems, cloud management is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The documentation needs to be more robust."
"The solution's testing framework needs to be improved, and the workflow should be slightly more mature."
"The product could be improved if there was a shortcut, or predefined, predictable templates provided."
