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 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."
"We like the ease of access and navigation that this solution provides."
"It is complete and relevant to the job at hand."
"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."
"Their out-of-the-box UI is quite good."
"Scalability proved to be an exceptionally beneficial feature."
"Our previous solution had other overheads such as release management, version management, code management, monitoring, etc., all of which are built-in with OutSystems."
"You can go huge - so it is definitely a scalable solution."
"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."
"I like the mobile features the most, and there are also various features around the portal we created that I enjoy."
"The flow editor is the most valuable feature. It is simple and intuitive, and it can guide you step-by-step."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that it allows users to easily build applications."
"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."
"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 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 solution's testing framework needs to be improved, and the workflow should be slightly more mature."
"OutSystems does not provide any native reporting resources. All reports must be created with other tools or as a webpage."
"The tutorials for the solution should be updated."
"The documentation needs to be more robust."
"Currently, in mobile applications, we don't have push notifications."
"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."
"I have difficulty in using several new features. Some of the product's features are tricky to use as well."
"The dashboards in OutSystems could improve. There are a lot of tabs in the service center that can be confusing."
