"The solution is very simple to set up."
"Azure data factory is a good tool."

"The Logic Apps and Azure functions are very robust."
"The most valuable features of Microsoft Azure App Service are its vertical and horizontal scaling, along with its ability to throw a docker image."
"OutSystems is easy to use."
"Once built, web/mobile components can be reused in all new developments. In addition, the OutSystems Forge is very useful. We can exchange components and even already-built applications, reducing costs to build specific solutions."
"We used almost all of the features, themes, styling guide, and approach components. They are useful in our applications."
"The most valuable feature of OutSystems is the drag and drop and toolchains in the small AI developing environment. Additionally, the documentation is helpful."
"The scratch coding is useful. The solution is easy to understand."
"The scalability of OutSystems is very good, it scales automatically very useful for us."
"We've used features like batch processing timers, components, and integrations with other systems like SAP, which have accelerated our development process.In terms of productivity, we've seen a 30 percent reduction in screen design time and an additional 10 percent improvement when implementing client requirements. OutSystems' integration capabilities have significantly enhanced our app's functionality, making it quicker and easier to connect with other systems."
"We can quickly develop an application using the tool."
"When trying to scale up, it has a limitation, specifically an upper limitation. In general, scalability should be improved."
"I want more transparency in billing. It would be better if we could understand and control the billing to customize it. Also, Microsoft should provide more guidance about the widgets and subsets of various products. The Microsoft portfolio is so huge that it's sometimes difficult to choose the correct option. There's always a chance we are paying more than necessary."
"Microsoft Azure App Service could improve by having better integration with on-premise solutions."
"Extended uptime and improved speed would be beneficial for both development purposes and the free tier of the service. Currently, the uptime is limited to a few hours per day, which could be increased to provide more continuous and efficient usage."
"The solution needs better integration capabilities on the network side."
"The cost management of this solution could be better. We only receive estimations."
"In terms of room for improvement, ease of deployment would be an area that needs some focus. Azure does provide out-of-the-box deployment features, but I found that deploying to an App Service instance can be better in terms of more tools that could be available to perform a deployment."
"Sometimes customer service and support can be challenging."
"The prices should be lower. It is a little bit too high for a small market."
"The solution is costly."
"The largest obstacle currently associated with OutSystems is its high cost and limited availability of skilled personnel. Despite being a rapid application development platform, having a highly skilled individual familiar with the platform can be much more beneficial than an inexperienced individual. Because there is a shortage of people with the necessary OutSystems skills, utilizing the platform can become expensive. This makes little sense, considering that a rapid application development platform should be accessible to the average person. However, having a highly skilled individual can greatly increase productivity, making the cost worthwhile."
"The installation is a bit tedious."
"The initial setup is a little difficult."
"OutSystems does not provide any native reporting resources. All reports must be created with other tools or as a webpage."
"The tool needs to improve the efficiency of its widgets."
"Writing custom code still needs to be done via Integration Studio. This might have been added to the IDE."
