"It's an open-source solution with a very large community and available documentation."
"Appium has easy interaction with mobile."
"Obviously because of automation, it reduces manual testing efforts."
"The technical support is perfect."
"The flow editor is the most valuable feature. It is simple and intuitive, and it can guide you step-by-step."
"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 scalability of OutSystems is very good, it scales automatically very useful for us."
"I like the mobile features the most, and there are also various features around the portal we created that I enjoy."
"It is easy to use."
"We have no complaints surrounding both the scalability and stability of this solution."
"It is a stable solution, and the initial setup is straightforward."
"If it had more facility for configuration it would be a spectacular solution."
"We haven't been able to fully leverage Appium for multiple reasons. I think number one is just that the tests take a long time to run. We have had some issues around just the results themselves and how predictable they are, but those are not issues with Appium directly."
"Stability is an area that needs some improvement."
"The integration points need to be increased. People have also started to adopt this solution for their regular needs. That means it's not only the big enterprises that are adopting this solution. There are also small and medium enterprises that are adopting it. I've read that where you have large deployments, OutSystems starts to crumble a bit. That is the idea that no customer would know at the beginning and would also not like to hit the wall there. When it is on the client, there are a lot of applications already on low-code, and then suddenly you realize that you want to do some big applications, and you face hurdles. This is the general feedback for all such platforms."
"The prices should be lower. It is a little bit too high for a small market."
"The solution is costly."
"In my opinion, the support and the pricing could be better."
"Since we first started using OutSystems, they switched their language support from Java and .NET to .NET only, which was a bit of a surprise. Their language support could be better in this sense, although on our resource side it is now a bit more flexible."
"OutSystems could improve by being more like GitHub. It would be more helpful for us for division management and version control for our application."
"One of the biggest areas for improvement is that every time an existing data element is modified, it creates a new data element. It doesn't really modify that particular data element. So, a user has to follow an extra step of removing the existing data element and bringing in the new and modified data element that is being added, which sort of goes into negative productivity."
"There are not enough resources on the market."
