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."The most valuable feature of Apple Xcode is that it is up to date."
"Xcode is pretty smart. It's easy to set up and works perfectly on Android."
"We like the ease of access and navigation that this solution provides."
"It is stable and user-friendly."
"The tool's most valuable features are debugging and code management."
"Xcode has quite a bit of code error checking built-in, which is great. It also goes a step further and suggests fixes."
"It is complete and relevant to the job at hand."
"The visual program of OutSystems is one of the major advantages of this solution."
"I like the mobile features the most, and there are also various features around the portal we created that I enjoy."
"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."
"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 tool makes the development process easier."
"The scalability of OutSystems is very good, it scales automatically very useful for us."
"The most valuable features of OutSystems are the user interface, the flexibility to quickly integrate with almost anything in the system, and the ability to connect with databases."
"I really like the one-click publish feature in OutSystems. In other development tools/languages, it's not as easy. I also like how easily I can manage all my projects in one place."
"There is a drag-and-drop visual system, but as soon as you do something dynamic, then you are unable to use it."
"As Apple has introduced more and more features on top of Xcode, it sometimes, but very rarely, hangs."
"It is a bit challenging to sign in."
"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."
"We would like a 'light' version of this solution to be developed, as it currently uses a lot of memory space."
"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."
"I like the OutSystems platform. I am working on integrating it with another platform using APIs, however, it has proven to be difficult. The main issue I am facing is obtaining authorization tokens as well as access and refresh tokens. It may be due to my lack of knowledge of APIs as it is new to me."
"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."
"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."
"In OutSystems, cloud management is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"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."
"The product's high price is an area of concern, where improvements are required."
"In my opinion, the support and the pricing could be better."
"I have difficulty in using several new features. Some of the product's features are tricky to use as well."
