"IBM MobileFirst has one of the most feature-rich admin panels."
"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."

"The flow editor is the most valuable feature. It is simple and intuitive, and it can guide you step-by-step."
"It provides for faster development and better software releases."
"The most valuable features of OutSystems are the user-friendly platform. The drag-and-drop feature is great. I have used other rapid application development tools before, but they were not as advanced as OutSystems. With the previous tools, I had to manually build certain features, but OutSystems does it automatically."
"It is very stable."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that it allows users to easily build applications."
"The solution helps to build mobile and web applications on SOAP and REST. You can integrate it with backend systems by submitting a code."

"There are many tutorials available but they are very basic and good for learning the platform. To develop an enterprise-grade application, advanced tutorials need to be developed to help IT professionals design/develop high-quality/performance applications."
"We'd like OutSystems to add stronger workflow-based automation similar to what Appian offers. It needs more workflow modeling and RPA features."
"There is room for improvement in technical support."
"It is hard to find the logic in OutSystems. From an improvement perspective, I want to be able to properly use logic in OutSystems."
"The dashboards in OutSystems could improve. There are a lot of tabs in the service center that can be confusing."
"The tool needs to improve the efficiency of its widgets."
"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."
