Sentiment score
6.0
OutSystems boosts ROI and efficiency by reducing costs and development time through its low-code rapid application deployment.
Sentiment score
7.8
Organizations using Temenos Quantum report increased development efficiency, cost savings, improved security, seamless integration, and scalable architecture benefits.
Traditional applications tend to have larger sizes and higher deployment costs, whereas with Mendix, the time of delivering applications, manageability, and smaller team sizes are significantly lower.
Senior Software Developer at RapidData
It's not that they're really firing that personnel, but they can often focus on the core that really matters instead of repetitive processes in Excel forms and all of the overhead and human error that comes with that.
CTO at Blue Green Solutions
Since Mendix is a low-code platform, the ROI is significant; we save a lot of money and require fewer people to do an application, reduced to two, which drastically decreases development time because this is not traditional programming; just drag and drop, and we can complete projects that would take years within months.
SOFTWARE ENGINEER at Siemens Industry
Developing that same project in OutSystems can be completed in around 40 to 50% less time, requiring only six resources.
Software Developer Advisor at NTT DATA Services
Time efficiency. Your team can be deployed to work on different modules parallelly and you can really save time up to an enormous level.

Many helpful videos and documentation are available on the OutSystems site, making it relatively easy to learn the platform.

They do have the customer support ticketing system where you can raise the ticket, decide the priority, and depending upon your priority and urgency, they are going to resolve your problem.

Room For Improvement

Mendix needs improved integration, documentation, design, language support, pricing, stability, native mobile development, and easier automated testing.
OutSystems requires improvements in pricing, support, AI integration, testing, performance, documentation, containerization, and version control to satisfy users.
Temenos Quantum requires security, interface, and stability enhancements, better integration, faster support, flexible widgets, and improved development tools.
Access to the database is limited in Mendix's public cloud, preventing direct database interaction or inspection.
Mendix developer at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
I choose a seven mainly due to the issues we've faced with slowdowns and bugs during development, while runtime has been very stable.
CTO at Blue Green Solutions
Native development is not very strong, and some developer tools are missing, such as shortcuts to edit multiple variables.
Software Development Intern at a educational organization with 1,001-5,000 employees
It is crucial to be aware of which module corresponds to which application in real-time projects, as there are multiple applications.

You have to design your architecture in a very magnificent and decent way so that how you process your data so that load can be easily balanced.

Setup Cost

Mendix's pricing is steep for smaller businesses, though it offers flexibility and efficiency for large enterprises.
OutSystems is seen as expensive, especially for smaller organizations, but some find its robust features justify the cost.
Temenos Quantum is costly, with prices ranging from $70,000 to $500,000, though some users find it affordable.
The app license costs between $13,000 to $14,000, which is prohibitive for startups.

My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing is reasonable;

Featured Reviews

Mitchel Mol BGS - PeerSpot reviewer
CTO at Blue Green Solutions
Has improved development quality and speed but has introduced persistent IDE slowdowns
In recent years, the IDE has been more buggy and slower, and although there have been more features added, I would like to see more stability, as some areas that used to work for a fairly long time are now slower in my development, which feels like a step back. I choose a seven mainly due to the issues we've faced with slowdowns and bugs during development, while runtime has been very stable, and the overall output on Mendix platform is still good; there is definitely some room for improvement, and I would probably have given it an eight or even a nine if those issues weren't hurting my developer output for the past few years. Overall, Mendix platform is stable, but the IDE could be better.
Aditya Bhatt - PeerSpot reviewer
Sr. Project Delivery Lead | Sr. Technical Lead at a manufacturing company with 5,001-10,000 employees
Rapid delivery has transformed complex enterprise apps and supports faster cross-domain projects
Every platform or low-code platform tool is quite good in its own area, but there is always space to groom or enhance or improve. The same is with OutSystems as well. A couple of things from the integration point of view can be enhanced. If your application or the enterprise organization is tackling a huge data application where you have bulk amounts of data, it becomes a challenge for all the technologies and the same with OutSystems. You have to design your architecture in a very magnificent and decent way so that how you process your data so that load can be easily balanced. Data handling and huge data handling is a kind of challenge you may need to face. Then we have some vendor lock-in. If you are trying to migrate your application from OutSystems, then you probably get into this vendor lock-in system. Some organization may face challenges if some organization is on a small scale size. The small scale businesses may find OutSystems costly because of its high cost and pricing due to the licensing cost. Apart from that, OutSystems really plays well, and it needs a learning curve. If a traditional application or programming is there which your developers are skilled into and they are directly deployed into OutSystems, it may take some significant amount of time for them to get comfortable with OutSystems. There is a learning curve. OutSystems community is already in place, but it can more be enhanced regarding some aspects. They did organize lots of bootcamps and other user groups as well, but those can also be improved from the documentation point of view and having some integration guidebook as well. A couple of things which can be improved into OutSystems include the licensing cost, the vendor lock-in side, the learning curve, couple of integration aspects and customizations.
Zain Omer - PeerSpot reviewer
Software Engineer (Kony-Temenos | Android) at Xpert Digital
Though a secure tool for building applications, there is a need to improve its stability
There is a lot of room for improvement in Temenos Quantum. Temenos Quantum is not quite stable yet. Improvements can be made to make Temenos Quantum stable. Improvements are needed in the solution, considering how my company needs to raise a lot of tickets with the technical support team of Temenos for some basic issues every time. There are some features in Temenos Quantum that I want to be stabilized by Temenos, just like in Android Studio and Xcode. Building an application using Temenos Quantum is not difficult, but my company needs to seek some support for the solution all the time.
