Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Oracle, OutSystems and others in Rapid Application Development Software."It is a stable solution."
"The product is mostly stable."
"The most important features of this tool are its visual modeling capabilities and drag and drop functionality. You can see what you are coding which makes it easy to understand and maintain. They have also created a big revolution in digital transformation by introducing native mobile app development under the same IDE."
"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."
"Integrations with external systems with SOAP and REST are easy to implement off-the-shelf, but a developer can always implement specific libraries for other integrations."
"The drag-and-drop feature is very valuable."
"You can go huge - so it is definitely a scalable solution."
"Refactoring with TrueChange is very simple."
"It provides a well-organized method for overseeing everything, especially considering the remote work aspect."
"The product is easy to use."
"It is low-code. We are able to go in and create apps quickly. It is very helpful for the size of our company. We're a mid-size company, and at this moment, we don't need anything externally. We don't have to go out and consult a consulting firm to build something from the ground up. So, the ease of that and being able to get development quickly up and running has been good for us."
"The usability of QuickBase largely depends on how you design your workflows within the platform. If you keep them simple and straightforward, it can be a highly usable product."
"I run my own business and the solution allows me to invoice and pay for additional resources. It has helped me in terms of invoicing, quoting, and doing recruitment measures."
"It has superb ease of use and no code needed to create and build apps and databases."
"Creating applications in Quickbase will take, literally, a fraction of the time it would take to create them in other database applications (which shall remain unnamed)."
"QuickBase is an excellent product and it is very easy to get support."
"For change management, I find the CAB workbench very useful. I haven't seen any other solution that has a CAB workbench or advanced automated solutions for a change advisory board. ServiceNow also has the Workflow Engine which works very well and is very intuitive."
"We always get good support."
"Very easy to implement and to respond to my clients' needs."
"It is a very promising product. They have a new release every six months. They're investing quite a lot, and you can do many creative things with the product. If you know how it works, you can have stricter rules in the product."
"The most recent addition of SAM Premium is a game changer for many organizations."
"Some of the valuable features I have found the solution to have are it can serve many different types of businesses, it has strong platform capabilities, provides application development, built-in predictive intelligence, and performance analytics reports."
"It's great to do statuses or to review tasks."
"Makes ticket information easy to access."
"The product's high price is an area of concern, where improvements are required."
"The solution is costly."
"Currently, in mobile applications, we don't have push notifications."
"The installation is a bit tedious."
"Its ability to create and run automated tasks could be better."
"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."
"The tutorials for the solution should be updated."
"The PDD framework can't be used for the behavioral-driven development way of working."
"Whenever we do onboarding, or we get new employees, there tends to be a delay of not just a week but a couple of weeks, and sometimes even a few weeks of being able to see certain new employees in the system."
"The dashboard is not organized."
"The mobile app has improved, but it still needs work."
"There is room for improvement in terms of user-friendliness."
"The product works constantly to modernize the platform and they have made quite a lot of strides in that. I would like them to add additional features that would help us make API calls."
"Access to more standard default layouts and sample builds would be useful, and access to more training on use and flexibility."
"The improved developer interface in some areas can be difficult to use for complex items."
"I would like to see the reporting enhanced because some of them are not easy to generate."
"Data access is a bit difficult, where you sometimes wish you had a relational database for some queries. The flexibility of data access in general is a bit on the low end. Of course, there is flexibility in some ways, but when I need a certain combination of data for some report, it can become a challenge."
"Service mapping could be less complicated."
"They need to be providing vendors and implementation partners with materials and guidance on implementation."
"I have enjoyed all the features. There is not any feature that I have missed or didn't have."
"They can maybe improve the area of agile project management. They do have user storyboards and other things, but we kind of lean on Jira for that work. This is perhaps an area that could be looked at a little more."
"Creating service catalog forms could be made easier."
"The pricing structure could be more budget-friendly."
"The contract module is quite rudimentary and doesn't support contract line items."
