We performed a comparison between OutSystems and SAP Mobile Platform 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."We have no complaints surrounding both the scalability and stability of this solution."
"It is much easier to develop applications with the product’s IDE."
"You can go huge - so it is definitely a scalable solution."
"I like the mobile features the most, and there are also various features around the portal we created that I enjoy."
"Reduces the manual labor in compiling and deploying applications and generating procedural code (by reducing development bureaucracy/processes, resulting in real gains). The LifeTime Server approach, requiring just a few steps to publish applications in production environments, is fantastic."
"The flow editor is the most valuable feature. It is simple and intuitive, and it can guide you step-by-step."
"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."
"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."
"It's not that difficult to set up."
"One valuable feature of SAP Mobile Platform is its enterprise-grade standard and maintained APIs, available out of the box for easy integration with various systems."
"Both platforms, the SAP Mobile Platform, and SAP, are highly valuable for our company because they facilitate integration, which can be expensive. It's very convenient to connect and create billing accounts through the SAP Mobile Platform."
"Technical support is helpful."
"Two of the very fascinating features that make SAP Mobile Platform stand out from other platforms are its offline capability and integration capability."
"The initial setup is not overly complex."
"The resource availability needs to be increased."
"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 dashboards in OutSystems could improve. There are a lot of tabs in the service center that can be confusing."
"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."
"The product could be improved if there was a shortcut, or predefined, predictable templates provided."
"The PDD framework can't be used for the behavioral-driven development way of working."
"Writing custom code still needs to be done via Integration Studio. This might have been added to the IDE."
"If it was low code or no code it would be ideal."
"The licensing model is a bit dated."
"The toolkit to develop front end applications, especially native applications, is not that good."
"The cost of the SAP Mobile Platform is high, and there is room for improvement in its pricing."
"One drawback is that SAP Mobile Platform apps are only available through the browser, making offline capability more challenging to implement."
"SAP has announced that they'll be ending the support on the SAP platform."
