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 tool's most valuable features are debugging and code management."
"It is stable and user-friendly."
"Xcode is pretty smart. It's easy to set up and works perfectly on Android."
"It is complete and relevant to the job at hand."
"We like the ease of access and navigation that this solution provides."
"The most valuable feature of Apple Xcode is that it is up to date."
"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 very stable."
"OutSystems' best feature is that you can build tests with the flow, so even the tests are made in the PDD framework in a low-code way."
"It is a scalable solution...The initial setup of OutSystems is easy."
"OutSystems is easy to use."
"We used almost all of the features, themes, styling guide, and approach components. They are useful in our applications."
"Scalability proved to be an exceptionally beneficial feature."
"It provides for faster development and better software releases."
"We can do the validation before calling the API."
"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."
"There is a drag-and-drop visual system, but as soon as you do something dynamic, then you are unable to use it."
"We would like a 'light' version of this solution to be developed, as it currently uses a lot of memory space."
"The size of Apple Xcode could improve. It is too large."
"As Apple has introduced more and more features on top of Xcode, it sometimes, but very rarely, hangs."
"It consists of multiple components and needs a simplified process. This particular area could be more stable."
"It is a bit challenging to sign in."
"The resource availability needs to be increased."
"I have difficulty in using several new features. Some of the product's features are tricky to use as well."
"It is hard to find the logic in OutSystems. From an improvement perspective, I want to be able to properly use logic in OutSystems."
"Writing custom code still needs to be done via Integration Studio. This might have been added to the IDE."
"Mobile apps should have been fully native."
"The asynchronous processing and multithreading tasks for which the current resources of the platform are very generic and not built for the end-user. Any asynchronous jobs have to be constructed with an end-user dashboard to allow inspection of the status of the activities."
"Currently, in mobile applications, we don't have push notifications."
"OutSystems does not provide any native reporting resources. All reports must be created with other tools or as a webpage."
