Additionally, the documentation is helpful."
"We can do the validation before calling the API."
"OutSystems is easy to use."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"For me, the most valuable feature is the flexibility the tools give us to change any customer requirements on the fly, when we are in a meeting. I also like how easy it is to deploy the code between environments and how easy it is to integrate OutSystems with other systems."
"I like the mobile features the most, and there are also various features around the portal we created that I enjoy."
"QuickBase reminds me when a software license or a hardware support contract is near expiration so that I can initiate our company's procurement process in time and not miss a deadline."

"The product is easy to use."
"The reporting tool: It helps in data analytics to provide the solution more efficiency."

"It provides a well-organized method for overseeing everything, especially considering the remote work aspect."
"QuickBase is an excellent product and it is very easy to get support."
"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."
"In my opinion, the support and the pricing could be better."
"I would like to see improvements in versioning. It can be challenging to keep track of what changes should be committed, especially when many developers are working in one environment."
"OutSystems does not provide any native reporting resources. All reports must be created with other tools or as a webpage."
"The product's high price is an area of concern, where improvements are required."
"Writing custom code still needs to be done via Integration Studio. This might have been added to the IDE."
"I would like to see OutSystems improve its integration capabilities, especially with emerging technologies like AI and GPT."
"The tool needs to improve the efficiency of its widgets."
"The tutorials for the solution should be updated."
"I would like to see the reporting enhanced because some of them are not easy to generate."
"When learning QuickBase, I noticed a shift in its cost structure. It operated on a cost-efficient model tied to the number of users, with invoicing based on applicants."
"This rule: The Maximum is 60 rules. We need to provide more in order to improve."
"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."
"I would like to see better options for producing paper reports from Quick Base, rather than viewing things exclusively on screen."
". For example, we need a third-party to create and save a document in PDF, MS Word, or MS Excel format. The document saving capability is probably the feature that we most often have to procure from an outside provider."
"Third-party integration -- they are working on it and I find their brand-new still-in-beta Webhooks very promising."
