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."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."
"Scalability proved to be an exceptionally beneficial feature."
"We can do the validation before calling the API."
"The most valuable features of OutSystems are the user interface, the flexibility to quickly integrate with almost anything in the system, and the ability to connect with databases."
"The scalability of OutSystems is very good, it scales automatically very useful for us."
"It is much easier to develop applications with the product’s IDE."
"The flow editor is the most valuable feature. It is simple and intuitive, and it can guide you step-by-step."
"You can go huge - so it is definitely a scalable solution."
"Two of the very fascinating features that make SAP Mobile Platform stand out from other platforms are its offline capability and integration capability."
"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."
"The initial setup is not overly complex."
"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."
"Technical support is helpful."
"It's not that difficult to set up."
"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."
"In OutSystems, cloud management is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The new version could be improved."
"The largest obstacle currently associated with OutSystems is its high cost and limited availability of skilled personnel. Despite being a rapid application development platform, having a highly skilled individual familiar with the platform can be much more beneficial than an inexperienced individual. Because there is a shortage of people with the necessary OutSystems skills, utilizing the platform can become expensive. This makes little sense, considering that a rapid application development platform should be accessible to the average person. However, having a highly skilled individual can greatly increase productivity, making the cost worthwhile."
"I would like to see OutSystems improve its integration capabilities, especially with emerging technologies like AI and GPT."
"The prices should be lower. It is a little bit too high for a small market."
"The dashboards in OutSystems could improve. There are a lot of tabs in the service center that can be confusing."
"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."
"If it was low code or no code it would be ideal."
"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."
"The cost of the SAP Mobile Platform is high, and there is room for improvement in its pricing."
"The toolkit to develop front end applications, especially native applications, is not that good."
"The licensing model is a bit dated."
