We performed a comparison between Microsoft Azure App Service 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 most valuable feature of Microsoft Azure App Service is customization. It provides the building block from its modularity. You can add what you need with the appropriate code."
"I like that it's a ready-to-use, out-of-the-box solution that provides all of the necessary functions for customers, such as codes that can be quickly switched from the production version, or from test and DEV versions to production."
"It is the best because it's easy to use, and there's a plan for every type of workload."
"App Service's best features are that it can be scaled easily and it includes Kudu."
"The most valuable features of this solution are the easy deployment, the scalability, and the Azure maintenance."
"The feature I find most valuable is the 'Diagnose and Solve problem' function. This not only allows us to fix a problem, but also to generate analytics on why the issue occurred."
"The most valuable feature is that it's an ideal solution when it comes to lifting and shifting monolithic applications from on-premises to Azure Cloud. It allows for a quick shift into the cloud without having to analyze and design very specific infrastructure and services for monolithic applications hosted primarily on-premises. Let's say that the team does not want to really redesign monoliths in a microservices-based application and that they want to make a quick move towards adopting the cloud tech stack. Then, Microsoft Azure App Service is probably the best option."
"What I found most valuable in Microsoft Azure App Service is that it's a PaaS. I also like that it supports Docker and multiple frameworks so that you can work on Java, Ruby on Rails, PHP, and Python."
"The most valuable feature of OutSystems is the drag and drop and toolchains in the small AI developing environment. Additionally, the documentation is helpful."
"It is much easier to develop applications with the product’s IDE."
"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."
"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 provides for faster development and better software releases."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that it allows users to easily build applications."
"It is a scalable solution...The initial setup of OutSystems is easy."
"I like the mobile features the most, and there are also various features around the portal we created that I enjoy."
"App Service sometimes becomes very slow to respond, and it can be difficult to find the issue causing this."
"There is always room for improvement price-wise."
"I would like to see faster adoption and templates that we can use."
"Sometimes we face problems, but those are technical problems in Microsoft, bugs or something doesn't work as expected, but that's normal."
"It would be fantastic if Microsoft morphed after my exit service, removing it from subscriptions and moving it to different regions, especially for that service."
"Microsoft Azure App Service needs some improvement in the scaling area."
"The solution needs better integration capabilities on the network side."
"Microsoft Azure App Service could improve by having better integration with on-premise solutions."
"It's difficult to do the component version control. I would like them to add more studying materials."
"The solution's testing framework needs to be improved, and the workflow should be slightly more mature."
"We have performance issues while fetching bulk data."
"OutSystems could improve by being more like GitHub. It would be more helpful for us for division management and version control for our application."
"In my opinion, the support and the pricing could be better."
"The product could be improved if there was a shortcut, or predefined, predictable templates provided."
"Writing custom code still needs to be done via Integration Studio. This might have been added to the IDE."
"The tool needs to improve the efficiency of its widgets."
