Evaluating Low-Code Development Platforms: A MULTIMOORA Approach

Abstract

Swiftly advancing low-code development platforms (LCDPs) have created a new branch in software development, allowing for the rapid creation of applications with minimal knowledge of coding. However, in spite of the great opportunities gained, problems related to choosing the most appropriate platform from a wide range of alternatives that differ in features, usage scenarios, and performance metrics make it difficult to determine the most suitable solution. The use of the MULTIMOORA method can greatly facilitate the selection process, along with a strong evaluation and weighting system, which has a positive impact on the results. The evaluation system provides ten global criteria with internal sub-criteria of different factors. The list of tested platforms includes the seven most popular ones: Kissflow, Salesforce App Cloud, Zoho Creator, OutSystems, MS Power App, Mendix, and Appian. The results show the genuine value of this method, by accentuating the strengths of the proven platforms and the method itself. This study offers a multifaceted and sustainable approach to platform validation that allows the use of LCDPs for various applications and helps to make rational decisions.
