Solve business problems instead of technical ones

  • December 08, 2016
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
As a old-time c# coder I love the fact I can focus on solving business problems instead of technical issues. I have no worries about dependencies and low-level stuff. Furthermore the TrueChange is awesome. I really have no trouble to refactor, move methods around and clean up stuff. Maintenance is fun as well. The new features in P10 is very welcome for the mobile department as well as the desktop environment.
What do you dislike about the product?
As a lowcode platform it lacks certain flexibility, but those are only edge cases nowadays. Ofcourse the versioning could have some loving by check-in comments but it's all in the nitpicking categories.
As long as it don't evolve in a old-school IDE i can manage most of the dislikes.
There is no perfect tool and there never will be.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
All sorts of business problems, from invoicing, webshops and plain websites. The speed of change and flexibility is the biggest benefit. The easy of refactoring datamodels and simple yet effective way of implementing security measures is a big plus.
Customers see how easy and fast changes are implemented and are very happy with it and are becoming more active in the development itself instead of waiting in the backroom to see what it has become.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Embrace the change and don't be afraid you are boxed with this tool.
It's hugely dynamic and you can still use c#/java if you really really need to.
Upgrades are a breeze and every new major release will surprise you everytime!

Fantastic low code platform

  • December 08, 2016
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Where do I start? The ability to develop and deploy the full stack quickly and easily is second to none. In addition, the platform TrueChange tab allows you to find where all of your obvious bugs are, and won't even allow you to publish until they all are resolved, making sure that the simple mistakes won't be detrimental to your application. Recently I've been heavily developing in platform 10, and the mobile and offline capabilities of this version are tremendous.
What do you dislike about the product?
The primary issue that I've had with Outsystems is the lack of powerful advanced data grids. The grids are okay in taking care of basic to intermediate needs, but if you need something with the power of KendoUI, you need to go elsewhere to get it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have a very small development team, and we've been able to successfully manage all of the needs much better than we could with any other platform. Outsystems allows us not only to develop and deploy very quickly, but change orders and bug fixes are EXTREMELY easy. I've loved that aspect of the platform almost more than anything else. It has been possible for us to be able to keep our IT costs down with fewer developers, yet still deploy quality products in a timely manner.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It's a niche product because it isn't free, but if you have enterprise-level projects for desktop and mobile and want one code base, I would highly recommend Outsystems.

Outsystems accelerates time to market and time to ROI

  • December 08, 2016
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The platform is incredibly flexible and meets the needs of customers regardless of how complex their requirements are. Developers can more quickly meet the demands of their jobs while at the same time doing so in a manner that promotes reusability and understandability.

There is a wealth of knowledge within Outsystems and in their community of developers. This can prove invaluable when you need additional information on a topic. Also, there is a large set of pre-built applications from the Outsystems Forge that can be used for reference or to kickstart an application.
What do you dislike about the product?
The platform is easy to get started with but takes more time than I originally thought to get proficient with especially with some of the more complicated patterns.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Enterprise level application development for products to sell to external customers.

The ability to rapidly prototype ideas and modify those prototypes on they fly.

The ability to produce so much more with fewer developers.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are having issues with meeting business demands in terms of quantity of deliverables, timing of those deliverables, quality of those deliverables, and attempting to contain software development costs, it would be well worth your time to investigate whether this platform would be right for you. I think that you'll be pleasantly surprised.

Great working with OutSystems

  • November 30, 2016
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I experience OutSystems as an easy to use tool which makes it possible to realize applications together with customer representatives along the journey towards realizing a new application. Sitting together behind the monitor and build the application they want/need, making modifications on the fly and see the result right away after 1-click-publish.
Very important for me as well is the fact that I can talk about the process a customer goes through and build the main processes of the application instead of building a data model and menu to access data in that model.
What do you dislike about the product?
I experienced some limitations when migrating large amounts of data to OutSystems. OutSystems has a lot out-of-the-box features to import data from for example Excel sheets or use data from databases outside of the OutSystems environment. When I started to import >100K records, I faced throughput time of hours. Luckily extensions in several languages (C#, Java) are available in the community or can be custom made to get rid of that issue.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Just started using OutSystems (1/2 year), so few successes booked until now: generally replacing manual data processing. Also performing several time consuming validations (due to manual data retrieval from different systems) and presenting information from different systems in one application.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Take a serious look at it!

Outsystems and Futuresystems

  • October 27, 2016
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The platform is, quite frankly, amazing at what it is says it does. It is a strong and capable tool for enabling a very intuitive development environment, over which both small and sharp, as well as large and still efficient applications can be designed. In my honest opinion, the strongest selling point of Outsystems is that it removes from developers the need to do a lot of background coding, putting together a strong suit of features focused on nurturing the creative spirit of the development process
What do you dislike about the product?
The integration studio and its relationship with the development service studio is not as easily understood for a still novice user, as is my case.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Mostly HR and contact center related business applications. The fast deployment of new outsystems application versions enables fast response to contact centers requirements.

The best Reviewer

  • October 27, 2016
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Very easy to use, allows a complete novice to enter the IT world and make great apps in a very fast and rather simply way.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometime it can be very tricky to understand what is the errors that the system signals, specially in the service center monitoring screen. Also it can be difficult to use JavaScript since the the field of input looks just like a string where we don't have any feedback for the code.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am currently improving and doing maintenance for an already in use app, two year old, that process timesheets for company and client employees, and their salary processing also. The app is made in avery tricky and confused way, the lack of proper documentation process or a very simple and direct way to see the relation of all the eSpaces in use.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
See the films of who fast and easy it is to do an app.

It might have changed my life

  • October 27, 2016
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I like that it is quite easy for people outside from the IT world to connect with it and to start a career in IT. It happened to me and I'm pretty happy with the decision that I've made by embracing the challenge of working with OutSystems.
What do you dislike about the product?
At this moment i don't have complaints about OS. As i said before i am happy working with it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It is much faster to deploy an application making the relationship between the company and its customers much more enjoyable. Right now i am solving problems regarding the migration of applications built with "classical" tools to OutSystems.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It ables you to embrace the IT world without having to graduate in IT quite easily.
