The primary use cases are mostly related to the rapid low-code framework. Currently, I'm working on a business use case where we need to create a responsive website that enhances the customer's experience.

A hybrid low-code solution that improves development speed with its prebuilt templates and drag-and-drop interface
What is our primary use case?
What is most valuable?
OutSystems is a hybrid framework and supports my mobile and web application development needs. This means I don't have to write separate code for mobile applications. It adapts the UI and functionality, whether I'm developing for web or mobile interfaces. All I need to do is provide the layout during development.
The tool has enhanced my development speed through its prebuilt templates and drag-and-drop interface. Unlike legacy frameworks like C# and Java, OutSystems provides everything ready to use. You need to connect integrations and formats, which allows developers to develop their modules rapidly.
In the healthcare sector where I work, we handle clinical and non-clinical research involving study criteria and customer-responsive interfaces.
In one of our recent projects, which involves setting up appointment bookings for healthcare organizations like NHS and Canadian provincial health services, OutSystems plays a crucial role. The system monitors Outlook email criteria every five minutes to detect appointment requests. When a request is identified, OutSystems uses AI capabilities to determine if it's a new booking or a follow-up based on the email content.
Once categorized, the tool integrates with other systems, such as Salesforce.
What needs improvement?
The tool's weakness is its focus on the solution only. Other than that, it's pretty easy to use for both technical and non-technical people. However, the tool lags in automation. For instance, we've used Python for scraping and other automated tasks. So, I believe automation is an area where it could improve.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been working with the product for three and a half years.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
OutSystems servers are currently managed directly by the vendor. This setup makes scalability readily achievable because whenever we need to expand our operations to different locations, we can directly engage with the vendor who handles the tool. They can scale the infrastructure to meet our requirements. However, at this point, our focus isn't on scaling further because the configurations we've implemented for recent developments are adequate for targeting the Canadian and North American regions.
How are customer service and support?
Technical support is good, especially for customers on the Gold tier like us. Typically, we receive responses within 24 hours, and their support team is very responsive.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
Appian offers advantages in automation structures with its Appian RPA platform, formerly Jidoka. They have integrated this acquisition into their offerings as Appian RPA. Additionally, Appian has a well-established market presence. Appian holds a slight advantage over OutSystems, which entered the market approximately five years ago.
What was our ROI?
Our primary goal has been to enhance customer experience by deploying applications developed with OutSystems. The initial response from users has been positive, particularly in reducing previous backlogs. We've streamlined processes with the product, enabling rapid development, integration, and automation.
We haven't yet reached the stage of calculating ROI specifics. Typically, such evaluations are conducted either at the end of the fiscal year or three years.
What other advice do I have?
The tool has its own AI modules, but we've utilized our custom models. As we focus on specific regions like Canada and North America, we've developed dedicated forms and solutions. We've implemented our custom models using Python and Gen AI to extract data from emails and forms. OutSystems does offer its own AI capabilities.
Due to its fast development strategies and everything, I would recommend OutSystems over Appian. Appian is in a different space and has its own components and frameworks.
I rate the overall product a seven out of ten.
