OutSystems, It's almost too good
What do you like best about the product?
The graphical user interface makes it a great platform for both novice and seasoned developers, with pleasantly balanced IDE visuals making it a pleasure to use.
What do you dislike about the product?
The main issue would be its reliance on the Windows OS. While not a deal-breaker, it alienates those who prefer a less mainstream OS for daily use
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Main issues being addressed:
1. The platform allowed seamless integration of data from multiple sources into a simple yet straightforward user interface
2. Fast integration of new business "products" to existing applications
3. The cloud-based nature of the platform gave the organization a more flexible solution, allowing developers to work from anywhere at any time. Additionally, being cloud-based it removed the need for any on-premise infrastructure reducing overall administration costs.
The platform benefits would be as follows:
1. Fast turnover of new applications
2. Easy troubleshooting using the built-in debugger
3. cloud-based, allowing access from anywhere with internet access

Recommendations to others considering the product:
The OutSystems IDE was developed primarily for use on the windows OS. that being said, support for Linux and OSX would be experimental where available. Outsystems support do advocate the use of virtualization software for running on other Operating Systems when needed
Great enterprise low-code platform
What do you like best about the product?
- Good low-code platform with a low learning curve. It's easy to start being productive as a complete novice programmer.
- Interactive training, guided paths, and courses cover most typical use cases.
- One-click deployment and excellent application for development.
- Strong community and good repository of reusable open code modules, connectors, UI components, and business solutions.

What do you dislike about the product?
- Still no dark mode in Service Studio, but I think that would come soon™
- CSS customization and js library management could be better.
- Some components do not work correctly in a few situations, like table inside another table.
- Reactive apps have no integrated pdf export solution.
- Validation becomes hard when using Web Blocks and/or reusable validation rules.
- Debugging is a bit tricky and isn't possible to debug an extension in a cloud environment.
I think that the fast road is not always the best, in some cases low code is not the solution.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Migrate legacy application to a cloud solution in a fast way.
An excellent tool with a low time-to-market and low learning curve
What do you like best about the product?
The Community support is excellent and answers questions quickly. I like that there is a low learning curve and that most of the questions I had were already asked and answered by others. I was able to build an app start to end in a little more than 2 weeks, and it was very easy to do so with all the features provided by the outsystems platform.
What do you dislike about the product?
I was not too fond of the lack of features in building a reactive app compared to a traditional app. It would have been much better if I could have used the features of a traditional app in the reactive app without having to use a workaround.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I was building a timesheet and leave system using Outsystems. My main project was to research different low code platforms and then use one of them to create this app and see how easy or challenging it was. I think considering that I went from not knowing what a low code platform even is, to having a complete app in 2 weeks, Outsystems did a pretty good job with this platform. I also particularly liked that I could start from scratch and use different templates for each screen that I wanted and then personalize ot to my needs quickly and efficiently. The backoffice webapps provided by outsystems were also very helpful in user management and overall app management, although I ended up making my own user management system since I wanted it integrated in my app instead of being a separate website.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you want to build and deploy an app quickly, low code platforms are the way to go. There were many points where I thought that it would've been easy to implement this if I were coding, but overall this platform does help finish development quicker. I would say basic coding knowledge goes a long way, even though it's not absolutely mandatory. Whenever you get stuck, try googling it - chances are, someone else has had a similar problem in the past. The OutSystems community usually answers all questions considerably fast.
Great enterprise low-code plataform
What do you like best about the product?
easy to use and fast for creating apps with ia
What do you dislike about the product?
some things need extra code in net and special effort
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Migrating legacy apps
Delivering Apps with Speed
What do you like best about the product?
Minimal coding required. Customisation at your fingertips. Paired with Agile methodology, the platform provides a fast way to deliver apps that provide value to users.
What do you dislike about the product?
May have to work within platform limitations. Some components developed by third parties are not supported by Outsystems themselves.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Solving workflow, integration issues and slow legacy apps. Benefits realised in terms of increased efficiency and productivity to work on application; and also easier access to apps.
The fastest framework for developing apps
What do you like best about the product?
The speed to build apps, mechanisation which takes all the tiresome parts of developers away, allows you to concentrate on functions that make consumers move I can tell my company users what their app is like within minutes, and within weeks those who can begin and seeing placed and test if it meets business requirements. It's possible for a small team to build a fully developed smartphone application in a few days.
What do you dislike about the product?
Very little – and it's improving all the time. Another of the problems of developing apps so quickly is that both sciences necessary to design software could indeed stay competitive. I would like more features, because they are often a bottleneck, to motivated to take the tests and documents.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
In just five days, a charity has been helped to fully digitize its business processes and provide a complete customer management solution, a scheduling solution for appointments and a computerized underwriting but also self-reporting solution with payment reconciliation. Management reports, automated reply email alerts and knowledge of past. It allowed them to reduce substantially, allowing their treasured time to help more people and spend on employee actions. They are provided with accurate information to the extent that they are educated better. It helped the company to expand very quickly and to double in size.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Consider carefully if you possess the requisite knowledge before you buy. Outsystems seems to be easy to use and the is suitable for those who have already developed or designed an application. New apps are constantly being adjusted that are better for a business user less skilled in IT, but it could be good to choose a partner to speed up your adventure and offer results more quickly.
Empower the capability to accelerate
What do you like best about the product?
The platform employs visual, declarative techniques that make it possible to develop software model-based. The development mainly happens with visual graphical user interfaces, which means that programming involves more configuration with models rather than traditional writing of software code making it a faster way of developing the software.
OutSystems promise easy integration with new technologies, cloud services and back-end systems. While organizations are investing in new and emerging technologies, such as Artificial Intelligence (AI), Robotic Process Automation (RPA) and Big Data, they must deal with an existing (legacy) IT landscape. OutSystems provide interoperability and easy to integrate systems with built-in connectors and libraries. This can help overcome the integration challenges that organizations are facing.
Application maintenance is much easier, it reduces the maintenance cost by various means.

What do you dislike about the product?
Defining software requirements takes a comparable amount of time compared to traditional development. The development is more of configuration but sometimes coding is easier than the configuration.
The development with multiple developers, collaboration on the scale as part of an agile team within one application is still challenging and needs to be orchestrated.
OutSystems provide a lot of UI patterns, widgets and screen templates, yet it is relatively difficult to customize the theme compared to traditional web development.
