Outsystems, An addictive low-code solution.
What do you like best about the product?
OutSystems has positioned itself as a no- or low- code solution that allows you to solve complex workflow problems in a very intuitive way.
What do you dislike about the product?
It is a cloud solution, and so requires good connectivity, although offline mobile use is possible on Android and IOS platforms.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Tons of requirements come and it hard to develop as fast as the new requirements so this is the fastest way to develop the new requirement for the application.
Great if you have to implement a large application in a short period of time
What do you like best about the product?
Rapid application development, in the right situation eg. big application shot time it could be great for you
What do you dislike about the product?
Expensive and complex licensing. A one off licence fee would be great.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Need to implement an app in a short period of time
Easy adoption+quick results+good support - what's not to like!?
What do you like best about the product?
-Low learning curve, which leads to easy adoption for developers and "pseudo-developers" alike.
-We have found that we no longer do paper-prototypes since its easier to prototype on the Outsystems platform and let it take shape as the end product.
-Platform-approach to administration of dozens of low/medium complexity applications pays dividends
-Pretty robust integration functionality to expose functionality as APIs real easily as well as consume external data
-Outsystems perfectly complemented our journey towards 100% Agile and SCRUM adoption.
-After the initial investment in training and base setup, results come at record rate.

What do you dislike about the product?
-Be prepared to give up some control of the infrastructure when you go with the Cloud hosted model (they do offer an on-premise model as well). This is typical of most PaaS solutions.
-Change Management has room for improvement but we hear the latest version of the platform did improve in this area a bit.
-Support has room for improvement and timeliness is not always their forte. Again, we find this to be the case with other vendors as well.
-The Forge (the marketplace for trying out functionality contributed by other users or Outsystems) has much more potential than is currently realized.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
- We are no longer reinventing the wheel. We reuse functionality that was already developed for one application in other applications. This was our main use case.
- We have found ourselves to be active practitioners of RAD concepts like Rapid prototyping and following the critical path.
- We are able to develop our own "add-ons" or "extensions" within the platform to make it do more.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
It is a good idea to find your development patterns within your enterprise.
The Rapid Application Delivery Platform of the future already available today
What do you like best about the product?
ALM Features, ease of development and deployment, web and mobile, technology imdependent
What do you dislike about the product?
missing of unit testing features (I don't consider the unit testing framework as a very good solution)., missing of tools to test the quality of the code (duplicate code e.g.), hard to copy data from one environment to another, the tablenames that can change from one environment to another
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Able to deliver quality mobile and web apps a lot faster than via standard development.
Fantastic low code platform
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
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.
Simony awesome
What do you like best about the product?
The easy way of creating apps. And it's a visual tool
What do you dislike about the product?
CSS need to be published every time it's changed
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Improve relation between client and customer.
Great working with OutSystems
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!
The best RAD application
What do you like best about the product?
The speed how we build a complex app for web and mobile
What do you dislike about the product?
The sofware units coud be a limitation, and the if we have a small business the price of a license is too high.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Faster development, Easier to find and solve bugs and runtime errors
