What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Fast to provide a business resolution.
Simple development made simple...
What do you like best about the product?
OutSystems allowed us to develop omnichannel applications quickly and easily. It made it possible for us to put the right tools into the hands of our employees, wherever they are...
What do you dislike about the product?
I would like to see more testing integration. Automated regression testing is key when using rapid development tools such as OutSystems.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are solving the digital transformation and experience problems. Work wherever you are and do the things that you didn't have time to do during the day on the commute home.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Work smarter and with a low code solution. It increases productivity, output and let's you more senior developers focus on the truly tough problems of the business.
Outsystems makes developing powerful applications quick and easy
What do you like best about the product?
Outsystems is the most powerful tool that I've used to develop robust, deep, and good-looking web and mobile applications. It's easy to develop screens and logic quickly, but flexible enough to handle very complex business logic. It handles everything from storing source code to compile to deployment with one click.
What do you dislike about the product?
Version Control isn't as flexible and robust as I would like. There's no ability to branch code or have a central repository for multiple projects with a shared codebase.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We often have very aggressive development schedules with our clients, and Outsystems allows up to implement our product very rapidly.
Great quick application development
What do you like best about the product?
It's easy to create a great looking website with out having prior experience. The templates look great and are easy to customize to your liking. The forge is useful in adding components that are not included in the base program.
What do you dislike about the product?
The programming language was a shift from the usual. Some functions like list manipulation are not as robust in some situations. However, this can be overcome with use of plugins and custom C# integrations.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Speed of development, easy ui that looks good.
Outsystems really provides fast and good results
What do you like best about the product?
ability to run and fail fast when it is the case... so we can change gears quickly
What do you dislike about the product?
how to control development gold code. i would be good to have a way to control SDLC requirements
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
production plan floor process efficiences... also approval flows integrating with SAP.
Develop and deploy Fast!!!
What do you like best about the product?
The Agility of the platform itself, from the code to the end user
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes the support, it's difficult sclae the support cases
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
End user Billing information
Quick development and code standardization
What do you like best about the product?
I like that Outsystems improves deployment speed and standardizes code. This allows junior developers to produce.
What do you dislike about the product?
New product means new learning curve. I would like to see a code export feature as well. That would allow us to quickly develop solutions that we could host in house.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are allowing junior developers to produce solutions.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Consider business needs and pricing.
Fast, Scalable, Pattern Proven
What do you like best about the product?
OutSystems provide first class support along with excellent applications deployment. The apps that OutSystems can create are great for end users and line of business applications. Each step is driven by proven patterns and the success engineers are great for making sure you ship excellence.
What do you dislike about the product?
OutSystems web applications are HTML heavy and I wish that could be optimized a bit more.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Fast deployments, fast application building and POCs. Agile all the way.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Make sure you know the solution you want to implement before investing in any one tool or toolset.
CP Kelco
What do you like best about the product?
We are benefiting from the speed of development from this platform. We are using it to standardize software tools used within the company.
What do you dislike about the product?
They continue to deliver components as needed to aid rapid development. Cost of the licensing and the limitations have been a downside for us.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are using this as a replacement for legacy systems. It has aided our adaption by being able to quickly train development teams to assist.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
This is a very innovative company that is able to allow you deliver quickly. We have been able to keep up with customer demand and provide state of the art solutions.
The PLATFORM to choose if you want Digital Innovation and Transformation done right
What do you like best about the product?
Having managed, sponsored and promoted dozens of OutSystems projects across multiple industry sectors since 2005, what I like best in OutSystems:
• Build strong Web and Mobile POC, Prototypes and MVP in record time;
• Not only how fast we can build applications from the ground up but more important, how fast we can adapt applications to meet an increasingly dynamic and uncertain business environment;
• We benefit from the Rapid Application Development power of OutSystems while maintaining full flexibility to integrate with external systems and applications seamlessly and increment functionality through custom developed software components known as Extensions.

What do you dislike about the product?
From a business perspective, the price structure and licensing model should change less frequently, be more clear and more flexible to accommodate different adoption scenarios. Initial investment costs and lack of predictability regarding future cost of ownership, as applications evolve, are common objections to OutSystems platform adoption.
From a technical perspective, I know that, in bigger and more complex projects, technical teams may struggle with governance issues, code merging, release building and versioning, although we recognize that OutSystems has made important improvements in that area in recent versions of the platform.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
From modernizing legacy systems to streamlining inefficient paper-based processes and engaging customers, suppliers and partners, we have solved a great variety of business problems and delivered real value to our customers, with great ROI in just a few months. Most of all, I have seen satisfied end users that breed and embrace applications built with OutSystems, which is ultimately our goal as information technology professionals.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
My first recommendation would be to try the platform. It is free, you have access to complete training materials and do not need any special guidance to build your first OutSystems application.
As a second recommendation and like many things in life, one size does not fit all. The approach you follow in the adoption of the platform will depend on the scenario at hand. Sometimes OutSystems will be great just for applications’ front-ends, leveraging the power of great user experience and anywhere, anytime access, connected to already existing solid backend systems. Other times OutSystems full stack applications may be the right path to follow to achieve modernization of legacy systems and leverage the full power of RAD. The decision of when and how to use the platform will dictate how much business value you can extract from its adoption.
As a last recommendation and as it usually happens with powerful tools like OutSystems, you can build great applications that bring high value to the business and that users love but you can also build sloppy, unmanageable and unusable applications that will be, sooner or later, thrown away. Good architecture decisions and sound governance are critical to maximize the benefits extracted from the OutSystems platform adoption, so be careful when choosing the project team.
