Positive
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
We have used some local platforms before.
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup is straightforward. Normally, the solution is cloud-based, but it depends on the clients. For the setup of the platform, we must have a contract and license from OutSystems. The setup takes one to three weeks.
What was our ROI?
The return on investment is difficult to measure, but the time to market is much faster.
What other advice do I have?
OutSystems has a lot of traction in Portugal. We are studying Mendix and Appian to see if they could be adequate in some cases. Some clients don't have the capacity to support OutSystems, or they might be using other tools. We want to adapt to other platforms and tools. Overall, I rate the product an eight out of ten.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
Public Cloud
If public cloud, private cloud, or hybrid cloud, which cloud provider do you use?
Amazon Web Services (AWS)
Boost for DEV

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Faster code development benefits the organization with shorter time to market
Enables users to develop applications quickly and has a responsive and helpful technical support team
What is our primary use case?
Our clients mainly use the solution for business process automation, workflow automation, and application development. They also use the tool to build a layer between their existing ERPs, like SAP and Salesforce, and the applications they use for business functions, like finance and HR. It is a bridging solution between the ERP and other applications.
What is most valuable?
The time to market is quite good. We can quickly develop an application using the tool. OutSystems is developed using .NET and Java. We can easily find technical resources who have worked on .NET and Java and leverage their previous knowledge to develop OutSystems applications. It can also be used for application development. If an end-user does not want to use the solution after two to three years, OutSystems sends the source code and the applications to the end-user. There is no dependency. It’s one of the major factors I found quite good in OutSystems.
What needs improvement?
The installation is a bit tedious.
For how long have I used the solution?
We have been partners with the product for the last two years. We are dealing with the latest version of the solution.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
The tool is very stable. I rate the stability a nine to nine and a half out of ten.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
We have around 60 clients in India. We have more than 35 people, including 20 developers, three to four senior developers, and one or two architects in our technical team. I rate the scalability a nine out of ten. The tool is very scalable.
How are customer service and support?
The technical support team is responsive and helpful.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Positive
How was the initial setup?
The installation is a bit tedious, but it can be done. If we use the cloud solution, we can immediately leverage AWS and use it. Customizing the product according to a customer’s server requirements could take five to six working days.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
The customers have to pay for licensing and application development. Once they buy the product, they must also engage a technical team to develop applications until their internal team is certified and can develop applications on its own. OutSystems takes care of the maintenance. It is included in the licensing agreement. The solution is expensive. I rate the product’s cost a two or three out of ten. Not everyone can afford OutSystems.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
We have evaluated Mendix as an alternative to OutSystems.
What other advice do I have?
I recommend the product to others. Overall, I rate the tool a nine out of ten.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
Hybrid Cloud
A scalable tool for developing mobile and web applications
What is our primary use case?
My company uses OutSystems for developing mobile applications and web applications.
What is most valuable?
The most valuable feature of the solution is that it is a low-code tool with which it becomes very fast for users to create something and to show the creation to the customer much faster than any other technology.
What needs improvement?
In OutSystems, cloud management is an area of concern where improvements are required. Searching through the logs is an area with certain shortcomings where improvements are required in OutSystems.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using OutSystems for half a year. My company has a partnership with OutSystems, and we have a lot of certified engineers.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
OutSystems has some issues with stability. When OutSystems is used as an enterprise solution or has millions of users, then there are some stability problems with your stability. When millions of users use your application, the management of the databases and caching systems is sometimes not that efficient in OutSystems.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
It is a scalable solution.
My company deals with small and medium-sized businesses.
How are customer service and support?
The solution's technical support is good, especially owing to its documentation part. I rate the technical support a ten out of ten.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Positive
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup of OutSystems is easy.
The solution can be deployed in a few hours.
The solution is deployed on the cloud. A user gets access to the user interface and some applications that you can install on Windows, making it a process that one person can do.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
OutSystems is an expensive product. My company has to make monthly payments towards the licensing costs attached to the solution. I am unsure about how much my company spends towards the solution's costs, but its cost runs into thousands of euros. There are some additional costs towards which certain payments are to be made, considering that one needs to pay for the end user who uses the solution.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
I know about the competitors of OutSystems. I didn't choose any of the competitors of OutSystems since it was a product that already existed in my company.
What other advice do I have?
A person is required to maintain the solution.
If someone needs to show their customers really fast results of the development phase of an application, OutSystems is a very good solution that is expensive at the same time.
I rate the overall tool an eight out of ten.
