Intuitive learning curve, rapid development, true change.

Top-6 Low-Code shootout winner

  • December 16, 2016
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
SPEED! ... of development, agile cycle times, and app run-time performance is ground breaking.
UX! ... the quality of the SilkUI is awesome!
DEBUGGER! ... is simply the best I have ever seen! I find errors in my LOGIC super fast!
What do you dislike about the product?
Honestly, the big reason why I chose OutSystems for my firm is because I've not found anything that I truly DISLIKE. Trust me, that is hard to believe. I know, I can't believe I am saying this. For 25+ years as a technology leader, I've waiting for such a platform. It's now REAL.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am starting TWO new companies at the same time. The ease of re-use across the two companies has been incredible. We are building B2B and B2C apps for the employee benefits and healthcare finance markets.
I'm also building apps for internal sales, marketing, and ops teams.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Kick the tires in the FREE "Personal Environment" ... it is the perfect test.

Easy adoption+quick results+good support - what's not to like!?

  • December 15, 2016
  • Review verified by G2

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.

  • December 13, 2016
  • Review verified by G2

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.

OutSystems and Beyound!

  • December 13, 2016
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The customer support and the training that's behind the OutSystems Platform. I also love their Next Steps event which I feel that they go all out letting us know what's next and where the OutSystems organization stands.
What do you dislike about the product?
I am really satisfied with the OutSystems platform as well as the new 10 version which is more that my capability so I am excited!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our organization have a few large clients that have problems that consistently change and we need to have the flexibility to change with them to keep them as clients
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Give OutSystems a try, Think outsusde the box, matter of fact, get rid of the box!

The stuff that dreams are made of

  • December 09, 2016
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The first great thing about OutSystems Agile Platform is that it make everything easy. By removing the standard-but-trickier part of all websites/apps, it allows the development team to focus on the real issues. And instead of watching pages and pages of code, there are modular blocks of operation that are quite easy to understand, but anyone can add the old-fashioned code if they like or have to.
The second best part is that OutSystems controls its product like few companies do, and offers bootcamps and a single online community so that everyone can start working by the book and reach all the pros in no time. You can do it on your own to start, or you can jump into the the professional version and see architecture recomendations, design and usability, server performance and everything else.
No need for any particular set of skills to do a full stack application. It can be a one person job, or a full team working on the product. As long as they follow the Agile methodology, the final product can't go wrong.
What do you dislike about the product?
After working in OutSystems is hard to go back to other tools, and that includes doing extensions (C#/Java) to connect Agile Platform to external libraries.
And while debugging the native quality rules (like the use of transactions) may cause problems to developers not used to good code. It takes a while to correct bad habits.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
By working in the fast moving consumer goods, the issues are diverse. We solved problems of Human Resources, Sales, Marketing, Quality, Logistics... Most applications are for internal use, but they are business critical and the business is very flexible (and applies to several countries). We are having the best time to market ever.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
You can give it a try online and free. That will be enough to convince most of the non-believers.

Solve business problems instead of technical ones

  • December 08, 2016
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
As a old-time c# coder I love the fact I can focus on solving business problems instead of technical issues. I have no worries about dependencies and low-level stuff. Furthermore the TrueChange is awesome. I really have no trouble to refactor, move methods around and clean up stuff. Maintenance is fun as well. The new features in P10 is very welcome for the mobile department as well as the desktop environment.
What do you dislike about the product?
As a lowcode platform it lacks certain flexibility, but those are only edge cases nowadays. Ofcourse the versioning could have some loving by check-in comments but it's all in the nitpicking categories.
As long as it don't evolve in a old-school IDE i can manage most of the dislikes.
There is no perfect tool and there never will be.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
All sorts of business problems, from invoicing, webshops and plain websites. The speed of change and flexibility is the biggest benefit. The easy of refactoring datamodels and simple yet effective way of implementing security measures is a big plus.
Customers see how easy and fast changes are implemented and are very happy with it and are becoming more active in the development itself instead of waiting in the backroom to see what it has become.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Embrace the change and don't be afraid you are boxed with this tool.
It's hugely dynamic and you can still use c#/java if you really really need to.
Upgrades are a breeze and every new major release will surprise you everytime!

Fantastic low code platform

  • December 08, 2016
  • Review verified by G2

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.
