OutSystems Reviews & Product Details

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The simplicity but yet powerful platform which simplifies not only the developing process but also the deploy. It's a huge time saving. It also has a component free store, which you can use to download community made libraries to help speed up even more your development. There's the service center which you can see applications logs, events and more, it's really well organized. There's also an application called Architecture Dashboard, which analize your flows and make suggestions based on the best pratices, helping the development team to grow up and keep delivering valuable software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Well I know that the company has some high costs to make the platform useful for us, but I didn't like so much the pricing range, it's really designed for mid-high companies. I wanted to see it on the small companies aswell as the software startup factories. I think OutSystems has to spend a time to think in a business way for the small companies to jump in! Other point that I can cite is that we do not currently have an Development Studio for Linux, I think the Linux community on TI is huge so should think about an Linux version of it. Currently There's versions for Windows and Mac. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I just started my career as a programmer, and I was very afraid that I was not going to be very helpful for my organization in the beginning. However, thank you to OutSystems's technology, I was able to add value to my company from day one by creating simple apps or modifying the existent ones. Thus, the thing that I like the most in Outsystems is its platform simplicity and the integration data from the service center. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

In my opinion, the documentation available on the web is not sufficient. It is poor conceive and confusing. Since OutSystems is a premium enterprise, its documentation should be aligned with the company values.

Also, something that I don't like is the web-browser preview (the one that we use to preview how the widget will be aligned in the real browser). My current project is complex, and the feature does not work properly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I started with Outsystems in 2011 but due to company's requirement I moved to other technologies and got experience on other tools and technologies like .net, APIs, JS, Salesforce.. but The mix of inbuilt and custom implementation that Outsystems Provide has no match.. I found that Outsystems provide best productivity, less time to market, high product quality, and easy for developers.

So, I am glad to join back Outsystems last year and I am enjoying working on it.

As per my Experience I found Outsystems :

Easy to use.

Give more control over implementation.

Provide Powerful debugging.

Very effective maintenance and bug fixing.

Provide smooth user management which also can be integrated with other AD on some clicks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Outsystems mostly provide all the features to ease life of business, users and developers.

No tool to check individual action history.

learning curve is very short but community and training can be more Detailed for complex scenarios and with example.

Also there should be some tool where developer can test his action directly.

Other than these I can not find any Negative. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I come from traditional developments languages, so when I started using Outsystems I noticed it was easy to understand, before I was very apprehensive because I didn't think it was possible to develop without "hard coding" everything.

What I love the most in OutSystems are the web blocks, I can reuse my code how many times I want without to rewrite it again.

In conclusion, the OutSystems team is doing a great job. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The Service Studio crashes a few times, but the Outsystems support team is working wonders to solve every problem they find.

It doesn't support a lot of languages that are used today, like java. Many times I want to implement java code that I learned in school or in old projects, I have to create the logic in OutSystems, and some of the times it's not possible to do so.

When I create a ticket on the OutSystems forum it's always resolved very quickly, so continue with the great work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The easy to use Service Studio and Service Center. Service Studio is very user friendly and clear. Service Center is easily accessible and provides a lot of information in one location. The way you can deploy using Lifetime is also a great benefit from OutSystems. If you have the role to do the deploys, you don't need anyone else, you can do it whenever you need a deploy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The stability of the platform is sometimes not so great. The quality of the code of the OutSystems components is not always perfect. There are a lot of warnings in OutSystems modules or modules that don't follow the architecture dashboard best practices. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

-Fast programming;

-Easy maintenance;

-Customizable;

Outsystems has helped our company a lot with the ease of programming for training new employees, it becomes much faster, the demand has only increased with the

the implementation of Outsystems. the maintenance of applications is very easy due to the organization and structure of the code within Outsystems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The size of the storage available in the Personal Environment;

I tried to create some apps but the storage size in the personal environment made it impossible for me in some parts of the development.

Even with the limitation in the personal environment, I can connect the amazon database through the outsystems extensions.

The Outsystems team's response is quick and efficient in reporting bugs. the platform is constantly growing and this adds a lot to the reliability of the product Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I develop much faster the platform is wonderful.

I met wonderful people in the community. I was very happy and my life was transformed, it is wonderful to know that I can count on so many nice people. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have nothing to disagree with. This is wonderful. I love this platform.

Unfortunately there are a lot of people who hate the platform because they think they are going to steal your job and outsystems don't do that, it helps you to learn something new and put efficiency in what you do, so that it takes time to program if you can deliver projects so quickly.

There will always be many haters who will always speak ill of the platform because they do not understand how it works, so it is easier to speak ill. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The best thing about #nxstep 2020 is the new content that will make every customer develop apps faster, consolidate data, and bring money to everyone.

Loved the conversation flow, the energy. Not even talking about the giveaways.

Awesome work!

The Service studio is light and publishing takes less time each version.

OutSystems AI is the best I've seen. Shortens the time to create any app.

I'm eager to see the new content working, how we can improve my apps even further.

In every aspect, it's the best low-code platform ever.

Keep up the good work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Regarding #nxstep 2020, some features are hard to find, even searching for them. One example is this review.

I'm still struggling to understand what else could I be missing.

Regarding the OutSystems platform, there is nothing I dislike. They made it awesome. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The ability to develop both Web and Mobile applications with ease and with all the integrations and with proper Infrastructure is something great.. and Outsystems provide personal environment which makes it very much easier to look most of the things that Outsystems offer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I personally do not dislike outsystems much. But there are few things based on Front-End animation based development that can be brought up. But yet, most of the pre defined things suits the best for most of the use cases. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The ability for us to develop quickly and efficiently in a responsible technology architecture. Within 4 months we had a complete architecture in the Outsystems environment and were able to quickly develop solutions that our C# team would not have been able to do in a timely manner in the same way. Over the last 18 months we have had over 70% of our technology stack transitioned over to the low code platform and replaced almost half of our legacy systems within the low-code environment. We will have no issues transitioning the remaining 30% of our stack over to OutSystems in the next 18 months, allowing for a consolidated UI & data infrastructure for both internal and external users.

The support team can be so to respond at times. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Easier to learn if you are already experience with web development. It not only enable faster development but also easier to version control. It not only focus on Web app development but also mobile app developement. OutSystems adopt to new technology. It support process of Post-Production. Platform leverege monitoring feature of request log, error log, general log, and SLOWSQL. You can easier to detect performance bottleneck via LifeTime dashboard. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

OutSystems support development from Post-Production, however, platform cost become expensive for small or middle-scale company. It would not become easier to sell it for other new customer of small scale company.

Plus, compared to other product, customer support speed can improve. I believe self-service support become improved for last two or three year. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The speed at which apps can be built, the automation that takes all the tedious parts of the developers job away, allowing you to focus on the features that make the users go "Wow!" The fact that I can show my business users within minutes what their app will look like, and within hours they can start to see functions being built and can start testing whether it will meet the business need. The fact that a small team can build a fully fledged business app in a couple of days. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Very little - and it is constantly improving. One of the challenges with being able to develop apps so fast is that the other disciplines that are required for software development cannot keep pace. I'd love to see more features that help automate testing and documentation as they are often the bottleneck. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The best I like is the modular approach. You can code the component once and reuse it in any modules you want. If you find a bug or error, you can change the code once and easily fix other modules that is using that component by refreshing all dependencies. Aside from modular approach, I also like the themes and the built-in functionalities that you can readily used when building application especially the components built by the community of developers in the forge. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Only big companies can use it, maybe because of the price. I hope there is also a free version where the codes generated from OutSystems can be deployed to our own server. One thing I also wanted to have as a feature is the nested table component. Currently we are customizing our own nested table to suit our need. Last thing is the aggregate should be able to use the IN function in SQL. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

OutSystems provides lightning fast development with integrations to almost all platforms like SAP etc. It has very unique and better way of consuming and exposing Restful web services which I used.

Deployment of application from one server to another is made very easy OutSystems provides pipelines to enable faster deployment between environments.

Dev-ops is very friendly of OutSystems anyone who has basic knowledge can work on it.

Visual development is very developer friendly that eliminates the need to write long multiple pages of code, so it is very good. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is all cloud based platform that does not allows any of the process to go offline.

the development is also fully dependent on internet we cannot develop any application offline so it is a thing that I particularly dislike.

The preview is also dependent on internet since it is fully cloud based, I dislike this but it is not a disadvantage of this platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The speed at which we are able to develop applications from scratch. The ability to implement mobile offline features that comes right out of the box. The work flow feature which is so much easier to implement. and rules can be implemented dynamically. the readily available forget components which gives as the critical library that can be re used to make our application 7x faster.

Apart from all this Outsytems also gives us a personal environment feature that we can utilize for out personal needs to playaround. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

pricing. but I agree that the best tool always comes with a price. can implement mode debugging features such as dynamically changing the values at runtime to yield different results.

Unit testing frameworks can be implemented. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The absolutely quick way you do the things, it doesn´t matter if it´s a single web page or a complex n-tier application. And, of course, the free environment witch allow us to try, study and check the power of the platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The price of the certifications. But it´s not really necessary to enter in the OutSystems world, learning (there´s have a lots of official great quality content material´s free) or start your journey at OutSystems Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Low-code platform, less programming required. With that, the development team can focus more on a much more important thing such as the process flow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

To spend more time with the business process flow. Instead of focusing more on the development, the team need to spend most of the time to identify the business flow before start developing the system/application. Then, the team need to spend more time on the story line first, need to meet the business owner to discuss on the exact business process flow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
