OutSystems Reviews & Product Details

To tell you the truth, I thought it would blow up at some point when I tried to hook it into our HR modules; but, thank god, it did not blow up. I could literally drag and drop little boxes inside the App Engine Studio and it creates an app faster than if I were writing code myself, or, I think, around 30 minutes faster on each project. That "Now Assist" AI created the basic app for me and I was surprised (thought it would be trash) and while it wasn't the most beautiful piece of art, it worked just fine. It allows the non-technical folks to create things so I don't have to. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Cost wise I find it completely ridiculous, like highway robbery for a license but at the end of the day, as soon as you attempt to make anything of substance the "low-code" promise is a total lie and you end-up having to write scripts anyway and this totally defeats the purpose. The debugging process is extremely painful. If your app is large enough with too many pieces of data, the performance will degrade at an alarming rate (i.e., performance will fall like a rock in a pond), it will become virtually unusable because it will be so slow.

Outsystems is a low code development enviroment platform which is syntax free and you dont need to follow a traditional syntax we need to simply write our logic . in outsystems we can also use a AI features "Ai Mentor" where we can simply monitor our application performance it will also provide a suggestions how to optimize our code and what are the best practices need to follow i personally love this application development tool.

In outsystems the thing i dont like was to refresh a dependencies in Outsystems O11 version .but the good news is this issue is also resolved in in outsystems ODC version. so i have have nothing in my hand to dislike it . Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

1. Rapid Development: OutSystems excels in speeding up the development process significantly. Its drag-and-drop interface, pre-built components, and visual development tools allow developers to create applications quickly, which is particularly beneficial for prototyping and agile development methodologies.

2. Ease of Use: The platform is designed to be user-friendly, making it accessible not only to professional developers but also to business analysts and less technically inclined team members. This democratization of development can lead to more innovative solutions and faster project completion.

3. Cross-Platform Compatibility: OutSystems supports the development of applications that are compatible across various platforms (web, mobile, and smart devices) using a single codebase. This reduces development time and effort while ensuring consistency across different platforms.

4. Strong Community and Support: OutSystems has a large and active community, which is a valuable resource for troubleshooting, sharing best practices, and learning. Additionally, the official support from OutSystems is comprehensive, including detailed documentation, training, and customer service.

5. Scalability and Performance: The platform is designed to be scalable, making it suitable for both small projects and large enterprise applications. It also offers good performance, ensuring that applications run smoothly even under heavy load. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

1. Learning Curve: While OutSystems is designed to be user-friendly, the platform still requires a certain level of learning to master its advanced features and best practices. This can be a barrier for users who are completely new to low-code development.

2. Cost: For larger organizations or projects, the cost of using OutSystems can be significant. While it offers a free community edition, the enterprise-level licensing can be expensive, especially for startups or smaller companies.

3. Flexibility and Customization: While OutSystems provides a lot of out-of-the-box functionality, some users find that it can be limiting when it comes to highly customized or niche requirements. Advanced customization might require workarounds or professional services from OutSystems partners.

4. Integration with External Tools: While OutSystems has robust integration capabilities, some users have reported challenges when integrating with very specific or proprietary external tools and systems.

5. Open Source Limitations: Being a proprietary platform, OutSystems does not offer the same level of flexibility and control as open-source solutions. This can be a concern for organizations with strict IT policies or those that prefer the transparency and community-driven development of open-source software.

Outsystem is the platform that helps us in building new applications for our business and these applications are completely customizable according to our needs. With the premium features of outsystems we are able to create customer centric mobile applications within hours. And it's drag and drop feature makes it more easier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Working on this platform needs very less knowledge of coding for developing applications but still if you want to understand it's dynamic range of features you will have to get proper training and understand about each and every part of this tool so that you can work efficiently and use it to it's max potential.

What I appreciate most about the OutSystems low-code platform is how it accelerates the development of enterprise-grade applications without compromising architectural control. The visual development environment simplifies the handling of complex logic, yet still allows for extensibility through integrations and custom code. Its built-in features for deployment, monitoring, and lifecycle management help reduce operational overhead and enhance delivery speed. The platform also ensures consistency across different environments, supports scalable design patterns, and allows for rapid iteration with minimal technical debt. This effective balance between abstraction and control makes OutSystems well-suited for both quick prototyping and the development of long-term strategic systems.

One aspect I find frustrating about the OutSystems low-code platform is how it often abstracts too much of the underlying implementation. This can make it difficult to identify performance bottlenecks and can complicate the debugging process. Additionally, the reliance on proprietary constructs restricts both portability and the ability to deeply customise solutions, particularly when working with non-standard systems. I have also noticed that the IDE tends to become sluggish when handling large modules, and the version control integration does not offer the level of granularity typically found in traditional development environments. Altogether, these limitations create challenges when trying to scale complex applications or maintain strict engineering standards across distributed teams. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One of the best feature that I liked about outsystems is that it provides a user interface where we are able to create different type of apps according to our need just by customizable and visual drag and drop options. None of us has a professional knowledge of coding but we have created 6-7 applications for our business for growth and customer retention. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The main challenge that we face while using outystems is that all the apps that we develop through this software cannot be launched to other platforms if you want to change the core of these softwares. The quality and range of these apps are very basic and standard in nature for creating complex applications you will have to choose another platform only. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

This low-code platform stands out for being both straightforward and user-friendly, enabling rapid application development with minimal coding effort. Its ease of implementation and seamless integration with various systems make it highly efficient for enterprise solutions. Overall, OutSystems simplifies complex development processes and accelerates digital transformation initiatives effectively. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While OutSystems offers a robust platform, I sometimes find it limiting when dealing with highly customized needs that extend beyond its visual development tools. The licensing fees can also be quite steep for smaller organizations, and I have noticed that customer support could respond more quickly. Moreover, the frequent updates to the platform often require additional effort to keep up with the latest features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

it is very easy to integrate with other frameworks like ionic frame works , which helps in rapid development basically & The most helpful things about outsystem is that is makes development fast and easy. We don't have to write long code for everything, and we can make complex UI designs during mobile app development. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

When multiple developers work on the same module at same time then merging changes can be difficult (code merging). sometimes it causes conflicts or overwrites other people's works. sometime I feel debugging and tracking logic across multiple flows can be a bit tricky in large application. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

i like best about Outsystems is that it makes app development faster and easy of implementation. you can build complete application with less coding using its easy drag-and-drop . it also connects easily with others systems like database or APIs, so everything works smoothly together . overall , it saves time , reduces errors , and helps you turn ideas into working app quickly Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

it can be a bit hard to learn at fast , especially for new users. some advance features need technical knowledge and sometimes platform runs slowly and sometimes when project gets large . also you depend a lots on the outsystems environment , so customization beyond its limits can be tricky overall its powerful easy to implementation but not always flexible or beginners friendly some times we write a code its not working properly but i debug a code at a time of debug code working correctly Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I mainly like this platform it help to makes apps building faster and easier . their is no need to have deep coding knowledge it provide drag and drop functionality , reusable component things also provide integration studio for external integrations , it also provide a AI mentor feature for analyses a technical debt of my application which really helps me while i am create the application on it.

What i actually do not like about this is some times if we want to fetch a data in multiple scenarios we need to write a SQL query in Advance SQL and if we want to write a complex code we need to write in dot-net language so these two things i think need to optimize else its good.
