Versioning is much better now. I can develop without breaking live apps, and I only release once everything is stable, with apps updating on their own schedule. The UI’s reusable components keep getting better, and ODC’s built-in connectors (Salesforce, Snowflake, SQL Server, Azure AI Search), along with REST/SOAP support, make integrations straightforward. That keeps the architecture simple so I can focus on what matters. Deployment is fast, and it’s improved even more with ODC. The initial investment is significant, but it pays off over the long term by avoiding what would otherwise turn into much more expensive maintenance later on. On top of that, there are tons of tutorials, an active community for peer support, and plenty of YouTube videos to help you get up to speed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

AI accelerates work, but the 'noise' it sometimes generates needs manual fixing and in those cases, it costs more cleanup than it saves. There is still so much also to fix and add in ODC, and ODC + O11 can and it becomes a real challenge to make them co-exist visually. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One of the most noticeable improvements recently is the stronger focus on AI-powered development. Features that support automation and intelligent workflows make it easier to build smarter applications with less effort. Along with this, the mobile development experience has improved with a more modern runtime and better-performing UI components, making apps feel smoother and more native.

Another thing I like is the increased flexibility in workflows and UI customization. The platform now feels more mature with better support for reusable logic, improved integrations, and stronger governance and security features. Overall, these updates help speed up development while still giving enough control to handle more complex enterprise use cases Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are still a few areas where OutSystems can improve. The biggest one is pricing and licensing transparency—costs can be quite high and sometimes confusing, especially as applications scale or for smaller teams. Many users also feel that while the platform is powerful, it can become complex to manage for larger or more customized applications.

Another area for improvement is flexibility and customization. Since it’s a proprietary platform, there can be limitations when building highly specific or niche solutions, and some integrations with external or specialized tools can be challenging. Improving debugging, source control capabilities, and overall developer experience for advanced use cases would make the platform even stronger. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The AI features they have been introducing these last months have given a complete revamp to the image the platform has. They introduce a new world of posibilities and change the paradigm: Outsystems is not an AI competitor, but an AI companion and accelerator. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

For sure they can improve their training paths (the technology would greatly benefit from having more experts on it) and their overall communication about upcoming features, specially in such an uncertainous season we are living in Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The best thing about Outsystems is its ability to create enterprise-level applications without writing any code. We’ve built applications—even complex ones—without writing a single line of code. And if something seems impossible to achieve without code, it still gives us the option to create an extension using .NET. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is no such thing to dislike about outsystems as it simplifies things to the extent where you can ignore any drawbacks, if any Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like how OutSystems makes application development faster and easier.

It is simple to use and helps build features with less coding effort.

I also like the flexibility to add custom logic and integrations when needed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes the environment can become slow, and debugging issues can take more time as the application grows. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like how OutSystems is bringing AI into development, especially with Mentor, which helps build and improve applications faster. The new AI agents and automation features also make development more efficient and easier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

OutSystems could improve by making pricing simpler, development tools more flexible, and debugging easier. This would make the overall developer experience better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

OutSystems has introduced Agentic AI (Agents) with ODC. This is a new feature that gives power to developers to create AI agents for their clients to give real-time response and feedback with any service. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The licensing cost is still high as small businesses can't afford to build their system using OutSystems. They should reduce the cost of licensing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like most about OutSystems is how it accelerates application development while still allowing the flexibility needed for complex enterprise solutions. The visual development environment significantly reduces development time, making it easier to deliver features quickly without sacrificing quality. I never imagined myself working on IT until I came a cross outsystems, because it allows you too focus on pure business Logic. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One area for improvement is the merge process, which can become complex when multiple developers work on the same components, making conflict resolution more difficult than in traditional development environments, branching would be good Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Transforming our internal LOB applications to OutSystems has, so far, been a great move. The ability to design, build, and deploy solutions for the business with strong CX and UI is invaluable. Re-platforming many of our LOB apps into OutSystems means we can now give our employees the functionality and security they’ve always wanted, which we weren’t able to deliver with our incumbent systems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The only downside experienced so far is that the capabilities of OS are so far reaching that some simple solutions can seem like they require more lengthy dev time. This is far outweighted however by the ability to provide more functionality than ever before to our users Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

OutSystems enables quick application development and comes as an all-in-one bundle for deployment, with CI/CD and internal security built in. It’s easy to use and easy to get used to. I have 4 years of professional experience with it, and it’s something I naturally think about when I’m coding. Implementing logic feels straightforward, and REST integrations are simple to set up and pick up. I’ve also had quick replies from OutSystems itself when I needed support. I use OutSystems daily in my life. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes an infinite loop can slip by unnoticed, and it can take a while to track down and fix. Also, the market itself is still fairly niche and not very widespread (yet), which can be a concern in this day of AI. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
