"Speeds Up Development with Flexibility"
4/5
What do you like best about OutSystems?

I like how you can easily swap components and your infrastructure, and it also seems to connect systems together. It's valuable to our customers that we can easily speed up development and bring components and applications to production without too much hassle. Not only is the speed great, but also the quality, which is very useful for us at ASR. The initial setup was fairly easy thanks to our partners. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about OutSystems?

I think they can improve, like, the basic CSS stuff styling front ends can improve on that. And also, the 11 capabilities, they can also improve a little bit more I think. But they're really pushing to improve that now. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Faster Releases and Automation-Friendly UI, but UI Upgrades Can Break Scripts"
3.5/5
What do you like best about OutSystems?

Development of new features , fixing bugs and deploy to test is way faster as compare to other platform.

Learning curve os also way shorter than other platform.

Writing UI automation end to end flows is also faster . UI works well as with automation tools like low code testing tools like Tosca, Leapwork etc.. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about OutSystems?

Most of the time when OutSystems does UI upgrade , it update the DOM structure for example change the UI element , with causes failure in the automation script, fixing automation scripts after every UI upgrade is time consuming Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"OutSystems will save your team time, but their pricing model has left me feeling worried"
4.5/5
What do you like best about OutSystems?

Honestly I love that I can stop writing boilerplate code all day. Dragging and dropping my logic is so much quicker than typing it in and at least for now I'm tired as hell. The automation features also make it easy to get rid of those boring manual data entry tasks and I'm happy with how active the community is as I have relied on the forum when the documentation does not make sense. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about OutSystems?

Making the UI feel custom is really difficult. It feels outdated compared to other modern web frameworks and our marketers always complain that it doesn't exactly match the brand image. The licensing cost is pretty high for what it does and also I find that debugging can be frustrating when the error message is vague. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Rapid Front-End Development but Needs Faster Module Publishing"
4/5
What do you like best about OutSystems?

I really like how front-end development with OutSystems is super fast. It's really satisfying to see my computer 'go brrrr' as it speeds through tasks. Tasks that used to take me hours, like centering divs, now take just minutes. The speed is definitely a major plus and makes my workflow more efficient. Setting up OutSystems was also easy, which is great! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about OutSystems?

I don't like how the 'Publish all modules' feature works. We need it implemented in OutSystems 11, and we're waiting a long time for all the published modules. This impacts my overall workflow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Old software that functions as needed with my mess"
5/5
What do you like best about OutSystems?

Honestly I've been using this since the screen was orange on a Mac Plus back in 1979 or something. The flexibility of the software has allowed me to be able to add fields to a live database (without kicking users off) and I thought that would crash everything. Instead I could create an entire ERP system without a team of developers and I assume it won't disappear tomorrow since it's supported by Apple. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about OutSystems?

It seems like they change their licensing model each year and I find it annoying to keep up with. In addition to everything mentioned before I also do not understand why there is no Android app available and I also find it difficult to make responsive designs in order to work on the web and I feel like the way it works is very clumsy and my back also hurts. Furthermore, the anonymous submission form we have has some issues as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Impressed by the Pivot to Agentic Systems Engineering and the clear positioning with AWS"
4.5/5
What do you like best about OutSystems?

I have been working with them for 10+ years, I like to recently announced pivot to Agentic Systems Engineering, as it is the right thing to do, given the rapid pace of change in the market. I am responsible for portfolio direction, and therefore the pivot is helpful, also given the fact the partnering with AWS Transform is core to this Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about OutSystems?

It is sometimes perceived of being somewhat expensive by customers, primarily because it is a very extensive platform Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think OutSystems could achieve more in terms of working in teams. Branching, release note solutions, and internal change logs for your modules could be improved. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Ease and Agility for Development and Integration with OutSystems"
4/5
What do you like best about OutSystems?

What I like most about OutSystems is the ease with which I can introduce new features into my applications. This becomes extremely valuable for me in my business, as I have great ease in creating new integrations with other products, ensuring all this possibility to expand and improve. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about OutSystems?

I think we have a problem with the code that is more legacy. We need more tools to update our code and ensure robust code in the future. It is important to ensure everything is rolling without working with old code. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
