"Smart, Easy-to-Use App Builder with Reusable Modules and Simple REST API Integration"
4.5/5
What do you like best about OutSystems?

It’s a very smart application that feels like it’s thinking along with you, and it’s easy to use. It helps me create reusable modules, and implementing new features is very straightforward. Using REST APIs in Service Studio is also really easy, which is super nice. Especially now with Mentor, you can create screens you can show clients as a POC during sales so they can get a feel of what kind of business solution u want to make for them Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about OutSystems?

Sometimes I feel like the documentation isn’t very extensive. Searching through the community can help at times, but it’s not quite like other coding platforms. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"G2 review"
5/5
What do you like best about OutSystems?

I find OutSystems to be very good in terms of developing concepts and proofs of concept in record time, which helps speed up the development and improvement of existing or new applications. It's very helpful because you don't have to worry too much about security aspects, and it allows you to quickly identify areas in the application development that need improvement or alignment with current standards. Also, the initial setup process of OutSystems was very fluid and non-intrusive, making steps from one to four very easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about OutSystems?

What I see could be improved is how the application actually receives commands in terms of the type of application that you want developed. So if you give it a description in terms of the application that you want as a foundation, that part of the request-to-receiving process can be greatly improved.

"OutSystems Speeds Up Stable, Confident Testing"
4/5
What do you like best about OutSystems?

As a tester the speed of development is a aspect key for our work. If a developer is able to produce testable software quickly then we become effective. The ability of OutSystems to produce working stable software is great.

The ease of navigation, deployment and implementation allow me to perform my job faster and have great confidence in what I am testing is correct. No longer do I have to test all the edge feature that you have when testing a high code application. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about OutSystems?

I find the design and layout of OutSystems feature can be a bit common. The developers tend use the same design and layout for all software projects. As a tester that is a little dull, but also part and parcel of the the software being quick to create.

Automation hooks and naming conventions could be easier to define to allow our automation solutions to find buttons, fields and other aspects of the page more easily. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

5/5
What do you like best about OutSystems?

What do you dislike about OutSystems?

The only thing that comes to mind is really the occasional workarounds needed for very specific tasks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Fast, Beginner-Friendly Demo Building with Great Mentor and Training"
4.5/5
What do you like best about OutSystems?

Very fast and easy to build demos for our costumers. UI is easy to understand and the Mentor feature is a great help, especially for beginners. The available training and JumpStart sessions are an amazing way to enable our consultants to build knowledge fast. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about OutSystems?

The platform and studio interfaces are only available in English. This is often a deterrent for our German-speaking customers when they want to use the platform themselves. The same issue applies to the trainings, which are also only offered in English. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Effortlessly Accelerates Development with Trusted Forge Components"
5/5
What do you like best about OutSystems?

I like using OutSystems for developing solutions and applications because it saves me time and money while being easily accessible. I appreciate the newest forge components and AI that enhance my experience. I particularly find the dbCleaner useful for cleaning the database and making my environment faster. Using ready-made components from the trusted forge saves time. The initial setup was easy, and despite other team movements toward Mendix, I still find strong value in OutSystems, which is why I'd rate it a 10 out of 10.

The transformation to reactive web systems from traditional web applications for the present systems that are built on traditional web applications should be easier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Exceptional Support, Smooth Onboarding Process"
4/5
What do you like best about OutSystems?

I find OutSystems' customer service amazing. They are very good to work with, being very kind, responsive, and always quickly resolving any issues. It's impressive that they waste no time getting the right people involved to solve issues quickly and develop what we need rapidly. They are extremely fast with issue resolution, and any time a problem pops up, they escalate and solve it faster than any other vendor. I also appreciate that with the support from OutSystems' professional services team, even a complex setup process went smoothly. It's great that OutSystems provides automated onboarding, which shortens the manual work required and decreases the time to onboard an account, accelerating speed to revenue.

"Agility and Visual Development with OutSystems"
5/5
What do you like best about OutSystems?

I like the agility that OutSystems provides, especially in how it allows me to quickly change or adapt applications in collaboration with the business. The visual development aspect of OutSystems is great, as everything is visual, which really helps in creating prototypes that can be shared with our business. I also appreciate its future proofness, particularly how OutSystems responds to new market initiatives, which is super because we don't have to wait a year for something new. The initial setup was very straightforward, and after using it for 16 years, I'm very pleased with the progress of the platform. Overall, I find the platform very valuable and would highly recommend it to others. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Efficient Development, Needs Better Dependency Management"
3.5/5
What do you like best about OutSystems?

I like how with OutSystems, I only need to focus on the logic, and it handles all the platform management, connections, scaling up, quicker deployments, and optimization. The flowchart-type logic is something I really appreciate; it's pictorial and makes understanding easier. Also, Service Studio was always easy to set up and use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about OutSystems?

There could be a smarter one-click way to refresh the dependencies. It's too slow in this AI world and something that could be automated. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
