Commentaires : Excellent outcomes. Product was a game changer for the City of Shawnee by replacing our legacy applications in less than 2 years.

Avantages :

Rapid Application Development Model; Time to develop and deploy.

Inconvénients :

Costing; AO model. Currently using only 66% of AO's.

Best Low Code platform out there

Commentaires : Despite the pricing category, OutSystems get the job done in a oustanding way, It's really a fun and intuitive way to get your heads into programming.

Avantages :

What make us choose OutSystems was it's simplicity and the speed up, when you are developing new projects. The ability to use the same base code for both mobile platforms was a big thumbs up too. We also contacted a indenpendent code review company to check the generated code base and they liked what they saw, it's generated with good pratices and putting the performance in the right place.

Inconvénients :

Definatelly it's cost. It's a very expansive platform and it's only suited for big companies. They offer a free option but it's just for test purposes.

Low code and No code platform

Avantages :

I have been using outsystems more than 3 years, its a rapid application development tool, any one can be a good developer in short time of period, and they providing good documents to understand the product. Monitoring and maintaince and deployment are so simple. Evey year they updating the products with new features and i love the new ODC concepts in outsystems.

Inconvénients :

I dont have any dislikes, they are in right direction.

Very easy and convenient editor

Avantages :

Easy to integrate with API's within the team and excellent support for third party applications.

Inconvénients :

The pricing structure is what I did not like about this software. It is really high as compared to other softwares.

User experience of 1 year.

Commentaires : As a user I recommend its use for the development of moderately complex applications. It does not require much technical knowledge, it is easy to use.

Avantages :

The most essential feature of this software is its ease of use, since through the low code, it allows the creation of functional and complex applications in record time compared to other similar software. It also has a free version. Although it does not have all the features of the paid version, such as only creating web applications and not mobile in the free version, it can still be used to develop basic and moderately complex applications.

Inconvénients :

The only disadvantage is its cost in the paid version, in similar ones there are less expensive ones. However, its free version is very good.

TPM. S&OP and Retail Execution made easy

Commentaires : We've streamlined the whole Trade Promotion Management process, putting all into one platform, getting rid of e-mails and excel sheets and integrating all the info backwards towards production/demand planning and forward towards retail execution monitoring and compliance

Avantages :

Time to deploy, ease of adaptation, customer focus from 3rd party vendor, user interface and user experience

Inconvénients :

It's not cheap but if you consider that time to develop also adds a cost, then it's a fair deal

one of the best low code platforms in the market

Commentaires : overall, a very positive experience with the platform, the vendor personnel involved in the sale activity and also the community that was very helpfiul.

Avantages :

it is a very easy to get started product with very minimal or no prior programming experience. In addition, the platform is very intuitive and self guided and hence one can do very well on the platform if they know their use case and have a good systematic approach to leveraging the platform. There is also a very active community to help and the vendor personnel are also there to handhold along the way.

Inconvénients :

very honestly speaking, there is nothing that I dislike about the platform. It is very intuitive and one can learn to use and leverage the platform very easily and quickly.

Fast, Good and Easy to learn software!

Avantages :

Outsystems is simple to learn; all that is required is a fundamental knowledge of information technology. In addition, the OutSystems community and customer support are excellent resources for accelerating the learning process.

Inconvénients :

Occasionally, errors can be found in the platform. If the bug occurs in a section of OutSystems, it can be challenging to resolve it since the source code is not available to the public. This can be a source of frustration.

My Experience with Outsystems

Commentaires : Outsystems is primarily used where there is a need for quick time to market products

Avantages :

Application development is easy even the person with no programming background can learn it in 1 month. The Code that is generated by outsystem is Three layered architecture. Mobile development is easy. Integration is not that easy.

Inconvénients :

Need to improve on Deployment. DevOps pipeline also need to be improved.

One of the most powerful software for application development

Commentaires : In general, if you want to perform sampling applications, it is advantageous in its free version, since it optimizes time. At the moment we use the software in this way, in the future we will study the possibility of acquiring a plan.

Avantages :

The ease of use is impressive, since the low-code feature allows you to create and modify applications quickly. This is very advantageous, since it saves time and above all money.

Inconvénients :

It is expensive, clearly not designed for small businesses. However, for medium-sized and large companies, it is usually cost-effective to get a plan from OutSystems when performing a cost-benefit analysis.

The software delivery platform that is all about BUSINESS VALUE!

Commentaires : I have been in the low-code/RAD space for over 16 years, even developing and selling a RAD tool that was targeted at a specific vertical, and nothing checks all the boxes like OutSystems. It is a large system, and it needs to be.

When I read how people identify Price as a Con, I felt that they had missed the point. Sure, OutSystems is not inexpensive but the value provided far outweighs the cost, especially to the business users! The time saved by the platform solving your IT problems will most likely cover the cost of the OutSystems License.

Simply put, OutSystems takes care of the IT problems and allows you to spend a lot more time with the business solving real business problems!

Avantages :

I want to talk about the platform! Organizations spend millions of dollars trying to maintain information such as master data, application lists, component usage (jQuery) etc., or the developers and architects must pull this information together in a mad scramble, while interrupting many projects. In seconds, OutSystems can not only identify which applications are using any object, it will also show where it is being used. How many application documents to you think exist that have never been opened after the sign-off? Millions? Multiply that by the hours spent creating them. Millions of wasted hours providing zero business value. OutSystems is the documentation! The OutDoc app is real time app documentation. If you do not like the look of the OutDoc report, change it! Ask your users what drives more value to them: IT people solving IT problems by creating rarely used documents? Or, would they prefer the platform take care of the IT problems while you spend much more time helping them solve real business problems? One Click Deployments: Gone are the days where you spend hours or sometimes days deploying and promoting your applications through each environment every few months. 4 Layer Canvas promotes proper architecture to ensure current and future applications are scalable and maintainable. The Discovery app will identify architecture issues. Without proper architecture and reusable components, you cannot even think about DevOps.

Inconvénients :

Lacking the ability to encourage highest quality apps in the Forge App Store. Many of the apps in the Forge App Store are easy to use, very helpful and well documented. However, many of the apps lack documentation or examples, making them very difficult to get full value. Compounding the problem, this often results in having to ask the community how to properly use the app, which is now impacting other people. Many people will say the apps are free, “stop complaining”. I argue that they can be far from free and I would be willing to purchase a well-documented app if I knew it would save time. This might lead to a nice competition within the app store where everyone can win. Searching the content on OutSystems.com needs to be fixed! OutSystems has A LOT of documentation, but the site does a bad job searching it, especially if your search criteria has more than one word. Although in the last couple of days, the search has improved so it is possible this was a addressed. OutSystems isn't perfect, but from a big picture perspective we are splitting hairs at this point. Besides, how many hours of IT projects are spent splitting hairs? The few items mentioned above are fixable and what is great about OutSystems is we can add them to the Ideas list for OutSystems to consider in a future release.

Good system but not perfect yet

Commentaires : Good learning curve, the mobile part is evolving rapidly.

Avantages :

1.Ease of use, tutorials and learningpaths, mobile part, it resemblance coding more than for instance Mendix which makes the transition back and forth more easy with OutSystems, when coming or want to go to real coding. 2.You can educate people faster to become a developer, but still finding the right person with surten qualities is important, not for everyone, but low coding definitely enlarges possibilities in finding personnel. 3. Mobile part becomes better and easier works charming and straight forward.

Inconvénients :

The pricing which makes it impossible as a small entrepreneur (enterprise focused pricing) to afford it or start your own business as a developer with it. For me that's very important, because if possible i could build some useful/ profitable things in my leisure time for my future, which will improve my motivation to become better and pays off at work as well. The free account deletes your DB after 2 weeks which makes practicing building big things a pain. This is a big deal for me personally. To be honest many low coding platforms miss out on this part and often lack focus on small businesses making it purely for big companies. Further there should be a possibility to work locally when in developing mode so you are not dependent on internet. Other than that and also this count for every low coding framework at the moment I would personally be scared to get locked in, cause you never know how prices are evolving, but again that counts for all as we speak and until now OutSystems didn't do a bad job in this perspective and they wouldn't wanna loose clients and been reliable in my experience. I hope low coding frameworks in general will create possibilities to buy off compiled code in the future making the locked in possibility no argument no more.

Reduce Time To Market

Commentaires : We are totaly involve, and we are migrating a lot of the organizations solutions into the plataform, our POS solution, delivery hand held solution, our transportation manager application (Oracle TM), and we also create a custom CRM levaing behind the SAP CRM solution.

Avantages :

The plataform enables us as a company to colaborate and implement agile solutions, innovations all across the organization, IT is not longer the bottleneck to promote that innovation, we are now a strong arm that the company relay on to create new technology, solve company issues and bring agile solutions to our customers (internal and external)

Inconvénients :

We are using de Paas solution and that by definition "retrict" the core in depht administration of the infrastructre, but we are working with Outsystems in order to have more control or visibility of the complete infraestructure, we need that 'cause we have core company solution on the plataform and need to monitor in depth the transactionability and guarantee as much as we can the availabilty

I am happy to have this perfect system!

Commentaires : It does not require a large learning curve. Developing applications quickly and easily is very enjoyable with OutSystems.

Avantages :

The OutSystems platform is a state-of-the-art product developed to accelerate development for our core applications as well as provide flow flexibility, allowing developers to implement and develop as business and technology trends evolve. In addition, it does not need a large learning curve and is very simple to use. I like that they provide quick solutions to the business needs of users without technical knowledge. He helps us with the various projects we have in the Company, which is the most important part of my job. It perfectly supports project flow and helps us create flawless projects. With the arrival of Outsystems, the sales team can make demos faster and reach more customers. A very lucrative product.Another favorite feature of the product is that I love the whole ecosystem created by Outsystems ... so having a design system in the UX part, easy drag and drop components, easy development flows and a perfect system to interpret and follow them. .

Inconvénients :

There is nothing I can criticize for not having a bad experience.I am very satisfied with this product.

OutSystems - The New Age App Development tool

Commentaires : OutSystems is a low-code application platform that enables users/developers in speeding up the development and deployment of applications. Applications can be built from scratch and can be deployed without any hassles. UI/UX provided by Outsystems for applications. Learning resources provided by Outsystems are self-sufficient in getting hands-on with the tool and the support from the Outsystems community and the team is outstanding which differentiates OutSystems from other low code application tools

Avantages :

1. Easier integrations with inbuilt web API's within the organizations and excellent support for third-party applications 2. Connectors and Integration with all the databases is provided which helps teams in connecting to any kind of data source and deploying the application without hassles 3. Deployment to any interface like mobile, web, or any device is customized and made simple

Inconvénients :

1. Pricing is at the higher end which makes mid-sized firms choose other options compared to OutSystems 2. Coding or development in OutSystems is database-oriented and is based on data architecture, sometimes this makes it complicated when metadata changes compared to Object-Oriented design which is more reliable 3. Not completely flexible to match your needs. you need to compromise on some of the aspects but the solution delivered is reliable through Outsystems

OutSystems makes life better for tech and business teams

Avantages :

OutSystems truly does live up to the promise of 10x development. The cost of the platform is offset completely by freeing up developers to provide vastly more value for every minute spent working on projects. Perhaps not obviously, it also improves the quality of products significantly. Developers get time back to actually work with customers in the target markets and operate on feedback. Divisions and companies can become more agile and keep up with an ever changing world.

Inconvénients :

There are some limitations with collaboration amongst teams. Because the platform uses a modeling language which exists in three dimensions, typical version control features like branching, merging, and pull requests do not currently exist. This issue can be overcome by changing the way you organize your teams and how they do work.

One of the best low code Platforms

Commentaires : Many companies have used Outsystems to build web and mobile apps. I have worked on a project which create a high UI density , responsibe web app for a world famous investment bank in UK. For most business usecase, the Outsystems platform is a very good choice. The Outsystems team is also very talented and they listen to community feedback.

Avantages :

The intuitive development experience which makes developers highly productive as well as brings a joy working with Outsystems platform.

Inconvénients :

The pricing is slightly on a higher side and it's bit complex. Compared to Appian(another low code platform) the pricing is slightly complex. Also Outsystems used to have a way to target Java for code generation which was removed since Outsystems 10

Outsystems rocks!

Commentaires : I got introduced a little bit more than 2 years ago to the Outsystems Platform. Since that day I fall in love with the drag and drop system. It's so easy to just create a small app in just a couple of minutes. Where using the platform to build applications for around 25+ users to use. With some application used by over 150+ users there getting pretty big!

Avantages :

It's nice to see that OS is improving each day. The training videos and webinars are a real benefit for the new developers. The easy drag and drop technique is so nice to work with. I don't hate coding but this is just some much better. For around 1.5 year I started with the OS Cloud service that is free available for everyone. OS did a real good job to open a free possibility to let you play around with their software.

Inconvénients :

I think the main market for OS are the big companies with 250+ employees. By opening a cloud environment they let you use the application for free. Only if you have a company with for example 1 till 50 employees there is no solution for you. The license is that expansive that it's not possible to pay for small companies and the cloud environment is not for production use. I think this could be improved to also fill the gap in between free and real expensive.

Love to develop with OutSystems

Commentaires : I started using OutSystems in September of 2009. At the time, the learning curve was really high... few video tutorials, the community only had a couple of active members who were working for OutSystems, the Forge had a very limited number of components, etc. I gave it a shot on a personal project, and I was hooked. It just WORKED. Since then I've been involved in some of the biggest OutSystems customers (in terms of usage) and biggest projects (in terms of scope & size) out there, and I am still delighted with the product. It does exactly what I need it to do. It makes the easy stuff trivial and the hard stuff easier. It is not a perfect product (really, what is?) but it is the best way to write Web apps that I have tried.

Avantages :

It is easy to use and easy to learn. The visual logic layout simplifies development and troubleshooting, and allows the business team to participate at a lower level than traditional coding models. The entire team at OutSystems (and especially the support staff) are just really good, smart people who work hard to help their customers and users.

Inconvénients :

Some use cases are still hard to implement. The library of UI widgets still needs to grow. A native reporting solution is really needed. Automated test options are weak.

Next Level Software Development

Commentaires : As an experienced programmer I had some trouble to make my life easier. Trained to use code I can create anything. But as I got used to OutSystems, I cannot think of an easier way to create solutions for business problems. It reduced the time spent on a lot of things, leaving time in projects for the new next thing to implement:) Beside that, the model driven development ensures code quality and control.
Combined with the excellent usage of LifeTime, going from development, testing, acceptance and production is a breeze. And when it does give some problems, a roll back is just as easy.

Avantages :

- Speed - Quality - Flexibility - Business Processing Tools

Inconvénients :

- Rethink software development - Loosing control of the underlying technical things - SQL is managed by the system, so tuning and in depth control is harder

The best RAD and Agile tool on the market

Commentaires : Our company (a relatively small energy supplier in the Netherlands, less than 100 employees) has used the OutSystems Platform for over five years to solve almost all of its business needs. Sales, sourcing, CRM, billing and (e-)invoicing, intrabranch communications, the customer portal - it's all developed using the Platform, without any third party software (safe the software the Platform runs on). We work in an agile fashion with short delivery cycles, providing user benefits and company value every two weeks. This shows the versatility of the Platform in providing everything we need for RAD - both for new development and for maintenance.

Avantages :

Easy, intuitive IDE; easy deployment and maintenance; highly productive; easily scalable; free personal edition in the cloud; ever evolving, embracing new technologies fast, new major versions at least once a year, bugfix releases regularly; excellent support staff; active community.

Inconvénients :

Pretty hefty licence fees, not suitable for small businesses. Needs additional licences for the infrastructure it runs on (MSSQL or Oracle DB). Still limited design patterns for UI design (no problem for business software, limiting for creative minds).

Tailored and guided low-code app & web development

Commentaires : Exceptional, We were successful in our strategy. Thanks to low code environment where we could focus more on user needs and less on architecture and coding discipline.

Avantages :

One of the best low-code app development tool out there in the market. One Click deployment & roll back. Offline data storage, built in templates and seamless integration with iOS & Google play store. Mature and well designed tool that builds good looking apps & web platform. Significantly reduces the time to market and new features can be rolled out in a few days.

Inconvénients :

Enterprise plans aren't cheap only desktop IDE for Windows

build fast, fail fast, learn fast

Avantages :

low code is the key to future mobile development, the speed and agility is the key to any business success in the future. the simplicity to build apps and deploy them as native on iOS and Android has been a game changer for us. In a period of two years we are in more than 20 markets and 100000 users.

Inconvénients :

capability around ci/cd and architecture overview

Outsystems - Be Agile, Be Productive, Be a Hero!

Commentaires : Very Satisfied with our current experience and support.

Avantages :

Outsystems is a user friendly development platform that adds agility and productivity in a dynamic business environment the demands immediate results to maintain a competitive advantage. Outsystems provides continuous upgrades and features, excellent documentation , and to notch support. Try Outsystems today and be a HERO!

Inconvénients :

The challenge in using Outsytems is the learning curve involved to integrate with your current environment when solely using as a front-end. The templates and demonstrations are very well, but documentation and is limited when using connectors or REST services to connect to your existing database. It would be helpful to better document best practices for developing a 4 layer canvas architecture and the use of structures and lists. Not a deal beaker through.
