Has the flexibility to quickly integrate with almost anything in the system, and the ability to connect with databases
What is our primary use case?
What is most valuable?
The most valuable features of OutSystems are the user interface, the flexibility to quickly integrate with almost anything in the system, and the ability to connect with databases.
What needs improvement?
The solution's testing framework needs to be improved, and the workflow should be slightly more mature. The solution should use generative AI capabilities.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using OutSystems for nine years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
We haven’t faced any issues with the solution’s stability.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
OutSystems is a scalable solution. The solution is auto-scalable regarding the number of users or the volume of data.
I have created an application which is being used by almost 2,00,000 users. That was done for some kind of enterprise wide application where it is being used across the globe. That's the maximum number of users I have created an application for.
How are customer service and support?
The solution's technical support is quite useful, but it takes a good amount of time to get a solution from them. The technical support is not so quick and could be faster.
How was the initial setup?
The solution’s initial setup is straightforward.
What about the implementation team?
We implemented the solution through an in-house team. Depending on the size of the application, the solution's deployment hardly takes a few minutes.
What was our ROI?
With the solution, I have seen around 80% to 90% increase in the return on investment.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
OutSystems is a very expensive solution, and it has to be cheaper. Users have to pay a yearly licensing fee for the solution.
What other advice do I have?
I have used the solution for both web and mobile application development. In the healthcare domain, we used the solution to create a mobile application related to patient care. We also used the solution to create web applications, including banking and in-house enterprise applications.
It hardly takes around six resources, including developers, for a typical project which goes for around six months. I would recommend the solution to other users. I rate the solution a nine out of ten for user support and community engagement.
Since I've worked with the solution for nine years, I'm well aware of its visibility. I will promote the solution if the business needs align with what can be achieved with OutSystems.
Overall, I rate OutSystems an eight out of ten.

OutSystems: An outstanding platform, if you know what you're doing
What do you like best about the product?
Development of business applications as well as customer facing applications is fast and relatively simple to do in OutSystems. Prototyping is easy and it takes a lot of standard development work out of a developer's hands. This means more time to work on parts of software that really distinguish your application from others. If you set up the architecture in the right way, development is even more faster because the reuse of components.
OutSystems has a Forge which offers a variety of plugins that are mostly free to use. This makes it easy to extend your factory and you don't have to program functionality yourself.
OutSystems offers template screens, web applications and even mobile apps. This is a great way to start building applications fast. The components from OutSystemsUI are easy to use and offer all the functionality needed, in most cases. And if not, search the Forge or build it yourself.
Learning OutSystems is easy. It offers a lot of (online) courses and guided paths. When following and completing a guided path, developers are able to put their knowledge into practice. Ofcourse, as always, they'll still make mistakes and will get better when gaining experience.
The OutSystems Community offers a lot of support. Reactions are fast and fellow developers often create little pieces of sample software in order to help. That's a very big advantage. Community members are all about helping everyone making to most of their experience with OutSystems and delivering value to their business. Not only the community members, but also OutSystems customer support reacts fast en is very willing to help.
Last but not least, OutSystems has AI infused into the platform. With the help of AI, OutSystems makes suggestions for the next component to use in a flow when developing applications, based on best practices and frequently used pattens. Tools like AI Mentor Studio help to monitor the quality of your factory and technical debt.
All and all, it's an outstanding platform.

What do you dislike about the product?
Ofcourse, like most platforms, there are also a couple of downsides. While the Forge offers a wide range of plugins that you can use, the quality of support on these plugins varies. Even for some plugins that are supported by OutSystems. On top of that, one would expect that some functionality which is considered standard nowadays, would be out of the box available but isn't. Ofcourse, it can be created yourself but still.
Error messages aren't always clear and it doesn't take all work out of your hands. You still have to think really carefully about things like UX and architecture. OutSystems lets you create software very fast and because of that, it can also let you make a mess very fast.
Finally, the licencing costs are high, especially for smaller projects and companies and they increase disproportionate.

What needs improvement?
I would like to see improvements in versioning. It can be challenging to keep track of what changes should be committed, especially when many developers are working in one environment.
So, I would like to see support for different version models especially when multiple developers are working on the same module, it can be confusing to know which changes need to be deployed when comparing and merging codes.
In future releases, A built-in chart feature would be useful. We had to use Google Charts plugin for dashboards. Native support for charts, like bar and pie charts, would be beneficial.
