What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes the database side of things can be a little cumbersome
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Quicker time to market which results in happy customers, it enables our developers to feel more satisfied also
Great overall, needs polish.
What do you like best about the product?
1. It turns ideas into secure, scalable apps fast through visual development, with scaffolding, and solid DevOps/lifecycle built in.
2. End-to-end platform: data, logic, UI, and CI/CD in one place with strong integrations, reuse, and governance.
3. Reactive web/mobile, reusable patterns, and tooling let teams ship enterprise features in days, not months.
4. New AI features are easy to understand and use.
Overall: reduces the time of implementation and allows focusing on the challenge we try to solve.
What do you dislike about the product?
1. Licensing/runtime costs climb at scale, making small or experimental apps harder to justify.
2. The real learning curve is architecture and governance at scale; teams ship fast but can accrue debt without guardrails.
3. No automated testing is missing, which leads to full end-to-end coverage needing extra tooling and effort.
4. ODC is a very dark black box. It lacks transparency, explainability, and auditing features. Great tools like the ODC Agent Workbench are not capable of shining because of this.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
OutSystems compresses the full SDLC, so we turn backlog into working, secure apps much faster with fewer handoffs and bugs.
It solves slow, fragmented delivery by unifying integrations, scaffolding CRUD and patterns, and giving us governance out of the box, which shortens time-to-value and raises quality.
It accelerates legacy modernization: we can wrap/replace customers old systems with APIs and reactive UIs without big-bang rewrites, reducing risk while improving UX and maintainability.
It addresses the full-stack talent gap; visual dev and reusable modules let a small customer team ship enterprise features while senior devs focus on architecture and guardrails.
It tames integration sprawl with connectors and data modeling, so services are consistent, errors are handled centrally, and maintenance overhead drops.
It enables safe AI adoption, so we move POCs to production with governance, auditability, and real business impact. It shortens the sales-to-delivery process.
It standardizes delivery (pipelines, environments, and reviews) so releases are predictable, compliance is easier, and outages tied to manual steps are reduced.
It boosts reuse across apps (blocks, libraries, Forge components), letting us deliver features to customers once and scale them everywhere, saving both time and budget.
OutSystems 2025 Review: Powerful Low-Code Platform for Rapid Enterprise App Development
What do you like best about the product?
What users like best about OutSystems is its ease of use and robust application design capabilities, which allow for rapid development of enterprise apps with intuitive drag-and-drop tools and customizable templates. The ability to extend UI and programming code, along with excellent workflow and data management features, makes building complex solutions fast and straightforward. OutSystems also stands out for its AI-assisted development and strong deployment options, supporting both web and mobile platforms efficiently
What do you dislike about the product?
Some common dislikes about OutSystems are its steep learning curve due to heavy reliance on visual coding, which can be more complex than expected for those from a traditional development background. Users also mention challenges with CSS maintenance, version control integration, and higher licensing costs, especially for larger projects or organizations. Additionally, deploying on non-Windows servers or customizing infrastructure can be limited compared to other platforms
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
OutSystems solves the problem of slow, complex software development cycles by enabling rapid visual app creation, reducing the need for extensive hand-coding and allowing both technical and semi-technical team members to contribute effectively. This boosts productivity and helps organizations deliver applications faster, improving their ability to respond quickly to market changes and business needs. As a result, companies benefit from reduced development costs, greater agility, and easier maintenance of complex solutions.
Have recommended faster development alternatives to companies and supported MVP planning for startups
What is our primary use case?
I am working as a consultant for African companies that are considering all kinds of plans to reach European export readiness, and in that case, I have used some source information to inform them. I'm not looking for a platform solution myself, but I have spread the suggestions to look at this to approximately 20 companies.
I've recommended looking into the phenomenon of low-code solutions, and that's what they are considering. There are a few coding companies, and they see that they are losing traction because of the lack of speed that they have compared to other faster solutions. That's why I suggested to them to have a look at the options of no-code and low-code solutions, and that's what I used your report for.
What is most valuable?
I have recommended OutSystems for startups that were looking for an MVP solution, and also, I have recommended it in situations where very rigid enterprise structures are blocking them from being agile. I advised OutSystems to be used in flexibilizing the current application landscape.
What needs improvement?
What I would like to see is more servicing business analysts in the next release of OutSystems. The direction of the business analyst could be improved.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been familiar with OutSystems for 10 years now.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
I have experience working with Mendix. OutSystems also, and Betty Blocks is another Dutch no-code platform.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
I've seen some differences between OutSystems and Mendix, and I see OutSystems is more convenient for developers who have been coding. They will appreciate OutSystems more than Mendix, which really has a very business-savvy angle.
There's no exit strategy in OutSystems. If you start working with OutSystems—but that's not the sole problem of OutSystems; it's, in fact, the case for every low-code and no-code solution. If you want to leave it or want to go to another technology, you're kind of stuck, and it will cost you a huge investment to get rid of that.
What other advice do I have?
I am mainly consulting.
I have been working in this field for 28 years now. I have been working as a Senior ITI consultant for CBI, also for IPD in Germany, Sequa, GIZ, and Mastercard Foundation.
I find the pricing of OutSystems reasonable in any way. If I look at the infrastructure investments that companies are doing in the enterprise, compare it to SAP, for instance, then I really think the pricing of OutSystems, but also of Mendix and other platforms, is making a lot of sense at this moment.
I do not have any partnership with them or am I a reseller at the moment. I stay away from that because I don't have the time for it and it doesn't pay me.
On a scale of one to ten, I rate OutSystems an eight.

Developers can create applications that work across different operating systems and devices, including web and mobile platforms. This cross-platform capability ensures a wider reach and consistent user experience across various devices. so just one application can run of all devices, including responsiveness of application.
What do you dislike about the product?
OutSystems' pricing can be prohibitive, especially for smaller businesses or individual developers. The base price often doesn't cover a full enterprise application, and costs are typically geared toward larger organizations, making it challenging for smaller applications to justify the expense.
while the large budget project can only afford the OutSystems technology.
On the other hand, the support for developers is somewhat limited within the community itself. for the IOS application it is somehow lacking the completed development functionality.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Currently every business need their tech problem solution in minimum time. that's where the outsystems comes in picture. with business requirement we can develop a complete application ready for the deployment to the end users. it has functionality to do real time changes for the end users so that tech business don't need deployment for each small changes.
