Evaluating OutSystems for MDS: Balancing Agility, Quality, and Governance
What do you like best about the product?
OutSystems promises accelerated time-to-market and enhanced agility through low-code development, enabling rapid delivery of digital solutions. For MDS, this could translate into faster innovation cycles and improved responsiveness to business needs. However, adopting such a platform also raises challenges: ensuring consistent quality across applications, maintaining robust monitoring and governance, and avoiding potential vendor lock-in. This session explores the opportunities and risks of integrating OutSystems into MDS’s technology ecosystem, focusing on its impact on quality assurance, operational oversight, and strategic scalability.
What do you dislike about the product?
While OutSystems offers significant advantages in accelerating development and reducing time-to-market, there are notable challenges to consider. The platform introduces a degree of vendor lock-in, which can limit flexibility and increase long-term dependency. Additionally, ensuring consistent code quality and maintainability across low-code applications can be difficult, especially when scaling. Monitoring and governance require additional effort to maintain compliance and performance standards. Finally, licensing costs can become substantial as usage grows, impacting the overall ROI.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
OutSystems could address several key challenges currently faced by MDS. First, it can significantly reduce time-to-market for new digital solutions, enabling faster response to client and regulatory demands. Its low-code approach can also help mitigate resource constraints by empowering business users and reducing dependency on scarce development talent. Additionally, the platform’s built-in governance and monitoring tools can improve application lifecycle management and ensure compliance with internal and external standards. Finally, OutSystems can enhance integration capabilities across legacy systems, creating a more connected and efficient technology ecosystem.
It changes my career
What do you like best about the product?
the short learning curve that most of the people experience
What do you dislike about the product?
the sales department does not negotiate properly with customers.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Providing access to ODC along with unlimited support for O11 has been very helpful.
Outsystems is a very fast concept from paper to live application
What do you like best about the product?
Outsystems is very intuitive to use and allows really fast application development. It also does a lot of things for you automatically, like error logging, reporting, etc which really eases on the developing side. Implementation is very easy too, as all widgets that are readily available, are easy to use and allows fast development.
Outsystems also makes integration of other systems, let's say through apis easy, which is a huge plus.

What do you dislike about the product?
More in the managing side, as previously we were told that we can start doing unlimited application objects, easing our development, which was then changed years later, causing significant increase in cost for many clients. Can we trust something similar wouldn't happen again?
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Outsystems makes things easy and fast to make, which allows concept to come from paper to an actual application in just weeks depending on the size of the project. You can do really fast demos and readily available tools are very useful.
We used to be happy users, hopefully a new strategy with ODC and 11 integrated makes us happy again.
What do you like best about the product?
Fast development with low code. Many knowledge in Portugal, so our oddice in Coimbra is a great success.
What do you dislike about the product?
Low code is not citizen development. Required still very solid developers. Test automation is also difficult with changing ID's for components.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have business problems which we can fix with an app based on the data of our ERP system
Cutting-edge technological solution to meet the needs of developers
What do you like best about the product?
The end-to-end approach, which allows us to test application logic while natively managing environments, gives us the opportunity to fully focus on the value of the product to be created.
What do you dislike about the product?
The proprietary approach limits adoption by the majority.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The interconnection of our systems is complex, outsystems allows to make the link

What do you like best about the product?
The speed of implementation especially as an backend integrations developer, makes the process of connecting our front ends to our core infrastructure very streamlined
What do you dislike about the product?
The SQL query editor couldn’t have more functionality even if aggregates can do most jobs some things need to be done manually and to have a better tool for it would be good
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Streamlined API consumption
I'm working with OutSystems since 2019 and I hope to continue for many more years
What do you like best about the product?

We can do it with Outsystems too
What do you like best about the product?
Prebuilt components and CRUD operations are the best from this platform. To be able to create apps in minutes, specially with AI is very good too.
What do you dislike about the product?
Can improve in terms of front end development. E.G a better canvas visual feedback in Service Studio, be able to remove unnecessary code generated by the platform. A better version control with commit message in each publish would be nice too.

OutSystems let us create MVPs very fast due to its prebuilt tools and integrations and that is veryy important to get new clients and projects.
