Ideal platform for software development.
What do you like best about the product?
The platform outsystems, is an ideal work system for application development that are based on administrative processes, the visual environment of outsystem development is oriented, to create the applications in a faster and easier way, executing the instances much faster that in another type of the development system that runs on windows or in the cloud, for me, one of the biggest advantages of this system, is the creation of applications for all types of devices in less time, here I can perform all kinds of tests, before launching the application to the market, or deliver it to the client, decreasing substantial work times.
What do you dislike about the product?
Los cotos de la aplicacion son un poco altos, me parece que falta un mejor analisis del mercado, para ver a que personas o empresas quieren llegar, la plataforma esta destinada para pequeñas y medianas empresas, la mayoria de estas tratan de abaratar costos de todas las maneras, otra cosa que no me gusta de esta aplicacion, es que despues de un tiempo, se puede ver muy basica, ya que no se ven mejoras o cambios de la plataforma en el ultino tiempo, es como si enfocaran su plataforma a todos los nuevos desarrrolladores, pero para los que ya cuentan con mas experiencia en este sistema, no hay manera de dar nuevas herramientas.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have a platform in the cloud, where you can perform all kinds of administrative applications, we also have the environment where you can test this type of project, the speed of development thanks to custom templates improves a lot, and you can create new projects in greater quantities, with less work time.
It is a good experience with outsystems, I can create simple webapplication with in the short time.
What do you like best about the product?
It is a low code platform. with out the database (sql) knowledge can create the tables and relations and can create the applications with in the short period of time.
What do you dislike about the product?
I dont think, but we can not change the font color, size etc easily (my feeling) for widget.[ I am thinking to do this we need to check CSS code.]
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I have solved many business problems like business data is saving and retrieving easily using scaffolding directly drag and drop the attributes.

What do you dislike about the product?
• Priced at the high end and not cost effective for small scale development
• Shows some signs of instability in the publishing process with very large and complex projects
• On the PaaS version you are heavily restricted on access to the infrastructure and cannot get access to simple functions such as SQL replication or database maintenance options.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Outsystems was chosen as a platform to rewrite a legacy product developed over 30 years and bring it into the cloud. It has been a really good choice for an organisation that had no web or cloud experience and has helped avoid many of the basic mistakes that could otherwise have been made. Whist there are some limitations on flexibility and price the benefits and speed to market far out way these.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Don’t assume that because the development is easy that you will have an easy path into the app stores. You still need to comply with all the app store restrictions.
