Outsystems is more than a tool with a future, it is the future of massive application development.
What do you like best about the product?
Modular development. The possibility to create modules allows a great autonomy at the same time that promotes team work. The integrations in forge, promoted by the fantastic community also make the use of Outsystems much more efficient.
What do you dislike about the product?
It is not open to all languages and the process of taking source code from the applications that are built is also quite difficult to carry out. On another different point, the prices charged only allow it to be available to large enterprises.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
One of the world's biggest problems at the moment is the difficulty in guaranteeing qualified labor in the technology field. This way Outsystems can solve 2 problems, the lack of manpower, because it is relatively easier to learn to program with Outsystems, and the lack of time, producing an application faster than if it was necessary to use programming languages.

What is our primary use case?
We use OutSystems for the same purpose as Mendix, but we recommend Mendix for mobile applications and OutSystems for B2C or B2B web portals. OutSystems has strong features for creating web-based portals or eCommerce marketplaces.
Mendix supports Java, while OutSystems supports .NET. We are using the latest versions of OutSystems. We are partnered with Mendix and OutSystems. We have access to their partner portal, so we don't need to worry about developing applications, proofs of concept, or prototypes using OutSystems.
OutSystems has on-premise and cloud versions. It can be deployed on AWS, Azure, or GCP. OutSystems is available as a Platform-as-a-Service, as well. OutSystems can be hosted on Azure, GCP, or AWS, and you can deploy OutSystems components on OutSystems PaaS.
What is most valuable?
The architecture of OutSystems is quite simple, and the features are similar to Mendix's. OutSystems has connectors for different enterprise apps and solid reporting capabilities. You can also integrate with any content management platform like SharePoint or Adobe Enterprise Manager, or something like that. You can also create and integrate workflows.
What needs improvement?
We'd like OutSystems to add stronger workflow-based automation similar to what Appian offers. It needs more workflow modeling and RPA features.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using OutSystems for the last three years.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
Like Mendix, OutSystems has a highly scalable and flexible architecture.
How are customer service and support?
We are an OutSystems partner, so I have an excellent rapport with alliance managers and their technical architecture team and technical support. They're incredibly supportive. I rate OutSystems eight out of 10.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
We are using almost all the local solutions, including OutSystems, Mendix, Appian, etc.
How was the initial setup?
Setting up OutSystems is straightforward.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
OutSystems isn't expensive. It's very similar to the cost of Mendix. If customers have a good relationship with OutSystems or Mendix, they can get a better price. The solutions have a similar pricing model, including licenses for single or multiple users.
What other advice do I have?
I rate OutSystems nine out of 10. OutSystems is the market leader in the local area space on the Gartner Magic Quadrant. As a user, I can say OutSystems is on par with Mendix, and the features are similar, so now it depends on the use case.
For example, some customers prefer Mendix because they have SAP ecosystems, so they will go with Mendix because it offers native SAP support. Mendix has SAP adapters that are all license-free. These are cost reasons people might choose Mendix. However, there are some cases where an SAP might go for OutSystems because the license is a bit cheaper.
