OutSystems is a commercial product, and licensing fees can be relatively high. While the platform may save development costs in the long run, the initial investment might be a barrier for smaller businesses or startups with limited budgets.
It also may not be the best fit for every project. Complex applications with highly specialized requirements might benefit more from traditional development approaches, and organizations should carefully assess whether OutSystems aligns with their specific needs.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
We have used some local platforms before.
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup is straightforward. Normally, the solution is cloud-based, but it depends on the clients. For the setup of the platform, we must have a contract and license from OutSystems. The setup takes one to three weeks.
What was our ROI?
The return on investment is difficult to measure, but the time to market is much faster.
What other advice do I have?
OutSystems has a lot of traction in Portugal. We are studying Mendix and Appian to see if they could be adequate in some cases. Some clients don't have the capacity to support OutSystems, or they might be using other tools. We want to adapt to other platforms and tools. Overall, I rate the product an eight out of ten.

What needs improvement?
In OutSystems, cloud management is an area of concern where improvements are required. Searching through the logs is an area with certain shortcomings where improvements are required in OutSystems.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using OutSystems for half a year. My company has a partnership with OutSystems, and we have a lot of certified engineers.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
OutSystems has some issues with stability. When OutSystems is used as an enterprise solution or has millions of users, then there are some stability problems with your stability. When millions of users use your application, the management of the databases and caching systems is sometimes not that efficient in OutSystems.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
It is a scalable solution.
My company deals with small and medium-sized businesses.
How are customer service and support?

Positive

The solution can be deployed in a few hours.
The solution is deployed on the cloud. A user gets access to the user interface and some applications that you can install on Windows, making it a process that one person can do.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
OutSystems is an expensive product. My company has to make monthly payments towards the licensing costs attached to the solution. I am unsure about how much my company spends towards the solution's costs, but its cost runs into thousands of euros. There are some additional costs towards which certain payments are to be made, considering that one needs to pay for the end user who uses the solution.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
I know about the competitors of OutSystems. I didn't choose any of the competitors of OutSystems since it was a product that already existed in my company.
What other advice do I have?
A person is required to maintain the solution.
If someone needs to show their customers really fast results of the development phase of an application, OutSystems is a very good solution that is expensive at the same time.
I rate the overall tool an eight out of ten.
