What do you like best about the product?
SPEED! ... of development, agile cycle times, and app run-time performance is ground breaking.
UX! ... the quality of the SilkUI is awesome!
DEBUGGER! ... is simply the best I have ever seen! I find errors in my LOGIC super fast!
What do you dislike about the product?
Honestly, the big reason why I chose OutSystems for my firm is because I've not found anything that I truly DISLIKE. Trust me, that is hard to believe. I know, I can't believe I am saying this. For 25+ years as a technology leader, I've waiting for such a platform. It's now REAL.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am starting TWO new companies at the same time. The ease of re-use across the two companies has been incredible. We are building B2B and B2C apps for the employee benefits and healthcare finance markets.
I'm also building apps for internal sales, marketing, and ops teams.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Kick the tires in the FREE "Personal Environment" ... it is the perfect test.

The stuff that dreams are made of

  • December 09, 2016
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The first great thing about OutSystems Agile Platform is that it make everything easy. By removing the standard-but-trickier part of all websites/apps, it allows the development team to focus on the real issues. And instead of watching pages and pages of code, there are modular blocks of operation that are quite easy to understand, but anyone can add the old-fashioned code if they like or have to.
The second best part is that OutSystems controls its product like few companies do, and offers bootcamps and a single online community so that everyone can start working by the book and reach all the pros in no time. You can do it on your own to start, or you can jump into the the professional version and see architecture recomendations, design and usability, server performance and everything else.
No need for any particular set of skills to do a full stack application. It can be a one person job, or a full team working on the product. As long as they follow the Agile methodology, the final product can't go wrong.
What do you dislike about the product?
After working in OutSystems is hard to go back to other tools, and that includes doing extensions (C#/Java) to connect Agile Platform to external libraries.
And while debugging the native quality rules (like the use of transactions) may cause problems to developers not used to good code. It takes a while to correct bad habits.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
By working in the fast moving consumer goods, the issues are diverse. We solved problems of Human Resources, Sales, Marketing, Quality, Logistics... Most applications are for internal use, but they are business critical and the business is very flexible (and applies to several countries). We are having the best time to market ever.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
You can give it a try online and free. That will be enough to convince most of the non-believers.

Solve business problems instead of technical ones

  • December 08, 2016
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
As a old-time c# coder I love the fact I can focus on solving business problems instead of technical issues. I have no worries about dependencies and low-level stuff. Furthermore the TrueChange is awesome. I really have no trouble to refactor, move methods around and clean up stuff. Maintenance is fun as well. The new features in P10 is very welcome for the mobile department as well as the desktop environment.
What do you dislike about the product?
As a lowcode platform it lacks certain flexibility, but those are only edge cases nowadays. Ofcourse the versioning could have some loving by check-in comments but it's all in the nitpicking categories.
As long as it don't evolve in a old-school IDE i can manage most of the dislikes.
There is no perfect tool and there never will be.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
All sorts of business problems, from invoicing, webshops and plain websites. The speed of change and flexibility is the biggest benefit. The easy of refactoring datamodels and simple yet effective way of implementing security measures is a big plus.
Customers see how easy and fast changes are implemented and are very happy with it and are becoming more active in the development itself instead of waiting in the backroom to see what it has become.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Embrace the change and don't be afraid you are boxed with this tool.
It's hugely dynamic and you can still use c#/java if you really really need to.
Upgrades are a breeze and every new major release will surprise you everytime!

Outsystems and Futuresystems

  • October 27, 2016
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The platform is, quite frankly, amazing at what it is says it does. It is a strong and capable tool for enabling a very intuitive development environment, over which both small and sharp, as well as large and still efficient applications can be designed. In my honest opinion, the strongest selling point of Outsystems is that it removes from developers the need to do a lot of background coding, putting together a strong suit of features focused on nurturing the creative spirit of the development process
What do you dislike about the product?
The integration studio and its relationship with the development service studio is not as easily understood for a still novice user, as is my case.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Mostly HR and contact center related business applications. The fast deployment of new outsystems application versions enables fast response to contact centers requirements.

The best Reviewer

  • October 27, 2016
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Very easy to use, allows a complete novice to enter the IT world and make great apps in a very fast and rather simply way.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometime it can be very tricky to understand what is the errors that the system signals, specially in the service center monitoring screen. Also it can be difficult to use JavaScript since the the field of input looks just like a string where we don't have any feedback for the code.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am currently improving and doing maintenance for an already in use app, two year old, that process timesheets for company and client employees, and their salary processing also. The app is made in avery tricky and confused way, the lack of proper documentation process or a very simple and direct way to see the relation of all the eSpaces in use.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
See the films of who fast and easy it is to do an app.
