The fastest way improve business process and deliver high quality work

  • September 15, 2020
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The simplicity but yet powerful platform which simplifies not only the developing process but also the deploy. It's a huge time saving. It also has a component free store, which you can use to download community made libraries to help speed up even more your development. There's the service center which you can see applications logs, events and more, it's really well organized. There's also an application called Architecture Dashboard, which analize your flows and make suggestions based on the best pratices, helping the development team to grow up and keep delivering valuable software.
What do you dislike about the product?
Well I know that the company has some high costs to make the platform useful for us, but I didn't like so much the pricing range, it's really designed for mid-high companies. I wanted to see it on the small companies aswell as the software startup factories. I think OutSystems has to spend a time to think in a business way for the small companies to jump in! Other point that I can cite is that we do not currently have an Development Studio for Linux, I think the Linux community on TI is huge so should think about an Linux version of it. Currently There's versions for Windows and Mac.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I'm delivering high quality and complete software solutions, both, web and mobile. The benefits it's the speed of the development and the way you can customize the platform, you can even write C# code inside it if you want. There's nothing you can't do with it.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Don't be afraid of the pricing range, if you can afford it, go ahead. You will fall in love with all the things that the platform offers and it will help you to growth your business.

What do you like best about the product?
The absolutely quick way you do the things, it doesn´t matter if it´s a single web page or a complex n-tier application. And, of course, the free environment witch allow us to try, study and check the power of the platform.
What do you dislike about the product?
The price of the certifications. But it´s not really necessary to enter in the OutSystems world, learning (there´s have a lots of official great quality content material´s free) or start your journey at OutSystems
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
- Eliminate the 'pain' of having to know dozens of new technologies every now and then
- You don´t need to wait month to see a MVP of a final solution successfully deployed in Production env
Recommendations to others considering the product:
OutSystems community is made of passionate guys with full of energy to help each other solving problems or doubts. The free official materials/courses has great quality. The platform is awesome and you can build web and mobile systems really quickly.

開発のしやすいツール

  • August 31, 2020
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
ノーコードで開発が進められるところと、工数の時間がとても短縮される点。打ち合わせの場で、アプリを作って実演をすることができるので非常にインパクトを持ってもらえるという点。
What do you dislike about the product?
何でもできてしまうがゆえに、全てを作ってしまいがちになってしまうという点。他のクラウドサービスがあればそれを使えばいいと思えるような案件も過去には何度もありました。
それ以外では価格が年々値上がりしているというところ。特に日本市場においては、大企業といえど、予算を少なく始めるところもめずらしくはない、しかし、価格が高いとOutSystemsの提案をしても他の製品に負けてしまう。
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
開発期間が短い案件や、社内向けのモバイルアプリケーション開発。特にモバイルアプリケーション開発をWebエンジニアでも作れてしまうという点が非常に驚きです。
Recommendations to others considering the product:
価格面を除けば、機能でこまるということはありません。やりたいことをこの製品単品で実現できるだけの能力を秘めています。

OutSystems - Simple yet powerful platform.

  • July 20, 2020
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
OutSystems provides lightning fast development with integrations to almost all platforms like SAP etc. It has very unique and better way of consuming and exposing Restful web services which I used.
Deployment of application from one server to another is made very easy OutSystems provides pipelines to enable faster deployment between environments.
Dev-ops is very friendly of OutSystems anyone who has basic knowledge can work on it.
Visual development is very developer friendly that eliminates the need to write long multiple pages of code, so it is very good.
What do you dislike about the product?
It is all cloud based platform that does not allows any of the process to go offline.
the development is also fully dependent on internet we cannot develop any application offline so it is a thing that I particularly dislike.
The preview is also dependent on internet since it is fully cloud based, I dislike this but it is not a disadvantage of this platform.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I have been developing enterprise application with the help of OutSystems for a big Singapore based client. The development is lightening fast and all king of work can be done here.

Excellent software development lifecycle for large enterprises or citizen developer

  • July 09, 2020
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Outsystems help software development faster with powerful security, robustness, and scalability. I can develop web and mobile applications with the same platform with zero learning curve to learn another language or platform to build the same.

It is a low-code but it is a very powerful tool to build mobile and web applications and can create a custom code library using extensions and reuse some of the built-in functions and community components using forge.

What I like the most is there's a lot of tutorials, documentation, online courses, and webinars to learn the platform and use that to gain certifications.
What do you dislike about the product?
Cross-platform is somewhat not yet supported like the Service Studio and the platforms itself that it needs windows to run it perfectly. I'm well aware that it is a low-code development and I know that some of my coding skills are decreasing.

Some of the features of version 10 are not included in version 11 like the SEO site rules, reactive and mobile analytics, but I think there's a pending development on this and I know that there's a lot of room for improvement.

The job community is somewhat very low to find and certifications are pricey and the pool of Outsystems developer is not that huge compared to other popular programming platforms.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The productivity of our team is increased drastically and we only focus on the business logic problems instead of fixing a program bug that takes time to finish. All our new applications are built on top of Outsystems and we are planning to convert some of the legacy systems to Outsystems to improve user-experience and maintainability to resolve some hardware incompatibility.

We are innovating some of our workflows to benefit our business group and the whole organization.

I think the main benefit of Outsystems to our organization is the ability to adapt to changing environments and structures, that our applications can handle easily without worrying about the maintainability of the project due to its low-code environment, everyone our team can maintain and enhance the system in no time.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
There's a huge benefit when using Outsystems for SMEs like a cost for software development and business workflows.

Easy deployment using Outsystems using a low code development platforms

  • July 08, 2020
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The most helpful part of Outsystems is that they have a low code development platforms that can be used by any employees with no coding experience who wants to build applications for their own business processes, And also it is easy to deploy an application quickly. When the application has a bug or something to fix using OutSystems platforms. The benefit I realize using this platform is that deploying fixes in OutSystems is easy and quick.
What do you dislike about the product?
Developers may become platform-dependent and not all companies can afford using OutSystems. This means going to a different company can be hard because you need to refresh your memory on the semantics of other programming languages. Here are the disadvantages of using the platform:



1. It does not appeal to the hobbyist due to the way OS sells its products. I think this is an overlooked point.

2. The visual approach is wonderful but forces the developer also to take good care of the naming, comments, etc. Without it, it can be surprisingly hard to read code from other developers.

3. I would love to see the OS visual approach to other things and programming languages. I think this is a missed opportunity for OS.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
When the application has a bug or something to fix using OutSystems platforms. The benefit I realize using this platform is that deploying fixes in OutSystems is easy and quick.And as I said earlier the developers may become platform-dependent and not all companies can afford using OutSystems. This means going to a different company can be hard because you need to refresh your memory on the semantics of other programming languages.

Good and powerfull tool that builds good looking apps in no time.

  • June 30, 2020
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The development-speed is amazing with outsystems. Programming task with wich we used to loose a lot of time, go much faster now. This allows us to focus a lot more on our end-user experience and get the end-user involved in the process of making the application they are looking for.
What do you dislike about the product?
It took me a while to get used to this new way of developing. I used to be a java-dev. It also took me some time to get used to the service studio interface.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
the introduction of outsystems in our company, also came with the introduction of agile-scrum working. Outsystems allows us to be able to deliver value to the bussiness after every iteration.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
free your mind, jump into it. Use the guided paths from the website.

A promising platform for web and app development.

  • June 12, 2020
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
You can quickly build screens all the while being able to preview them in real-time,
Built in operations like login, registration,
SAP integration,
Creating apps is also pretty intuitive,
Extensive forge plug-in's,
Good forum community , very helpful if you have questions.
What do you dislike about the product?
No SEO for reactive web apps,
If you go for a cloud solution, you lose access to certain functions like: writing on filesystem.

Jack of all trades master of none, meaning you can build all kinds of nice web/apps like: online shops, intranet, corporate website - but as soon as you stray from the path to wanting to build more complex out of the box solutions you end up finding more roadblocks than solutions.

Lack of real app demos. The documention relies too much on text, but sometimes its important to get a feel and see the full extended capabilities of the platform.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We've built all sorts of solutions. From simple online forms, backoffice operations to SAP migrations. We have also built 2 separate apps.
The main benefit is saving time when building screens. You also don't need to worry about user databases and registration since that is built-in. The logic is also easy to implement and visualize in real time.
Debug is also a much easier task
Recommendations to others considering the product:
First try a personal account and play with what you can build and see if it offers what you are seeking.
See also if the switch from coding to low-code will not mean loss of functions.
