Outsystems - Redeeming Time
What do you like best about the product?
Over the past couple years I have been using my lifetime-developer account to create prototypes using this low-code platform. I love it! I have had absolutely no formal training using this tool, yet, I have been able to create complex prototypes, integrate to Azure or other SQL databases and help other developers do the same. The wizards do 80% of the work of creating your list and edit forms. When working with complex data structures, the Service Studio always seems to know what you haven't assigned yet and is always make accurate and "educated" guesses about what you may want to do next. It is so much faster than writing code and the deployment model almost always assure that you always have working or at least publishable model to come back too. Result, is I can spend more time with my family!
What do you dislike about the product?
I was going to say that it needs a better workflow tool, but I just heard that is coming out in Q1 2020. There is only one minor nag that I don't like about Service Studio and that is there is a parameter in the bindings configuration files that is not big enough and I'm having to manually edit this file and increase that number several times a week (defaults back after upgrade or problem). It's a known issue and I've seen it on the forum and I'm sure it just because I have a complex application that is probably pushing some limit. Or perhaps there is a design issue that I haven't learned yet....all in all though it's a great tool and I highly recommend it even if just for the lifetime developer account.

What do you like best about the product?
My favorite component of the application is the RESTful API integration and Integration Studio. Being able to customize extensions to legacy systems is a big selling point.
What do you dislike about the product?
XML integration with SOAP could use some more polish. Many XML data sources (sadly) do not provide a WSDL file, especially legacy or government systems. I also wish that OutSystems supported SAML OOTB instead of having to use a separate connector.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
At our city, we are solving problems ranging from asset management, work orders to business licensing. It cuts down on response times and processing times, making life easier for citizens and employees alike.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Start with small applications first before moving to bigger implementations. The platform works best when apps and modules work together instead of trying to build 1 or 2 all encompassing apps.
Don't Worry about the how it works and just focus on the task knowing it will work.

Outsystems uses the latest UI patterns for web development that handles various screen sizes automatically in their Reactive Web App development flow. The Forge has been adding new verified components and has been able to help extend the platform's capabilities.
What do you dislike about the product?
Lack of test automation tools to perform regression tests. Feature branching is not available.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Allows us to dev and test in a different environment than production. This has allowed us to make changes and have users test it before releasing it. Outsystems has allowed us to extend the capabilities of other SaaS platforms to serve different custom processes.
