Senior Applications Tech Lead Security and Investigations Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Easy to Use Development Platform" April 7, 2024 5.0 Pros Very straight-forward and lots of Training Content available to be able to speed up and get ready to use the platform. Cons No Source Control, for branching of code. And a couple of bugs that are not being rectified by the vendor. Review Source Kilian H. Functional specialist Oil & Energy Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "The best RAD and Agile tool on the market" March 17, 2016 5.0 Our company (a relatively small energy supplier in the Netherlands, less than 100 employees) has used the OutSystems Platform for over five years to solve almost all of its business needs. Sales, sourcing, CRM, billing and (e-)invoicing, intrabranch communications, the customer portal - it's all developed using the Platform, without any third party software (safe the software the Platform runs on). We work in an agile fashion with short delivery cycles, providing user benefits and company value every two weeks. This shows the versatility of the Platform in providing everything we need for RAD - both for new development and for maintenance. Pros Easy, intuitive IDE; easy deployment and maintenance; highly productive; easily scalable; free personal edition in the cloud; ever evolving, embracing new technologies fast, new major versions at least once a year, bugfix releases regularly; excellent support staff; active community. Cons Pretty hefty licence fees, not suitable for small businesses. Needs additional licences for the infrastructure it runs on (MSSQL or Oracle DB). Still limited design patterns for UI design (no problem for business software, limiting for creative minds). Review Source Response from OutSystems August 19, 2016 Kilian, thanks for taking the time to write this review. It's great to hear that you're using OutSystems for 5 years now, and delivering such a wide range of applications to support your business. KM Katalina M. Ing.

Cons tenemos que tener en cuenta los requisitos mínimos porque si no cumple con esto el programa se ralentiza. Review Source İA İbrahim A. Mobile Application Developer Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Low code with OutSystems" October 23, 2022 5.0 Pros Outsystems offers a low code, rapid application development and distribution platform. It integrates with all your existing systems and offers management and analysis screens within itself. Complex workflows can be designed using visual development tools. Another feature is that we can use the application we developed in both mobile and web environments. Complex workflows can be designed using visual development tools. Another feature is that we can use the application we developed in both mobile and web environments. Cons Requires training to use the system. Another disadvantage is that to develop applications, you need to install a program in your local (Service Studio). We develop the application using this program and deploy it to the cloud environment. It is easy to do these operations, the documentation is guiding enough, but making the application with the web interface is nicer and easier, as in quickbase and caspio.

I am confident that the average website / web application could be rebuild in a few days. Pros The ease of use I amazing. With normal coding I would take a day to set everything up ( maybe more depending on the project ). With outsystems there is no need for setup. Just start a project and publish. That's it, The (web) application is already running! Also, no overly complicated data or OO design needed anymore. Outsystems mostly takes care of that. Cons There are still some really small points that need to be taken into account when developing with outsystems. to work faster, functionality wise there are still some things to be added. Also if you're looking to develop with outsystems if you're a small company, its very pricy in that scenario. Personally i would like to see a viable option for personal use / small businesses.

Pros Outsystems is a user friendly development platform that adds agility and productivity in a dynamic business environment the demands immediate results to maintain a competitive advantage. Outsystems provides continuous upgrades and features, excellent documentation , and to notch support. Try Outsystems today and be a HERO! Cons The challenge in using Outsytems is the learning curve involved to integrate with your current environment when solely using as a front-end. The templates and demonstrations are very well, but documentation and is limited when using connectors or REST services to connect to your existing database. It would be helpful to better document best practices for developing a 4 layer canvas architecture and the use of structures and lists. Not a deal beaker through.

So far OutSystems has proved its value in helping us accelerate our digital transformation initiatives both from the techology perspective and from the agile mindset approach that we're also applying throughout the company, which is a 'native feature' when using the platform. Pros Complexity encapsulation, ease of use: setup and ongoing evolution, mobile and web 'native' coverage, integration capabilities, speed of delivery leveraging an iterative and incremental approach Cons OutSystems competences in the market are short regarding the demand. So, not a techological issue.

Being then personal or professional. We don't need to have a lot of programming knowledge to start one app. Cons The customer support could be better.

Tech Lead Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Very Good Product. Very Fast Development." February 17, 2017 5.0 This product is one of the best cutting edge tool in the market for Rapid Application Development. This product shines if you to want to create web applications or mobile applications in a fast paced manner.
