### "Good for rapid development, but not necessarily high customization"

October 2, 2019

3.0

Pros

The software offers the capability to deploy software at a very rapid pace. The process to set up a basic front end is very intuitive and can be done by someone with no front end development experience. Building back end processes can also be done relatively easily be someone with little back end experience. This has the potential to close the gap between front end and back end development.

Cons

I am an front-end developer and if I am trying to build an application that looks pixel-perfect to what my design team wants, this can be a very tedious process. OutSystems has the capability to customize css but it is not very straightforward and I am often digging in the browser dev tools to figure out what classes are styling what elements. My experience would be greatly improved if I could see the markup that the OutSystems point and click application creates.

### "Leveraging OutSystems to build our applications faster with low code. "

August 31, 2022

4.0

The dev team can now push regular updates in no time & have had a great time so far with OutSystems!

Pros

Once the team was up to speed using OutSystems, everything on the tech front was handled here. Our developers leveraged this platform to build the product and even integrate some of the APIs sooner.

Cons

OutSystems is a platform with different uses, and the learning takes a chunk of our time to leverage effectively. Not to forget the pricing, which is quite high when compared to that of their competitors.

### "A great software tool to develop applications, with many new features to come!"

October 30, 2019

4.0

I have been using OutSystems from August 20, this year (2019), a bit more than two months now. The way the web courses train you to be an OutSystems developer have been great. In no-time I was put on different projects to start developing.

Pros

Creating applications with such ease, modifying and republishing all the way to production has never been more easy.

Cons

The transparency on the ideas that are supposedly 'on their watchlist', I would like some more information/insight on this.

Switched from

[Microsoft Visual Studio](https://www.capterra.com/p/80230/microsoft-visual-studio/)

Job switching, my current company uses OutSystems. A new start, a new adventure. The time it took me to 'get started' really astounded me. I can already create great applications.

### "An application building platform for those who really care about meeting user expectations"

March 19, 2010

5.0

It's a great tool to help IT deciders who focus on meeting user expectations on time and within budget. The rapid prototyping possibility along with an agile methodology really helps regaining a good reputation for IT projects. This platform has come a long way since I first started using it back in 2007. I strongly recommend it!

Pros

\- Full featured platform, no need to develop time consuming DALs; - Easy integration trough WebServices and custom extension; - Integrated direct queries to database engines, iSMS and mobile application targeting; - Allows for quick prototyping, accurate cost prediction and end user acceptance; - Available for both .Net and Java stacks; - Generates usable code; - Very easy to manage. Our users have now a rich knowledge about agile methodologies and the capabilities of this platform, they participate in building our systems in a way I could never imagine before. Most user needs are now presented in a structured and concise way by the users themselves! I've never seen this before with non-tech users on other platforms.

Cons

\- v4.2 IDE could be faster - I've tested last version (v5) and it looks spot on! - No open source database support yet.

### "Easy to use, hard to go out of the box"

October 29, 2019

4.0

Pros

It is easy to setup your own platform. Also, the ease to create application. The rapid development of the application is nice to have.

Cons

When you want to create things out of the box of outsystems is not easy to do that. The components you want to use needs to be in the forge, otherwise you need to create it by itself.

Reason for choosing OutSystems

In our opinion it adds the most value to our company

### "Definitely give this one a try"

April 29, 2019

4.0

There's not a lot to lose if you try this one out. If it gets to the point where you need to buy an enterprise license, it may be well worth it depending on your situation.

Pros

Offline data storage Free for up to 100 users... Very generous trial Can publish apps directly to app store/google play

Cons

Beyond 100 users is quite expensive Can't easily pick up projects from 1 PC to another. (from work to home for example)
