"The most valuable feature of the solution is that it allows users to easily build applications."
"Once built, web/mobile components can be reused in all new developments. In addition, the OutSystems Forge is very useful. We can exchange components and even already-built applications, reducing costs to build specific solutions."
"It is a stable solution."
"Refactoring with TrueChange is very simple."
"The most valuable feature is Agile development. I love that you save a lot of time on development and can focus on logic and business requirements."
"For me, the most valuable feature is the flexibility the tools give us to change any customer requirements on the fly, when we are in a meeting. I also like how easy it is to deploy the code between environments and how easy it is to integrate OutSystems with other systems."
"I find it to be a genuinely cool and effective platform for my development needs."
"The most valuable feature of OutSystems is the drag and drop and toolchains in the small AI developing environment. Additionally, the documentation is helpful."
"It would be advantageous if the web server could seamlessly pick up configuration changes without the need for a complete restart."
"From the Domino side, it should support DKIM and DMARC."

"Its performance and integration could be better. It has capabilities for large deployment with several servers, but in the latest interface, running with different servers isn't supported."
"The client version of this solution could be faster and be made simpler for non-IT users. You will need to have some knowledge of Notes to correctly install this solution."
"The solution could improve Kubernetes or Dockers migration to new environments in the cloud."
"It needs improvement in the AI capability."
"The product could be improved if there was a shortcut, or predefined, predictable templates provided."
"I think OutSystems needs to improve in many areas. First, sometimes Service Studio becomes really slow and even hangs for long periods. Also, if I have not published my module in some time, and some kind of Service Studio exception occurs, I lose my work."
"The largest obstacle currently associated with OutSystems is its high cost and limited availability of skilled personnel. Despite being a rapid application development platform, having a highly skilled individual familiar with the platform can be much more beneficial than an inexperienced individual. Because there is a shortage of people with the necessary OutSystems skills, utilizing the platform can become expensive. This makes little sense, considering that a rapid application development platform should be accessible to the average person. However, having a highly skilled individual can greatly increase productivity, making the cost worthwhile."
"In my opinion, the support and the pricing could be better."
"Currently, in mobile applications, we don't have push notifications."
"The PDD framework can't be used for the behavioral-driven development way of working."
"We have performance issues while fetching bulk data."
