Easy to use, simple to create process forms, and easily expands

We'd like to see some integrative functionalities to help us integrate with other third-party tools. They should increase their marketplace with existing tools so that connections are directly through connectors instead of API integrations. I'd like more social integration. For example, I'd like them to have the functionality to send notifications via Whatsapp. If we have tools like Jira, Asana, or Monday.com - basically, various project management tools - if these tools could get connected to these process flow portals, we can immediately create a project as soon as the process gets completed. Those kinds of integrations with market leaders and third-party tools is very, very important nowadays.

More KiSSFLOW pros

"The flow editor is the most valuable feature. It is simple and intuitive, and it can guide you step-by-step."

"In terms of user support and community engagement, I rate the tool a ten out of ten."

"Refactoring with TrueChange is very simple."

"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."

"The most important features of this tool are its visual modeling capabilities and drag and drop functionality. You can see what you are coding which makes it easy to understand and maintain. They have also created a big revolution in digital transformation by introducing native mobile app development under the same IDE."

"OutSystems is a low-code solution. Most features are like drag-and-drop, so it's pretty easy to work. Thus it helps the organization by saving time for developers."

More OutSystems pros

Cons

"Sometimes some notifications don't appear on the mobile app."

"The UI, though is pretty friendly and easy to use, can be improved in some aspects."

"KiSSFLOW needs to improve its integration."

"They should increase their marketplace with existing tools so that connections are directly through connectors instead of API integrations."

More KiSSFLOW cons

"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."

"I like the OutSystems platform. I am working on integrating it with another platform using APIs, however, it has proven to be difficult. The main issue I am facing is obtaining authorization tokens as well as access and refresh tokens. It may be due to my lack of knowledge of APIs as it is new to me."

"The new version could be improved."

"There is room for improvement in technical support."

"The latest version of the app generation tools could be more user-friendly."

"Mobile apps should have been fully native."

"For a single application, it's too expensive."

"It is very high price."

"OutSystems is a very expensive solution, and it has to be cheaper."

"OutSystems is expensive, and they changed the pricing model in the last couple of years. It's changing too much and it's becoming unstable. They are constantly shifting their prices based on users, courses, and other factors."

"I would rate it five to six out of ten."

"It is too expensive for small companies."

"It is not an expensive product, especially if you have access to more features and deal with more projects."
