Ayush S - PeerSpot reviewer
Provides efficient process management features, but it needs more integration capabilities
We use AgilePoint for an idea submission application for our business processes. It allows managers to review and update the approved idea on the dashboard AgilePoint's most valuable feature is process management. We can integrate it with many applications including Microsoft, UiPath, and other…
DhrubajyotiBiswas - PeerSpot reviewer
Helps us efficiently streamline repetitive tasks, but they could provide improved connectors to integrate with outside platforms
The OutSystems' most effective features for speeding up development cycles are the process orchestration and the drag-and-drop updating of business processes. I would recommend it to a friend or colleague, especially if they are looking for a solution that is easy to deploy and helps streamline internal processes. I rate it a six out of ten.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"AgilePoint's automation is excellent in managing different user roles and handling data associated with a particular instance of the workflow."
"AgilePoint has improved our organization by making form implementation easier and to plan for future growth."
"I like the design and the integration capacity. It's also easy to use."
"AgilePoint's most valuable feature is process management."
"AgilePoint's automation is excellent in managing different user roles and handling data associated with a particular instance of the workflow."
"The initial setup of AgilePoint was very easy."
"The solution's workflows are its most useful feature."
"Our previous solution had other overheads such as release management, version management, code management, monitoring, etc., all of which are built-in with OutSystems."
"OutSystems is easy to use."
"It is much easier to develop applications with the product’s IDE."
"The drag-and-drop feature is very valuable."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that it allows users to easily build applications."
"OutSystems is a robust and rapid application development platform with a less steep learning curve."
"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."
 

Cons

"While the platform is good and it has a lot of options, I would like to see more alternative features in future versions such as connectors to IDM. Currently, they have only ADFS and Okta."
"Integrations and customizations should be improved in AgilePoint and other low-code solutions."
"Some issues with AgilePoint's design, AI and UX are some of the major problems we deal with when handling our company's business models or processes."
"The solution should be able to support Docker. This would help make scalability easier."
"Integrations and customizations should be improved in AgilePoint and other low-code solutions."
"It could be more flexible, but it's already a good solution for the designer."
"They should add more information about functionality."
"OutSystems does not provide any native reporting resources. All reports must be created with other tools or as a webpage."
"The product's high price is an area of concern, where improvements are required."
"The asynchronous processing and multithreading tasks for which the current resources of the platform are very generic and not built for the end-user. Any asynchronous jobs have to be constructed with an end-user dashboard to allow inspection of the status of the activities."
"The integration points need to be increased. People have also started to adopt this solution for their regular needs. That means it's not only the big enterprises that are adopting this solution. There are also small and medium enterprises that are adopting it. I've read that where you have large deployments, OutSystems starts to crumble a bit. That is the idea that no customer would know at the beginning and would also not like to hit the wall there. When it is on the client, there are a lot of applications already on low-code, and then suddenly you realize that you want to do some big applications, and you face hurdles. This is the general feedback for all such platforms."
"It needs improvement in the AI capability."
"While I can't speak to the market impact, as a developer, I've seen significant reductions in development time across different versions of our applications. One area for improvement would be the UI controls in Service Studio. Sometimes, controls don't appear in the IDE, requiring us to check them in the web browser instead. Overall, our experience with OutSystems has been positive, though improvements in UI development would be welcomed."
"The installation is a bit tedious."
"The product could benefit from improved connectors to integrate with outside platforms."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Price-wise, AgilePoint is a cheap tool and a standard application for running analytics in an IT environment."
"I believe the pricing has changed recently. We had purchased one license per server, and it was about $2,000. It was a one-time payment. It's possible that they have recently implemented a new cost structure and now have yearly subscriptions."
"I think the price is reasonable."
"It is more cost-effective than local tools."
"It is too expensive for small companies."
"It is very high price."
"I believe they have two pricing options. One is approximately $4000 USD a year and the other is approximately $10,000 USD a year."
"The solution is expensive."
"For a single application, it's too expensive."
"There are no additional costs with the standard license."
"The product is expensive and I would rate its pricing a seven out of ten. You need to pay a yearly subscription to use the product."
"For one developer to use, the cost is around $5,000."
