Good for omni-channel banking, but development ease should be improved

Rapid delivery has transformed complex enterprise apps and supports faster cross-domain projects
Every platform or low-code platform tool is quite good in its own area, but there is always space to groom or enhance or improve. The same is with OutSystems as well. A couple of things from the integration point of view can be enhanced. If your application or the enterprise organization is tackling a huge data application where you have bulk amounts of data, it becomes a challenge for all the technologies and the same with OutSystems. You have to design your architecture in a very magnificent and decent way so that how you process your data so that load can be easily balanced. Data handling and huge data handling is a kind of challenge you may need to face. Then we have some vendor lock-in. If you are trying to migrate your application from OutSystems, then you probably get into this vendor lock-in system. Some organization may face challenges if some organization is on a small scale size. The small scale businesses may find OutSystems costly because of its high cost and pricing due to the licensing cost. Apart from that, OutSystems really plays well, and it needs a learning curve. If a traditional application or programming is there which your developers are skilled into and they are directly deployed into OutSystems, it may take some significant amount of time for them to get comfortable with OutSystems. There is a learning curve. OutSystems community is already in place, but it can more be enhanced regarding some aspects. They did organize lots of bootcamps and other user groups as well, but those can also be improved from the documentation point of view and having some integration guidebook as well. A couple of things which can be improved into OutSystems include the licensing cost, the vendor lock-in side, the learning curve, couple of integration aspects and customizations.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Omni-channel banking is valuable."
"Omni-channel banking is valuable."
"OutSystems allows you to do things really quickly; this product requires very little maintenance, and it is easy to do as compared to traditional programming solutions."
"Comparatively, as a low-code kind of platform, OutSystems is the most intuitive to use, but if you have an experienced programmer in Java and .NET like myself, then the other platform is probably a bit more flexible."
"The solution helps to build mobile and web applications on SOAP and REST. You can integrate it with backend systems by submitting a code."
"We find in OutSystems a great platform that enables extraction of data from multiple sources, and working with business logic to access essential information and produce process-automation at the highest level."
"The scratch coding is useful. The solution is easy to understand."
"You can go huge - so it is definitely a scalable solution."
"OutSystems is extremely stable; we are replacing complete back-end systems with it and are in progress to do complete mainframe replacements with it."
"It is much easier to develop applications with the product’s IDE."
 

Cons

"Development ease should be improved. It should be easier for developers."
"Development ease should be improved. It should be easier for developers."
"OutSystems does not provide any native reporting resources. All reports must be created with other tools or as a webpage."
"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 solution is costly."
"The dashboards in OutSystems could improve. There are a lot of tabs in the service center that can be confusing."
"When shared extensions are updated, all the applications are redeployed."
"Mobile apps need improvement."
"I would like to see OutSystems improve its integration capabilities, especially with emerging technologies like AI and GPT."
"The initial setup of OutSystems is not easy. It is a very heavy application that requires a lot of hardware and software resources."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is an on-prem solution. It comes at a one-time cost, and then there is probably a yearly subscription."
"The tool’s licensing is based on the user’s usage."
"It is still very expensive, so small companies can’t generally afford it... Still, the time saving on development and delivery is worth the value."
"It is very high price."
"Pricing could be a concern. You have to pay yearly, even after you have completed your development."
"There is a free trial to use this solution and other options available, such as enterprise. There are different subscription plans."
"The solution is expensive. The platform is not suitable for all of my clients. I work with labor unions and other smaller organizations that would not be able to afford the platform's current pricing model. It would be beneficial if there were a scaled-down version or a tiered pricing option that would allow me to build an app or a web app that is more cost-effective for my clients. Currently, the platform's pricing is too high for many of my clients, who would not be able to afford something in the $50,000 to $100,000 range."
"As for licensing costs, I'm not directly involved in that aspect."
"There are no additional costs with the standard license."
