Makes it easy to build cross-platform with cloud-based, one-click app build system

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

"Enables me to use the same web technology to develop cross-platform native apps. The cloud-based one-click app build system is a valuable feature as well."
"In terms of user support and community engagement, I rate the tool a ten out of ten."
"We can quickly develop an application using the tool."
"The solution helps to build mobile and web applications on SOAP and REST. You can integrate it with backend systems by submitting a code."
"The flow editor is the most valuable feature. It is simple and intuitive, and it can guide you step-by-step."
"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."
"OutSystems' best feature is that you can build tests with the flow, so even the tests are made in the PDD framework in a low-code way."
"The drag-and-drop feature is very valuable."
"Our previous solution had other overheads such as release management, version management, code management, monitoring, etc., all of which are built-in with OutSystems."
 

Cons

"It would be awesome if they would work on improving the speed of the app building process."
"Scalability is not so good if you have a complex UX."
"We had some lagging issues under high data loads, and the solution needed to be customized to improve this."
"Its ability to create and run automated tasks could be better."
"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."
"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 new version could be improved."
"There is room for improvement in technical support."
"The prices should be lower. It is a little bit too high for a small market."
"The resource availability needs to be increased."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price is okay. OutSystems isn't expensive. It's a mid-range solution."
