Featured Reviews

Timothy Soares - PeerSpot reviewer
It's a good solution for those with limited coding experience
The visualization of the data pages could be improved. You have to a lot of tweaking to make the visualization stand out. It's basic, but there are a lot of options. So you really have to do a lot of customizing on that part. They could add some templates that are more attractive than the basic ones. It would be helpful if you could start with something that's already built rather than working on standard templates from scratch.
Sukrut Joshi - PeerSpot reviewer
Enables users to develop applications quickly and has a responsive and helpful technical support team
The time to market is quite good. We can quickly develop an application using the tool. OutSystems is developed using .NET and Java. We can easily find technical resources who have worked on .NET and Java and leverage their previous knowledge to develop OutSystems applications. It can also be used for application development. If an end-user does not want to use the solution after two to three years, OutSystems sends the source code and the applications to the end-user. There is no dependency. It’s one of the major factors I found quite good in OutSystems.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Caspio was user-friendly compared to other solutions. As someone who doesn't know a lot about coding, I found it easy to create a web application on this platform."
"We used almost all of the features, themes, styling guide, and approach components. They are useful in our applications."
"Refactoring with TrueChange is very simple."
"The most valuable feature of OutSystems with discipline and the development processes. Instead of each developer doing tasks on their own with their own approach, et cetera, the solution would help bring some organization to the development process."
"The visual program of OutSystems is one of the major advantages of this solution."
"I really like the one-click publish feature in OutSystems. In other development tools/languages, it's not as easy. I also like how easily I can manage all my projects in one place."
"One of the valuable features of OutSystems is the very small lead time for the delivery of projects."
"The tool makes the development process easier."
"We can do the validation before calling the API."
 

Cons

"The visualization of the data pages could be improved. You have to a lot of tweaking to make the visualization stand out. It's basic, but there are a lot of options. So you really have to do a lot of customizing on that part. They could add some templates that are more attractive than the basic ones. It would be helpful if you could start with something that's already built rather than working on standard templates from scratch."
"The technical features are good, but the actual commercialization is out of reach."
"I would like to see more integration between the use of artificial intelligence to speed up the process delivery time."
"Currently, in mobile applications, we don't have push notifications."
"The initial setup is a little difficult."
"The cons involve delays in project timelines primarily due to the time taken in requirements refinement and challenges faced when adding new features, making it somewhat complex to manage and maintain applications as they grow in scale."
"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 initial setup of OutSystems is not easy. It is a very heavy application that requires a lot of hardware and software resources."
"Writing custom code still needs to be done via Integration Studio. This might have been added to the IDE."

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

"The price is okay. OutSystems isn't expensive. It's a mid-range solution."
"OutSystems was open to a deal that worked for both sides."
"OutSystems is a very expensive solution, and it has to be cheaper."
"You should contact OutSystems for more details but my opinion is that it is not for small business budgets."
