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

"The solution is stable."
"The best thing is that a person without knowledge about the program can easily understand what happened in our testing process."
"Integration with automation frameworks, keywords, and tags allows for saving time writing test cases and implementing automation."
"The most valuable feature of CucumberStudio is its use of action words, which allows me to avoid writing test cases from scratch for the most common scenarios."
"The most valuable feature is the re-usability of action words."
"The data table that helps in converting a single script to multiple test cases is very helpful."
"CucumberStudio has a very user-friendly interface."
"The URL is very useful, and it has a very good UI for deploying information of the scenarios created."
"We have no complaints surrounding both the scalability and stability of this solution."
"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."
"We can quickly develop an application using the tool."
"The scratch coding is useful. The solution is easy to understand."
"There is literally a ton of stuff it can do. It's very flexible."
"OutSystems is a robust, low-code platform that can make a big difference in your customer satisfaction."
"It is fantastic how fast we can build an application."
"The drag-and-drop feature is very valuable."
 

Cons

"More tutorials and examples."
"Yes, it is not stable when you create a data table that includes more than 30 elements, so it can lose your data."
"It needs some improvement when exporting scenarios into automation code, to make it easier to manage the repeatable action words and tests."
"Support with In-App chat is great. However, it would be awesome to have real time support also for PT timezone."
"The reporting needs to be improved."
"The reporting aspect can be improved."
"Another kind of deployment might be useful, perhaps an option to install the tool in a local deployment."
"I would like to see better customer support."
"I've read that where you have large deployments, OutSystems starts to crumble a bit."
"In the future with OutSystems, improvements could be made on the costing side rather than the feature side."
"Mobile apps should have been fully native."
"We have performance issues while fetching bulk data."
"The biggest challenge for us is the licensing model and the cost of OutSystems."
"The initial setup is a little difficult."
"It is hard to find the logic in OutSystems. From an improvement perspective, I want to be able to properly use logic in OutSystems."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"I believe they are very strict with their pricing platforms, or the pricing policies, and it changes."
"It's not cheap. It's pretty 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."
"It is very high price."
"The subscription is billed on a yearly basis."
"The solution is expensive."
"I believe they have two pricing options. One is approximately $4000 USD a year and the other is approximately $10,000 USD a year."
