I like the tool's email automation and integration with Outlook.""The most valuable feature is APIs.

"The visual program of OutSystems is one of the major advantages of this solution.""It is easy to use.""It is very stable.""The most valuable features of OutSystems are the user interface, the flexibility to quickly integrate with almost anything in the system, and the ability to connect with databases.""Our previous solution had other overheads such as release management, version management, code management, monitoring, etc., all of which are built-in with OutSystems.""Refactoring with TrueChange is very simple.""I like the mobile features the most, and there are also various features around the portal we created that I enjoy.""Scalability proved to be an exceptionally beneficial feature."

Cons
"If Kissflow can help users to be able to organize the company manuals and information, the blogs, and everything into one resource, that would be awesome.""In future releases, it would be interesting to have a repository or portal within KiSSFLOW where users can interact with the KiSSFLOW community.""There is a lag in the delay between API calls.""The integration between forms should be made easier.""Sometimes some notifications don't appear on the mobile app.""There is room for improvement in terms of stability.""KiSSFLOW needs to improve its integration.""They should increase their marketplace with existing tools so that connections are directly through connectors instead of API integrations."

More KiSSFLOW Cons →

"There are not enough resources on the market.""Mobile apps should have been fully native.""The initial setup is a little difficult.""The solution's testing framework needs to be improved, and the workflow should be slightly more mature.""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.""When shared extensions are updated, all the applications are redeployed.""We'd like OutSystems to add stronger workflow-based automation similar to what Appian offers. It needs more workflow modeling and RPA features.""The technical features are good, but the actual commercialization is out of reach."
