"I like the mobile features the most, and there are also various features around the portal we created that I enjoy."
"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."
"The scalability of OutSystems is very good, it scales automatically very useful for us."
"The product is mostly stable."
"The architecture of OutSystems is quite simple, and the features are similar to Mendix's. OutSystems has connectors for different enterprise apps and solid reporting capabilities. You can also integrate with any content management platform like SharePoint or Adobe Enterprise Manager, or something like that. You can also create and integrate workflows."
"Speed of delivery: We were able to reduce development time by 30%."
"I run my own business and the solution allows me to invoice and pay for additional resources. It has helped me in terms of invoicing, quoting, and doing recruitment measures."
"It is low-code. We are able to go in and create apps quickly. It is very helpful for the size of our company. We're a mid-size company, and at this moment, we don't need anything externally. We don't have to go out and consult a consulting firm to build something from the ground up. So, the ease of that and being able to get development quickly up and running has been good for us."
"QuickBase is an excellent product and it is very easy to get support."
"The product is easy to use."
"It has superb ease of use and no code needed to create and build apps and databases."
"Considering factors like functionality and price, the product proves to be worth the investment."
"Allows users have anytime/anywhere access."
"It has helped streamline and simply track status and collection of data from suppliers and other internal departments."
"We'd like to see more integration capabilities in the future."
"There is room for improvement in error handling and debugging."
"It's easy to use."
"Technical support could be faster, and more accurate."
"It would be beneficial to have a feature that allows users to split the opportunity into separate logs for each product."
"One of the major problems with it is what PowerApps calls the delegation warning. Regardless of what platform, data source, et cetera, that you're using, you can't retrieve more than 2000 records."
"As far as dealing with SharePoint, it'll allow you to ha manage up to 2000 rows, however, performance-wise, they're recommending that you just keep it at the default of 500 rows."
"Most of my training for what I do has been by watching or learning in the community. There needs to be better training on either one of these."
"It needs improvement in the AI capability."
"The technical features are good, but the actual commercialization is out of reach."
"The tutorials for the solution should be updated."
"Since we first started using OutSystems, they switched their language support from Java and .NET to .NET only, which was a bit of a surprise. Their language support could be better in this sense, although on our resource side it is now a bit more flexible."
"The product could be improved if there was a shortcut, or predefined, predictable templates provided."
"One of the biggest areas for improvement is that every time an existing data element is modified, it creates a new data element. It doesn't really modify that particular data element. So, a user has to follow an extra step of removing the existing data element and bringing in the new and modified data element that is being added, which sort of goes into negative productivity."
"OutSystems could improve by being more like GitHub. It would be more helpful for us for division management and version control for our application."
"The initial setup is a little difficult."
"The mobile app has improved, but it still needs work."
"I would like the product to add more working processes."
"They could enhance the ability to link records between tables directly without the need for additional automation to increase space and time."
"The improved developer interface in some areas can be difficult to use for complex items."
"I would like to see the reporting enhanced because some of them are not easy to generate."
"Access to more standard default layouts and sample builds would be useful, and access to more training on use and flexibility."
"Its UI needs improvement. They should improve it and make it a little bit more modern. We should also be able to have more real-time information that connects with other software platforms. It has an open API, but it doesn't always connect with some of the other platforms that we would like to utilize. These are probably two of the biggest things for us, and hopefully, they will keep ensuring that in the future, they continually build QuickBase to be a little bit more efficient in that regard."
"Whenever we do onboarding, or we get new employees, there tends to be a delay of not just a week but a couple of weeks, and sometimes even a few weeks of being able to see certain new employees in the system."
