The Rapid Application Delivery Platform of the future already available today
What do you like best about the product?
ALM Features, ease of development and deployment, web and mobile, technology imdependent
What do you dislike about the product?
missing of unit testing features (I don't consider the unit testing framework as a very good solution)., missing of tools to test the quality of the code (duplicate code e.g.), hard to copy data from one environment to another, the tablenames that can change from one environment to another
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Able to deliver quality mobile and web apps a lot faster than via standard development.
Fantastic low code platform
What do you like best about the product?
Where do I start? The ability to develop and deploy the full stack quickly and easily is second to none. In addition, the platform TrueChange tab allows you to find where all of your obvious bugs are, and won't even allow you to publish until they all are resolved, making sure that the simple mistakes won't be detrimental to your application. Recently I've been heavily developing in platform 10, and the mobile and offline capabilities of this version are tremendous.
What do you dislike about the product?
The primary issue that I've had with Outsystems is the lack of powerful advanced data grids. The grids are okay in taking care of basic to intermediate needs, but if you need something with the power of KendoUI, you need to go elsewhere to get it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have a very small development team, and we've been able to successfully manage all of the needs much better than we could with any other platform. Outsystems allows us not only to develop and deploy very quickly, but change orders and bug fixes are EXTREMELY easy. I've loved that aspect of the platform almost more than anything else. It has been possible for us to be able to keep our IT costs down with fewer developers, yet still deploy quality products in a timely manner.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It's a niche product because it isn't free, but if you have enterprise-level projects for desktop and mobile and want one code base, I would highly recommend Outsystems.
Outsystems accelerates time to market and time to ROI
What do you like best about the product?
The platform is incredibly flexible and meets the needs of customers regardless of how complex their requirements are. Developers can more quickly meet the demands of their jobs while at the same time doing so in a manner that promotes reusability and understandability.
There is a wealth of knowledge within Outsystems and in their community of developers. This can prove invaluable when you need additional information on a topic. Also, there is a large set of pre-built applications from the Outsystems Forge that can be used for reference or to kickstart an application.

What do you dislike about the product?
The platform is easy to get started with but takes more time than I originally thought to get proficient with especially with some of the more complicated patterns.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Enterprise level application development for products to sell to external customers.
The ability to rapidly prototype ideas and modify those prototypes on they fly.
The ability to produce so much more with fewer developers.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are having issues with meeting business demands in terms of quantity of deliverables, timing of those deliverables, quality of those deliverables, and attempting to contain software development costs, it would be well worth your time to investigate whether this platform would be right for you. I think that you'll be pleasantly surprised.
Simony awesome
What do you like best about the product?
The easy way of creating apps. And it's a visual tool
What do you dislike about the product?
CSS need to be published every time it's changed
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Improve relation between client and customer.
Great working with OutSystems
What do you like best about the product?
I experience OutSystems as an easy to use tool which makes it possible to realize applications together with customer representatives along the journey towards realizing a new application. Sitting together behind the monitor and build the application they want/need, making modifications on the fly and see the result right away after 1-click-publish.
Very important for me as well is the fact that I can talk about the process a customer goes through and build the main processes of the application instead of building a data model and menu to access data in that model.

What do you dislike about the product?
I experienced some limitations when migrating large amounts of data to OutSystems. OutSystems has a lot out-of-the-box features to import data from for example Excel sheets or use data from databases outside of the OutSystems environment. When I started to import >100K records, I faced throughput time of hours. Luckily extensions in several languages (C#, Java) are available in the community or can be custom made to get rid of that issue.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Just started using OutSystems (1/2 year), so few successes booked until now: generally replacing manual data processing. Also performing several time consuming validations (due to manual data retrieval from different systems) and presenting information from different systems in one application.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Take a serious look at it!
The best RAD application
What do you like best about the product?
The speed how we build a complex app for web and mobile
What do you dislike about the product?
The sofware units coud be a limitation, and the if we have a small business the price of a license is too high.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Faster development, Easier to find and solve bugs and runtime errors
Recommendations to others considering the product:
how fast we can delivery app's with outsystems
It might have changed my life
What do you like best about the product?
I like that it is quite easy for people outside from the IT world to connect with it and to start a career in IT. It happened to me and I'm pretty happy with the decision that I've made by embracing the challenge of working with OutSystems.
What do you dislike about the product?
At this moment i don't have complaints about OS. As i said before i am happy working with it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It is much faster to deploy an application making the relationship between the company and its customers much more enjoyable. Right now i am solving problems regarding the migration of applications built with "classical" tools to OutSystems.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It ables you to embrace the IT world without having to graduate in IT quite easily.
Outsystems 10 - Great Ideas, Great surprise!
What do you like best about the product?
The offline feature is just what was missing on Outsystems. Without a doubt a giant step in developing on this platform.
What do you dislike about the product?
The presentation app didnt worked, but its not a big deal because we got to see the final product anyway.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
At my company we have great need of accessing apps offline, so the offline feature is a really great plus for us.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Just go for it!!!
Developing with Outsystems
What do you like best about the product?
It's very intuitive and it's not needed to code everything from scratch.
It's visual so it enables us to see what we're doing in a quick way.

What do you dislike about the product?
The screen size of the platform should be adapted to high resolution screens (2K)
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
To develop fast solutions, and quickly adapt to the customers needs without spending much time.
Learning OutSystems
What do you like best about the product?
I started my trainee journey in September 2016 and I'm already able to program and implement my own applications from scratch. Learning to use OutSystems is blindly quick and it is not indispensable to have education in IT, as me, a Chemical Engineer Student, learned the basics from the get go
What do you dislike about the product?
There is not much to dislike at all. The user interface is excellent and the platform gives us some clues to what to do next. Maybe the learning rate is a bit hard to keep up with sometimes, but with little extra work at home, anyone can do it
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I still haven't solved any "real world" issues, as I'm still a trainee, but in little more than a month, I can already see how to solve some problems companies might get faced with
