Good for omni-channel banking, but development ease should be improved
We sell solutions to companies, and I'm a part of the banking team Omni-channel banking is valuable. Development ease should be improved. It should be easier for developers. It is stable. It is scalable. Their support is average. It is neither good nor bad. I would rate them a three out of…

Helps us efficiently streamline repetitive tasks, but they could provide improved connectors to integrate with outside platforms
The OutSystems' most effective features for speeding up development cycles are the process orchestration and the drag-and-drop updating of business processes. I would recommend it to a friend or colleague, especially if they are looking for a solution that is easy to deploy and helps streamline internal processes. I rate it a six out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Omni-channel banking is valuable."
"The scalability of OutSystems is very good, it scales automatically very useful for us."
"OutSystems' low-cost approach has positively impacted our productivity, because we were able to develop faster with OutSystems, enabling us to implement many changes during our sprint."
"We have no complaints surrounding both the scalability and stability of this solution."
"The most valuable feature is Agile development. I love that you save a lot of time on development and can focus on logic and business requirements."
"In terms of user support and community engagement, I rate the tool a ten out of ten."
"Their out-of-the-box UI is quite good."
"The solution is all-encompassing and very easy to use with its drag-and-drop feature."
"It is a scalable solution...The initial setup of OutSystems is easy."
 

Cons

"Development ease should be improved. It should be easier for developers."
"There are many tutorials available but they are very basic and good for learning the platform. To develop an enterprise-grade application, advanced tutorials need to be developed to help IT professionals design/develop high-quality/performance applications."
"In my opinion, the support and the pricing could be better."
"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."
"Writing custom code still needs to be done via Integration Studio. This might have been added to the IDE."
"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."
"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."
"The solution is costly."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is an on-prem solution. It comes at a one-time cost, and then there is probably a yearly subscription."
"There is a need to make yearly payments towards the licensing costs attached to OutSystems. It is an expensive product."
"I think the pricing for OutSystems is comparable with similar solutions. I would place it somewhere in the middle. We pay for the bundle and don't pay anything extra in terms of licensing and other fees."
"As for licensing costs, I'm not directly involved in that aspect."
"It is not an expensive product, especially if you have access to more features and deal with more projects."
"OutSystems is a good solution, but it's not cheap."
"The subscription is billed on a yearly basis."
"It is still very expensive, so small companies can’t generally afford it... Still, the time saving on development and delivery is worth the value."
"It's not cheap. It's pretty expensive."

The short answer is that OutSystems is far better for 2 main reasons. Firstly, with Service Now you are locked into that platform for good. The business model is to lock in and then keep pumping th...
