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…

Rapid delivery has transformed complex enterprise apps and supports faster cross-domain projects
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

"Omni-channel banking is valuable."
"There is literally a ton of stuff it can do. It's very flexible."
"The flow editor is the most valuable feature. It is simple and intuitive, and it can guide you step-by-step."
"Before using Outsystems to develop a client's reporting systems, the process would take six months to complete a report, and after using Outsystems and building a custom application, report-building is one click away and it only took us three months to build the custom application using OutSystems."
"Integrations with external systems with SOAP and REST are easy to implement off-the-shelf, but a developer can always implement specific libraries for other integrations."
"We find in OutSystems a great platform that enables extraction of data from multiple sources, and working with business logic to access essential information and produce process-automation at the highest level."
"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."
"Agile development is really worth it."
"OutSystems is a robust, low-code platform that can make a big difference in your customer satisfaction."
 

Cons

"Development ease should be improved. It should be easier for developers."
"I would like to see OutSystems improve its integration capabilities, especially with emerging technologies like AI and GPT."
"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."
"Mobile apps should have been fully native."
"The customer service and support are maintaining a two-day SLA for everything. 48 hours is very high."
"I think OutSystems needs to improve in many areas. First, sometimes Service Studio becomes really slow and even hangs for long periods. Also, if I have not published my module in some time, and some kind of Service Studio exception occurs, I lose my work."
"I like the OutSystems platform. I am working on integrating it with another platform using APIs, however, it has proven to be difficult. The main issue I am facing is obtaining authorization tokens as well as access and refresh tokens. It may be due to my lack of knowledge of APIs as it is new to me."
"We'd like OutSystems to add stronger workflow-based automation similar to what Appian offers. It needs more workflow modeling and RPA features."
"We haven't yet reached the level that we need to seriously consider scaling, but from my experience it isn't so easy to scale any kind of closed platform where you start without the source."
 

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."
"It is not an expensive product, especially if you have access to more features and deal with more projects."
"The tool’s licensing is based on the user’s usage."
"The price is okay. OutSystems isn't expensive. It's a mid-range solution."
"There is a free trial to use this solution and other options available, such as enterprise. There are different subscription plans."
"You should contact OutSystems for more details but my opinion is that it is not for small business budgets."
"As for licensing costs, I'm not directly involved in that aspect."
"There is a need to make yearly payments towards the licensing costs attached to OutSystems. It is an expensive product."
"It is too expensive for small companies."
