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

"The data table that helps in converting a single script to multiple test cases is very helpful."
"Scenarios, since is a really easy way to create and control your test cases."
"The most valuable feature of CucumberStudio is its use of action words, which allows me to avoid writing test cases from scratch for the most common scenarios."
"CucumberStudio aligns with our strategy for data-driven testing."
"Integration with automation frameworks, keywords, and tags allows for saving time writing test cases and implementing automation."
"CucumberStudio has a very user-friendly interface."
"The most valuable feature is the re-usability of action words."
"Hiptest is a great test management tool for agile teams."
"It is easy to use."
"The most important features of this tool are its visual modeling capabilities and drag and drop functionality. You can see what you are coding which makes it easy to understand and maintain. They have also created a big revolution in digital transformation by introducing native mobile app development under the same IDE."
"The visual drag and drop environment in OutSystems has helped tremendously in application development in my experience, and the features and capabilities I have found most valuable and useful include the drag and drop integration capabilities."
"One of the valuable features of OutSystems is the very small lead time for the delivery of projects."
"We can quickly develop an application using the tool."
"It provides for faster development and better software releases."
"Their drag-and-drop functionality is amazing."
"Agile development is really worth it."
 

Cons

"The reporting needs to be improved."
"CucumberStudio's API integration could be improved both in terms of reliability and design."
"A key area for improvement is to revamp outdated components such as HipTest publisher."
"The reporting aspect can be improved."
"More tutorials and examples."
"Another kind of deployment might be useful, perhaps an option to install the tool in a local deployment."
"The reporting and metrics can be improved. E.g.: If we wanted to have metrics across all projects."
"Support with In-App chat is great. However, it would be awesome to have real time support also for PT timezone."
"Reporting is very light."
"The latest version of the app generation tools could be more user-friendly."
"Technical support would get a three out of five, as there is some wait time involved and some solutions were not adequate."
"The new version could be improved."
"The PDD framework can't be used for the behavioral-driven development way of working."
"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 customer service and support are maintaining a two-day SLA for everything. 48 hours is very high."
"The technical support is quite good, although it could be better: it currently fluctuates a little depending on how busy they are."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"There is a free trial to use this solution and other options available, such as enterprise. There are different subscription plans."
"For a single application, it's too expensive."
"OutSystems is a good solution, but it's not cheap."
"OutSystems is expensive, and they changed the pricing model in the last couple of years. It's changing too much and it's becoming unstable. They are constantly shifting their prices based on users, courses, and other factors."
"I would rate it five to six out of ten."
"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."
"I believe they have two pricing options. One is approximately $4000 USD a year and the other is approximately $10,000 USD a year."
"Pricing could be a concern. You have to pay yearly, even after you have completed your development."
