What do you dislike about OutSystems?

In my opinion, the mode of implementation was a bit slow, it would be valuable to improve. As for the initial online training, I would like it to improve and get good results. It would be great and I would love to have prefabricated designs included. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about OutSystems?

What I like the most is the easy of develpment, versioning and lifecycle.

A platform that is easy to bring new developers and expand the community. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about OutSystems?

I dislike a lot the direction OutSystems Platform is going where more and more the platform is closing down.

For me this is a very concerning thing since to fully support live critical applications, we need to be fully in control and be able to do proper throubleshooting. The lack of access to the environment, database and hotfix procedure can make a small issue currently blocking the business a very time consuming task.

One thing that I also dislike is the way developers create unit tests, this should be something integrated in the platform.

Making this part of the platform it could easily integrate deployment cycles since this is a critical part for a proper CICD. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is OutSystems solving and how is that benefiting you?

Rebuilding an entire ERP system to replace a legacy system which is supporting our Terminals all arround the world.

Going from creating contracts with our customs with many complex scenarios, creation or orders, execution of those orders with the help of devices like tablets, integrations with sensors like temperature systems, weigh bridges, etc. Rebuidling an entire invoicing system, rebuidling a CRM system, a Customs system, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about OutSystems?

What I like best about OutSystems is how easy it makes building apps without needing tons of coding experience. The drag-and-drop interface is super intuitive, so you can get an app up and running really fast. Plus, it’s simple to make changes on the fly, which is great for adapting to feedback or shifting project needs. OutSystems also integrates really well with other systems, so you don’t get stuck with compatibility issues. Overall, it’s just a solid platform that lets you create and update apps quickly without the usual headaches! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about OutSystems?

Nothing much to add here, except for the fact that the new offerings are made only available for ODC and not also for O11 users :) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is OutSystems solving and how is that benefiting you?

OutSystems also simplifies integrating with other systems we rely on, which used to be a huge headache. Now, we can easily connect to databases, APIs, and external services, which saves us a lot of time. Another great benefit is that non-developers on our team can help build and modify apps, which takes some pressure off the core development team. Overall, OutSystems is helping us work faster, collaborate better, and respond to business needs much more flexibly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is OutSystems solving and how is that benefiting you?

It is very difficult to produce software that adapts to the rapidly changing world of the business with classical coding methods. OutSystems facilitates and accelerates this adaptation.

OutSystems helps to ensure that these business processes are well executed, automated and accelerated. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about OutSystems?

OutSystems in Carrefour is highly valued for its speed in application development, enabling teams to build and iterate quickly with minimal hand-coding through a user-friendly, drag-and-drop interface. It supports robust integration with legacy and third-party systems which is beneficial in our landscape, offering flexibility for complex environments. The platform enables cross-platform development, allowing the creation of web and mobile apps from a single codebase, and provides enterprise-level scalability and security. OutSystems’ strong community, extensive documentation, and marketplace, empowers my development teams to innovate efficiently and respond rapidly to changing business needs which is exactly what we need Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about OutSystems?

We at Carrefour believe the main drawbacks aboutOutSystems relate to cost and platform limitations. For enterprise-grade projects, the pricing can become prohibitively high, especially for larger teams or projects with heavy integration needs. Additionally, while OutSystems is great for rapid development, the low-code approach can limit customization, which can be frustrating for experienced developers who want more flexibility and control over the code. Some of our developers also note that the performance of OutSystems apps may lag in highly complex applications or where advanced features are required, and it may not be ideal for apps that need frequent, intricate updates. next we also have the ODC roll out which is pushing us back since a shift in focus and finally, the learning curve for understanding OutSystems’ specific logic and architecture can slow down teams unfamiliar with low-code platforms. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is OutSystems solving and how is that benefiting you?

the main problem is time to market. with outsystems we are managing to outpace our competitors with time to market for new apps giving us a big strat benefit. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about OutSystems?

With about 9 years of expirience with using OutSystems platform in TBC Bank I can say with confidence that it significantly reduces business application development time, costs and simplifies the development process.

With power of low-code language of OutSystems development team is focused on key business feature implementation and important architectural consepts rather than on technical details and bring value to business in shortest and easiest way. Platform simplifies business fieature implementation on all levels of software, integration with external systems, data, logic, user interface, business process. Single developer can cover development of all parts of the solution, therefore OutSystems developer is full-stack developer.

Fundamental parts of entire SDLC and CI/CD processes are easely managed with platform tools. LifeTime takes care of entire application deployment process from development to production and also privides rich API to customize deplyoemtns with custom CI/CD pipelines.

Platform allows you to extend its capabilities with custom .NET code, therefire giving almost unlimited possibilities.

Has sufficient versioning and collaboration functionality for cuncurent development.

OutSystems out of the box provides all cababilities not only to implement business application, but also tools to monitor and manage them.

Platform is used daily to by approximately therteen dedicated agile teams to deliver new features to mission critical solution.

The customer support service meets our expectations, we are getting help we are expecting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about OutSystems?

Actually there are few thing that I can list here.

First, relatively it is more complicated to find competent OutSystems developer or motivate existing one to switch technology, the last one is more related to mindset. During my practive best way was to tech traditional developers.

Second is challenge with implementing listeners to integrate with message brockers on the server side, like RabbitMQ, you can implement pull requests but not subscriber. Similar applies to UI communications with the server, it is not possible to use web sockets like commonucation.

Third issue is related to more advance source control features like branching to support isolated, idepended parall development. Because of the nature of the platform it uses different approach rather than branching - Feature Toggles, but this forge component is not supported. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is OutSystems solving and how is that benefiting you?

WIth OutSystems platform we have implemented Loan Origination Solution for all lending domains and succesfully achieved goals with less resources that in case of traditional technologies. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
