"Streamlines Business Processes with Intuitive UI"
4.5/5
What do you like best about OutSystems?

I like OutSystems for its user interface and integration aspects, which best suit all our business processing needs. I've worked with many workflow tools, but this one seems to be the best fit. The reusable block feature is particularly valuable as it can be used more generically across multiple applications or within the same application. Additionally, I found it very easy to set up, which made onboarding quite straightforward. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about OutSystems?

I don't like the deployment process. Sometimes if there is a generic application, it needs a separate deployment plan, but the dependent applications also expect to be deployed together due to changes in existing blocks or components. This needs to change. Also, I have to open the dependent module separately while refreshing the dependency, which should be improved. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Empowering Our Business with OutSystems Agility"
4.5/5
What do you like best about OutSystems?

I like OutSystems because they consistently release new features and possibilities, particularly through their agent tech AI every eight to nine months. This frequent introduction of new capabilities allows us to be among the first to utilize these features, which helps us enhance our systems and make them stronger. The agility that OutSystems offers with these updates matches our expectations, enabling us to create applications faster and make use of reusable tools to onboard employees, partners, and customers efficiently. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about OutSystems?

Well, yes. Definitely, OutSystems has RBAC kind of a facility. We need attribute-based access control, ABAC, we call it. If that is possible, it will help us in creating access controls for different users on the same form. If that feature can be developed, it would be really helpful.

"OutSystems Makes Development Feel Effortless"
5/5
What do you like best about OutSystems?

I've been working with OutSystems since 2010 and I was able to witness the growth of this AMAZING platform. The ease of use, the number of features that are launched, the speed of development, the ease of integrating with whichever system, makes the development look effortless.

I use the platform on daily basis for 16 years now and I can't imagine myself working on another platform that's not OutSystems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about OutSystems?

The same way the platform makes it very easy to implement, it also opens the door for some performance issues that, unfortunately, people tend to think it's a platform issue and not a development quality issue. The pricing is also something that might affect Customers to get in into OutSystems ecosystem. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Simplified Development and Optimal Performance"
4.5/5
What do you like best about OutSystems?

I appreciate the simplicity of development thanks to low code in OutSystems, as it simplifies application development and speeds up delivery times. This ensures an effective and always optimal time to market. I also like the simplicity of application creation, speed, streamlined workflow management, monitoring, software quality and stability, software reuse, and optimal performance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about OutSystems?

Yes, I believe that on OutSystems the module for viewing dependencies between modules should be optimized. I think it is not particularly intuitive to use and not well organized in displaying the information. It would be more useful to show a graph or a graphical hierarchy of the dependencies.

"User-Friendly Platform That Keeps Improving, Backed by a Supportive Community"
5/5
What do you like best about OutSystems?

I’ve been working with OutSystems for the past four years, and I really like how user-friendly the platform is and how much it helps me optimize my work. I also appreciate that there’s always something new to learn and improve, and that the community is consistently helpful and supportive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about OutSystems?

I think the certification price could be more developer-friendly for OutSystems developers who are currently working with the platform and already have a previous certification. I have some friends who sometimes take about three months to get a certification voucher from their company, so they end up preferring to pay for it themselves rather than wait that long.

"I love how fast OutSystems can develop and their customization is also top notch"
5/5
What do you like best about OutSystems?

The Data Fabric is what finally won me over - as opposed to having to migrate data out of your CRM or other API’s or Legacy Databases, you simply create a virtualized representation of all of the data types you want to work with and then use SQL to query it as if the data were already merged together - sounds too good to be true but it generally works. Development Speed - Yes It Is Real - The amount of boilerplate code and compile times have been removed and you simply login and begin developing and something functional appears quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about OutSystems?

The UI Components are the weak link and it is really a major issue if your company has strict Brand Guidelines - you can create something functional quickly, but creating it to look “exactly” like the application you would have created using a real Web Framework is really painful and takes a lot of time. Petty One - In Expression Rules, the Input Parameter Boxes Are Tiny And You Can’t Resize Them Which Is Just Annoying Daily Inconvenience For Developers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Rapid Development with Robust Tooling"
4.5/5
What do you like best about OutSystems?

I use OutSystems primarily for rapid application development and delivery of ERP-grade web and mobile apps. I have leveraged it to build scalable internal tools, automate business workflows, and efficiently integrate with existing systems. What I like most about OutSystems is the speed of development combined with strong built-in tooling. Features like visual development, one-click deployment, and seamless integration capabilities make it easy to go from idea to production quickly. These features directly improve both productivity and reliability in my day-to-day work. Visual development lets me design the UI, data models, and workflows in a single interface. The integration capabilities are especially valuable because most ERP apps don't exist in isolation. The setup of OutSystems was quite straightforward. Since it's a low-code platform, most environment setup, configuration, and deployment steps are streamlined. I would rate it 9 out of 10, as OutSystems is highly effective for rapid development as well as for deployments. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about OutSystems?

Debugging complex issues can sometimes be less transparent compared to traditional coding, especially when abstraction hides underlying behavior. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Rapid Deployment with Intuitive AI Features"
5/5
What do you like best about OutSystems?

I use OutSystems to develop large-scale project-based applications rapidly. It makes end-to-end development a lot easier, allowing for quick and instant development. I appreciate how it helps solve deployment complications, making it simple to create and deliver apps. I like the Agentic AI feature and the one-click publish with the ability to add comments, which makes it easier to track and trace in environments with many people. The initial setup was very easy and straightforward with the help of guidelines and steps. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about OutSystems?

I think the time to publish could be reduced a bit. As it takes time to publish. Publishing tends to take time so enhancing would be beneficial. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Speeds Up Development with Flexibility"
4/5
What do you like best about OutSystems?

I like how you can easily swap components and your infrastructure, and it also seems to connect systems together. It's valuable to our customers that we can easily speed up development and bring components and applications to production without too much hassle. Not only is the speed great, but also the quality, which is very useful for us at ASR. The initial setup was fairly easy thanks to our partners. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about OutSystems?

I think they can improve, like, the basic CSS stuff styling front ends can improve on that. And also, the 11 capabilities, they can also improve a little bit more I think. But they're really pushing to improve that now. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Faster Releases and Automation-Friendly UI, but UI Upgrades Can Break Scripts"
3.5/5
What do you like best about OutSystems?

Development of new features , fixing bugs and deploy to test is way faster as compare to other platform.

Learning curve os also way shorter than other platform.

Writing UI automation end to end flows is also faster . UI works well as with automation tools like low code testing tools like Tosca, Leapwork etc.. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about OutSystems?

Most of the time when OutSystems does UI upgrade , it update the DOM structure for example change the UI element , with causes failure in the automation script, fixing automation scripts after every UI upgrade is time consuming Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
