"The integration points need to be increased. People have also started to adopt this solution for their regular needs. That means it's not only the big enterprises that are adopting this solution. There are also small and medium enterprises that are adopting it. I've read that where you have large deployments, OutSystems starts to crumble a bit. That is the idea that no customer would know at the beginning and would also not like to hit the wall there. When it is on the client, there are a lot of applications already on low-code, and then suddenly you realize that you want to do some big applications, and you face hurdles. This is the general feedback for all such platforms."
"The installation is a bit tedious."
"The latest version of the app generation tools could be more user-friendly."
"Currently, in mobile applications, we don't have push notifications."
"The solution's testing framework needs to be improved, and the workflow should be slightly more mature."
"The tool needs to improve the efficiency of its widgets."
"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."
"The technical features are good, but the actual commercialization is out of reach."
"The solution is a bit expensive."
"UI needs to be more intuitive and user friendly."
"Salesforce introduces a lot of products and sometimes rebrands them, causing confusion. They acquire products like W and retain their names, creating confusion in the market. This confusion isn't related to the product's functionality but rather its positioning and rebranding. For instance, what was once known as Community Cloud is now referred to as Experience Cloud. This can be confusing for business leaders."
"The interface could be more user-friendly and offer more customization."
"An expensive solution requiring a lot of configuration."
"Some business functionalities could be improved."
"Salesforce Platform operates as a cloud system, and within our organization, numerous internal systems handle data processing. While real-time data retrieval is feasible through services, achieving real-time communication poses some challenges."
"I would like to see the organizational details improved to make it less difficult to bring new clients on board."
