OutSystems Reviews

Wherever there's a mobile platform in use, there tends to be a fair amount of application activity as well. In these situations, we've observed that it's straightforward for us to integrate our systems, and this process is also highly consultative.

To illustrate a case, the customer initially had a private cloud, essentially a data center hosted within it. They needed a disaster recovery solution, which would involve using a public cloud. This situation led to some deployment challenges due to the hybrid nature of their setup.

However, once we implemented the solution for them, they were extremely satisfied. The process was not only effective but also quite speedy. To be more precise, we completed it in around 100 days, even though they initially requested it to be done in four months. They were very pleased with the efficiency of the implementation.

We used OutSystems to develop different applications, especially those concerning environmental and sustainability governance.

OutSystems has streamlined or optimized our application development process.

The primary benefit of using OutSystems was our ability to deploy rapidly. We could deploy changes to our applications every two weeks.

Mostly, it was web applications that we created, utilizing the responsive aspect of OutSystems for traditional web applications.

We are using all aspects of OutSystems. We use it in almost all of our applications, application development, migration, and modernization. Basically, we use it for almost any traditional technology like .NET and Java.

OutSystems requires only one skill set for both the frontend and backend. As the world is heading towards scarcity of resources, this is a major advantage.

Our clients mainly use the solution for business process automation, workflow automation, and application development. They also use the tool to build a layer between their existing ERPs, like SAP and Salesforce, and the applications they use for business functions, like finance and HR. It is a bridging solution between the ERP and other applications.

The time to market is quite good. We can quickly develop an application using the tool. OutSystems is developed using .NET and Java. We can easily find technical resources who have worked on .NET and Java and leverage their previous knowledge to develop OutSystems applications. It can also be used for application development. If an end-user does not want to use the solution after two to three years, OutSystems sends the source code and the applications to the end-user. There is no dependency. It’s one of the major factors I found quite good in OutSystems.

We have been actively following the below strategy for our application development:

• Core applications and systems (SaaS-based external products)
• Bespoke Applications (using Microsoft Azure and Dotnet Application development technologies and tools)
• Quick turnaround applications for web and mobile (Outsystems)
• Portal knowledge and corporate portals (WordPress, SharePoint, DocuWare)
• Cloud Platform (Azure and AWS)
• Support within two hours on the community portal
• Access to native functionalities (camera, geolocation, QR code reader, and access to file systems, address book, and device calendar)
• Supports custom branding
• Supports custom plugins
• Silk UI response framework
• Big focus on performance
• Best practice for CSS and JS
• Tested on several modern browsers and devices
• Support and community (52000+ members, 500+ projects, and two-hour response time)

I use OutSystems with many of my customers, especially in the banking and insurance sectors, to manage internal business processes in a more efficient way.

One of the valuable features of OutSystems is the very small lead time for the delivery of projects. OutSystems offers a lot of reusable components and solutions that I can simply drag and drop and use, which has a significant impact on project delivery time. 

The integration capabilities have benefited my customers by providing many connectors out of the box, allowing for the integration of external applications or business applications.

We use the solution to automate some of our internal processes and to integrate with platforms like SAP and ServiceNow. We use it mainly for internal toolsets, streamlining repetitive tasks, and process automation.

The product could benefit from improved connectors to integrate with outside platforms.

I am a consultant for another organization. We've been using OutSystems to develop in-house applications and a convention-type application.

The solution is all-encompassing and very easy to use with its drag-and-drop feature. OutSystems has a Forge feature that allows me to drag and use predeveloped components into the platform so that I don't have to develop everything from scratch.
