I use it for. browser based systems for my own clients It's configured to make it very quick to build feature-rich systems. The only issue I would say is that they develop updates very quickly that are hard to keep up with. I have been using Alpha Anywhere for thirty years. It's stable, set up…
Bireswar Das - PeerSpot reviewer
A low-code platform for the development of mobile and web enterprise applications
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.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"It's very flexible."
"One thing I like about OutSystems is that there's no lock-in. You can keep running your applications because it's on .NET and hosted centrally. That's one of the advantages I see there in terms of not having an IT strategy that has a dependency on a particular platform."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that it allows users to easily build applications."
"It is a stable solution, and the initial setup is straightforward."
"The most valuable feature is Agile development. I love that you save a lot of time on development and can focus on logic and business requirements."
"Scalability proved to be an exceptionally beneficial feature."
"The technical support is perfect."
"Let's assume a project in .NET, native .NET, or Java takes around 12 months. In OutSystems, we can build that application in four to five months."
"The tool makes the development process easier."
 

Cons

"It can be slow to develop, and it's repetitive."
"In my opinion, the support and the pricing could be better."
"Its ability to create and run automated tasks could be better."
"In OutSystems, cloud management is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The largest obstacle currently associated with OutSystems is its high cost and limited availability of skilled personnel. Despite being a rapid application development platform, having a highly skilled individual familiar with the platform can be much more beneficial than an inexperienced individual. Because there is a shortage of people with the necessary OutSystems skills, utilizing the platform can become expensive. This makes little sense, considering that a rapid application development platform should be accessible to the average person. However, having a highly skilled individual can greatly increase productivity, making the cost worthwhile."
"I'd like to see AI features integrated into the solution."
"We have performance issues while fetching bulk data."
"The product could be improved if there was a shortcut, or predefined, predictable templates provided."
"There is room for improvement in technical support."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Prices vary, and they will enter into different contracts with different people."
"The pricing is mid-range.We pay only for the subscription."
"You should contact OutSystems for more details but my opinion is that it is not for small business budgets."
"I believe they have two pricing options. One is approximately $4000 USD a year and the other is approximately $10,000 USD a year."
"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."
"OutSystems is a very expensive solution, and it has to be cheaper."
"There is a free trial to use this solution and other options available, such as enterprise. There are different subscription plans."
"The price is okay. OutSystems isn't expensive. It's a mid-range solution."
"It is too expensive for small companies."
"It's not cheap. It's pretty expensive."
