Luis Gerardo Meneses Hernandez - PeerSpot reviewer
Creates versatile applications seamlessly across platforms
I like the simplicity of making panels with Flutter. It is easy to use when you understand the code, know how to use Docs, and understand the components of Flutter. It allows you to create fragments that look good and work on both mobile and web environments. Additionally, it works for both PC and iOS devices.
DhrubajyotiBiswas - PeerSpot reviewer
Helps us efficiently streamline repetitive tasks, but they could provide improved connectors to integrate with outside platforms
The OutSystems' most effective features for speeding up development cycles are the process orchestration and the drag-and-drop updating of business processes. I would recommend it to a friend or colleague, especially if they are looking for a solution that is easy to deploy and helps streamline internal processes. I rate it a six out of ten.

Pros

"FlutterFlow offers a lot, but one feature that really helps me is the debugging features that allow me to test everything on the spot. This is really helpful."
"The most valuable features of FlutterFlow are the integrations and workflows."
"I like the simplicity of making panels with Flutter."
"It allows you to create fragments that look good and work on both mobile and web environments."
"The most valuable features of OutSystems are the user-friendly platform. The drag-and-drop feature is great. I have used other rapid application development tools before, but they were not as advanced as OutSystems. With the previous tools, I had to manually build certain features, but OutSystems does it automatically."
"The most important features of this tool are its visual modeling capabilities and drag and drop functionality. You can see what you are coding which makes it easy to understand and maintain. They have also created a big revolution in digital transformation by introducing native mobile app development under the same IDE."
"The solution is all-encompassing and very easy to use with its drag-and-drop feature."
"I find it to be a genuinely cool and effective platform for my development needs."
"The technical support is perfect."
"Integrations with external systems with SOAP and REST are easy to implement off-the-shelf, but a developer can always implement specific libraries for other integrations."
"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."
 

Cons

"There is room for improvement in advanced functionality so it could cater to more complex app development needs."
"Scaling depends on project requirements."
"The UI components could be more standardized. Sometimes, for certain properties, I have to search more than I do with other platforms. With other platforms, once you know one, you know all. But with FlutterFlow, sometimes you have to look around for what you need."
"I am trying to see how it can be integrated with the backend. That said, I haven't gotten there yet."
"I would like to see OutSystems improve its integration capabilities, especially with emerging technologies like AI and GPT."
"The tutorials for the solution should be updated."
"I think OutSystems needs to improve in many areas. First, sometimes Service Studio becomes really slow and even hangs for long periods. Also, if I have not published my module in some time, and some kind of Service Studio exception occurs, I lose my work."
"The asynchronous processing and multithreading tasks for which the current resources of the platform are very generic and not built for the end-user. Any asynchronous jobs have to be constructed with an end-user dashboard to allow inspection of the status of the activities."
"I would like to see more integration between the use of artificial intelligence to speed up the process delivery time."
"I'd like to see AI features integrated into the solution."
"The product could benefit from improved connectors to integrate with outside platforms."
"In my opinion, the support and the pricing could be better."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I would rate the licensing costs a three out of ten, with ten being expensive and one being cheap. Currently, I use the free version."
"I believe they have two pricing options. One is approximately $4000 USD a year and the other is approximately $10,000 USD a year."
"For one developer to use, the cost is around $5,000."
"The price is okay. OutSystems isn't expensive. It's a mid-range solution."
"The solution is expensive. The platform is not suitable for all of my clients. I work with labor unions and other smaller organizations that would not be able to afford the platform's current pricing model. It would be beneficial if there were a scaled-down version or a tiered pricing option that would allow me to build an app or a web app that is more cost-effective for my clients. Currently, the platform's pricing is too high for many of my clients, who would not be able to afford something in the $50,000 to $100,000 range."
"For a single application, it's too expensive."
"I believe they are very strict with their pricing platforms, or the pricing policies, and it changes."
"It is too expensive for small companies."
"As for licensing costs, I'm not directly involved in that aspect."
