"It provides for faster development and better software releases."
"The visual program of OutSystems is one of the major advantages of this solution."
"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 scratch coding is useful. The solution is easy to understand."
"We used almost all of the features, themes, styling guide, and approach components. They are useful in our applications."
"We also use Salesforce to find trends to make informed decisions in terms of events and marketing campaigns."

"Mobile apps should have been fully native."
"While I can't speak to the market impact, as a developer, I've seen significant reductions in development time across different versions of our applications. One area for improvement would be the UI controls in Service Studio. Sometimes, controls don't appear in the IDE, requiring us to check them in the web browser instead. Overall, our experience with OutSystems has been positive, though improvements in UI development would be welcomed."
"We have performance issues while fetching bulk data."
"It needs improvement in the AI capability."
"Mobile apps need improvement."
"I have difficulty in using several new features. Some of the product's features are tricky to use as well."
"We have a lot of strategic accounts and large accounts that are tied with all the growth and acquisitions across North America, being able to tag parent-child accounts in an easier fashion would be better.

"The cost of data storage is an issue once the company grows."
"Better flexibility in editing emails created from templates would be great, and being able to add hyperlinks in emails for scheduling meetings would allow us to automate more."

"An improved UX may be helpful in the solution's next release."
"Some business functionalities could be improved."
"Instead of creating our own template, if we had some nice templates that we could pick up - if there were some Microsoft Word templates or Microsoft Excel templates in a repository in Salesforce, that would be great."
