The visual program provides the advantage of only requiring one skill set for both the front and backend
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…

Great UI and out-of-the-box integrations, but needs expanded cloud platform support
Given the rapid pace of innovation we’ve already seen from Unqork, there are a few major capability gaps we face currently. However, some areas of improvement and features we would benefit from in upcoming releases include: 1. Enhanced accessibility compliance - While meeting baseline standards, further WCAG conformance and widgets optimized for screen readers could expand access for disabled users of Unqork solutions. Added compliance certifications would also be welcomed. 2. Expanded cloud platform support - The addition of Azure and Google Cloud alongside AWS would allow our deployment options to better align with enterprise strategic cloud choices outside just Amazon. 3. More analytics and observability - Increased telemetry on app performance, component reuse rates, load testing etc. would help fine-tune Unqork solutions. More data and dashboard visibility into adoption would optimize our ROI. 4. Managing technical debt - As portfolios of Unqork apps grow over time, best practices and features to facilitate updating legacy components, refactoring old solutions, and preventing erosion will be helpful. Added controls to manage technical debt long-term. 5. Evolution of existing components - Existing rich widgets and connectors rounding out maturity with incremental capabilities would expand Unqork's versatility. Expanding the range of use cases served by current components. 6. Offline functionality - For mobile solutions, some limited persistent caching and offline usability during intermittent connectivity would better support field agents/inspectors. Tolerating offline states is key. 7. Design version control - Advancing visual version control capabilities for better design history, branching, merging, and reverting changes to Unqork sites would improve collaboration and prevent overwrite errors by nontechnical users.

Cons

"The initial setup is a little difficult."
"It's difficult to do the component version control. I would like them to add more studying materials."
"Since we first started using OutSystems, they switched their language support from Java and .NET to .NET only, which was a bit of a surprise. Their language support could be better in this sense, although on our resource side it is now a bit more flexible."
"Its ability to create and run automated tasks could be better."
"The product could benefit from improved connectors to integrate with outside platforms."
"The new version could be improved."
"The PDD framework can't be used for the behavioral-driven development way of working."
"The technical features are good, but the actual commercialization is out of reach."
"The addition of Azure and Google Cloud alongside AWS would allow our deployment options to better align with enterprise strategic cloud choices outside just Amazon."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The tool’s licensing is based on the user’s usage."
"The solution is expensive."
"You should contact OutSystems for more details but my opinion is that it is not for small business budgets."
"It is not an expensive product, especially if you have access to more features and deal with more projects."
"The price is okay. OutSystems isn't expensive. It's a mid-range solution."
"For a single application, it's too expensive."
"There are no additional costs with the standard license."
"It is still very expensive, so small companies can’t generally afford it... Still, the time saving on development and delivery is worth the value."
