Featured Reviews

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.
Rajeev Lochan - PeerSpot reviewer
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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"OutSystems is easy to use."
"You can go huge - so it is definitely a scalable solution."
"The scratch coding is useful. The solution is easy to understand."
"We have no complaints surrounding both the scalability and stability of this solution."
"Scalability proved to be an exceptionally beneficial feature."
"The most valuable feature of OutSystems with discipline and the development processes. Instead of each developer doing tasks on their own with their own approach, et cetera, the solution would help bring some organization to the development process."
"The most valuable feature of OutSystems is the drag and drop and toolchains in the small AI developing environment. Additionally, the documentation is helpful."
"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 features of Unqork that I find most valuable include its performance and security."
"Unqork is stable."
"I rate Unqork's technical support as nine."
"Unqork's performance is better than Power Apps, which can be slow with many components."
"Unqork has helped reduce the time complexity and development time significantly."
"The platform is a no-code environment, making it easy to create applications by dragging and dropping components."
"Unqork is user-friendly and allows easy navigation for users without technical knowledge."
"Unqork is a great choice over other BPMS tools like Pega."
 

Cons

"We have performance issues while fetching bulk data."
"OutSystems could improve by being more like GitHub. It would be more helpful for us for division management and version control for our application."
"I would like to see improvements in versioning. It can be challenging to keep track of what changes should be committed, especially when many developers are working in one environment."
"I have difficulty in using several new features. Some of the product's features are tricky to use as well."
"There are not enough resources on the market."
"The prices should be lower. It is a little bit too high for a small market."
"The integration Studio could be improved. It needs a tool in which we could develop C# code and then integrate into OutSystems. The application could have a better UI."
"We had some lagging issues under high data loads, and the solution needed to be customized to improve this."
"I feel that the design and view aspects of Unqork could be improved. I need to add extra CSS to enhance its appearance."
"Unqork could benefit from allowing more flexibility in creating projects and extending them to other languages like JavaScript, Angular, or React."
"Unqork is not an extremely mature solution. Many things that I worked with them on were functionally basic but missing from the platform."
"The area that needs improvement in Unqork is its performance."
"The loading speed is very slow. Page responses are also unsatisfactory; when margins are added and components are shifted left or right, they do not respond properly, causing overflowing issues on the website."
"Without proper guidance, one might create a clunky and difficult-to-use system from a developer's perspective."
"There are areas in Unqork that need improvement. The ongoing development of the Vega feature, which is built on React compared to the older Century built on AngularJS, should be optimized."
"Occasionally, during server-side execution with multiple loops, we encounter timeout issues, which is something we've had to address with technical support."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There is a free trial to use this solution and other options available, such as enterprise. There are different subscription plans."
"OutSystems is an expensive product. My company has to make monthly payments towards the licensing costs attached to the solution."
"You should contact OutSystems for more details but my opinion is that it is not for small business budgets."
"OutSystems was open to a deal that worked for both sides."
"The price is okay. OutSystems isn't expensive. It's a mid-range solution."
"I believe they have two pricing options. One is approximately $4000 USD a year and the other is approximately $10,000 USD a year."
"The subscription is billed on a yearly basis."
"It is very high price."
