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

"It provides for faster development and better software releases."
"It is a stable solution."
"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 scalability of OutSystems is very good, it scales automatically very useful for us."
"Scalability proved to be an exceptionally beneficial feature."
"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 easy to use."
"OutSystems is a low-code solution. Most features are like drag-and-drop, so it's pretty easy to work. Thus it helps the organization by saving time for developers."
"Unqork is a low-code, no-code platform that is easy to use compared to traditional development."
"I would recommend Unqork because of its time-saving capabilities and ease of use."
"Unqork UI behaves consistently across devices and seamlessly adapts to various form factors."
"Unqork is a great choice over other BPMS tools like Pega."
"I rate Unqork's technical support as nine."
"Unqork is stable."
"The features of Unqork that I find most valuable include its performance and security."
"I recommend Unqork for those wanting to start their careers, particularly in sectors like insurance and banking."
 

Cons

"I have difficulty in using several new features. Some of the product's features are tricky to use as well."
"I would like to see more integration between the use of artificial intelligence to speed up the process delivery time."
"Writing custom code still needs to be done via Integration Studio. This might have been added to the IDE."
"The tool's weakness is its focus on the solution only. Other than that, it's pretty easy to use for both technical and non-technical people. However, the tool lags in automation. For instance, we've used Python for scraping and other automated tasks. So, I believe automation is an area where it could improve."
"I would like to see OutSystems improve its integration capabilities, especially with emerging technologies like AI and GPT."
"We had some lagging issues under high data loads, and the solution needed to be customized to improve this."
"The integration points need to be increased. People have also started to adopt this solution for their regular needs. That means it's not only the big enterprises that are adopting this solution. There are also small and medium enterprises that are adopting it. I've read that where you have large deployments, OutSystems starts to crumble a bit. That is the idea that no customer would know at the beginning and would also not like to hit the wall there. When it is on the client, there are a lot of applications already on low-code, and then suddenly you realize that you want to do some big applications, and you face hurdles. This is the general feedback for all such platforms."
"There are many tutorials available but they are very basic and good for learning the platform. To develop an enterprise-grade application, advanced tutorials need to be developed to help IT professionals design/develop high-quality/performance applications."
"The area that needs improvement in Unqork is its performance."
"Occasionally, during server-side execution with multiple loops, we encounter timeout issues, which is something we've had to address with technical support."
"The area that needs improvement in Unqork is its performance."
"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."
"Unqork needs to improve its learning resources because there aren't many available on platforms like YouTube or Google."
"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."
"Unqork is pretty expensive compared to other tools like UiPath. The certification costs around $2000, which is ten times the price of UiPath."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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 subscription is billed on a yearly basis."
"You should contact OutSystems for more details but my opinion is that it is not for small business budgets."
"The tool’s licensing is based on the user’s usage."
"As for licensing costs, I'm not directly involved in that aspect."
"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."
