Saves a lot of time in coding and it's very efficient and awesome
the thing I dislike the most it's the problems with publishing, it tends to get very slow most of the times
I work in Força Aérea Portuguesa and the company is trying to improve and modernize the technical software that we use. Outsystems is being implemented and facilitates the use for the consumers
Easy to use, with complex components already built in. The capacity of using javascript to extend functionalities places this platform far ahead of the competition.
Typical programmers tend to dislike visual programming at first. It's only after working for few weeks on it that people will realize how pre-built components and connectors can speed up delivery.
With Oustystems we can help organizations develop skills to become actors in their solutions. As a result, our customers can have better control, which overall leads better success.
Easy to start for beginner. low-code is OK. Make new experience for new user Thank you.
Take time to learn some function. I just starting to use and test this application. N/A Thank you.
UX experiences. User Interface Low code Development AI Easy to developmen
It creates a platform for people in the actual business (so not IT) to develop apps specially tailored to their needs.
The high paywall in the licensing format. The upfront costs are pretty high.
Would like to quickly develop small applications tailored to the business' day to day needs.
Ability to create rapid prototype applications quickly and with great UI's.
Any customization of UI templates or widgets requires knowledge of JavaScript & CSS.
Development of internal applications for new use cases. Benefits are we can create applications faster than before.
* Drag and drop UI * Possibility to write own code (c#) * Easy setup * PaaS, hybrid and self hosted support
* Would like even more UI themes * No support for demand scaling for PaaS (fixed price)
Currently using it to develop a page for citizens in our district. We haven't gone live with the solution yet.
the interface is good, all the requirements requested for the creation of functionalities are understood
there are many properties required in the components, they slow down the process
Facilities in creating visual interfaces, and linking them to code functionalities
outsystem is the mobile development platform which has comprehensive Low code concept which is very different from traditional development platform. it comes with high level API management & workflow engine.
System integrator and or customer needs to know their proprietary language and the pricing is not very feasible. it doesn't come with any enterprise integration apdotor and customer or SI needs to build their own instead.
system integration & mobile developement
Great platform, easy to learn and use. We've been able to produce almost 100 in-house applications with very few team members.
Price, a 500% increase from one year to the next with less than 30 days notice before renewal. Was told they would just walk away from a legal contract, does not give a customer any level of comfort.
With the ability to rapidly develop applications and intergrate them with other non-outsystems applications, it has proven to be a very benificial tool.
- Quick start with common templates. - Hides many lower technical configuration details.
- No code branches. - Data entity refactoring. - Deployment process (tricks). - Cannot control DB on cloud environments. - Customization.
It helps to launch business solutions quickly for the first stage but becomes complex when customizations are required as time goes on.
The only thing I can say that is good about OutSystems is their community forum. And the skill base is very minimal. you will struggle to find developers who can help you with OutSystems. Never mind finding a good developer. Finding any developer you will struggle. (Depending on what country you situated in)
I really don't like OutSystems at all. Low code is a joke. Low code is a marketing term to attract non technical people. As a full time developer who has worked extensively with OutSystems in an enterprise environment I can tell you now that Low Code platforms are are going to make your development time longer when you have to build complex applications or any advanced systems. Out of the box OutSystems has features that are broken. Such as their carousel or button groups or the below error that randomly pops up when it feels like it. With no information to debug the problem. Sometimes you will get a popup error in the middle of development and it will say error with no reason for the error. And all your unpublished work gets deleted even if you select their recover module button, your work state is not recovered. Apart from that they charge an arm and a leg for their software when something like Flutter and Dart is Free. Low code is for the lazy people who think they can get away with cheap or easy development. It will cost you more in the end and it will take you longer to build your systems when they start to get advanced. I highly highly recommend you stay away from any low code platforms. But if you don't want to listen please by all means use it, you will regret it down the line. It may seem cool in the beginning until you have things that are not working and you a have to wait for the product owners to get back to you. What happens when your systems go down. They will remain down until someone get's back to you. And even feedback is slow and what happens if you happen to have 90,000 plus customers trying to use your software. Low code is dangerous. So you put your company risk.
I am building application capture forms for a company with thousands of clients. 90,000 upwards I believe. For confidentiality purposes I'd rather not mention the companies name as it may not exactly be legal for me to mention who they are.
