Outsystems review
- Database integrations: These integrations allows users to speed up development processes by providing ready to use methods.
- Error handling: Error handling is excellent. It is showing errors in real time while you are programming. Syntax errors are avoided and changes in variable names, input parameters and other definitions are automatically performed on site where it is referenced.
- Fast deployment: Deployments between development and test, and test to production are fast and avoid many of the possible deployment errors caused by human intervention.
- OutsySystems needs to improve in web services. Support SOAP 1.2 and also do a better handling of date types when they are used as input parameters in web services.
- OutSystems needs to handle better integration with databases that do not have tables with a single field primary key defined. Some tables have a primary key composed of two or three fields and those are not well managed by OutSystems. I am specifically talking about the fact that in those cases inserts, updates and other database actions are not created.
- Content management. Nowadays there is no available and reliable content management to develop web sites with CMS capabilities.

Great for development

OutSystems Review
- Fast results.
- Easy to learn, even for non-coding IT staff.
- The thing that is currently missing, in my opinion, is wireframe and mock-up capabilities.
So far so good
- Simple - The product itself is simple to use with its low-code drag and drop interface.
- Extensible - I hate systems that don't allow me to extend them as and when I need to. OutSystems lets me extend in whatever way I want to, which could be support for a foreign database, to custom C# to integrate something completely different.
- Supported - The system is supported really, really well. there is a forum that is incredibly active, both the partners and OutSystems are responsive.
- "The OutSystems way" - As a web designer and developer, I often feel that some of the components, and the way that some "web blocks" work could be improved.
