Overall Satisfaction with OutSystems

We use OutSystems as part of a drive towards digital transformation, replacing existing (mostly paper or spreadsheet-based) processes with ones that provide better governance and visibility to those process stakeholders. We are targeting operational processes first, and then moving into other areas, such as system integration tasks. OutSystems is very good at handling the orchestration of web service APIs. We intend to simplify our main sales to an invoicing process.
  • Engaging prototyping experience with stakeholders.
  • 1-Click Publish and TrueChange makes it easy to refactor a solution without making simple errors.
  • Addictive solution engineering - if every problem looks like a nail, then it's a pretty good hammer!
  • Simple handling of REST and SOAP web services.
  • Requires good internet connectivity.
  • Sometimes a little slow to respond.
  • Intelligent typing can sometimes be a little too smart in a complex solution.
  • Increased enthusiasm towards using IT to transform business processes
  • Expected increase in employee's capacity by removing irrelevant process steps
  • Improved integration between legacy and cloud-based software investments
OutSystems provided a solid feature set, providing the integration potential that we were looking for, with simplicity in implementation which will allow us to workshop a solution as we go. They also provide a commercially attractive on-ramp for smaller companies which allow for an initial modest investment, with the opportunity to grow as your ambitions do.
Terrific as a way to engage with stakeholders looking to replace paper processes with something more digitally oriented. Flexible in regards to system integration tasks orchestrating both legacy and web-based service software models.

Its flexibility may count against it when working on solutions where there is no clear vision defined - very easy to allow scope to creep when you can just make a quick change on the fly.
