Overall Satisfaction with OutSystems

OutSystems is used in creating a next-generation energy market SaaS solution. It is used in two development teams.
  • Learning curve for actual process implementation is remarkably low.
  • Integration to other systems is smooth ( e.g. developing a UI that uses Tableau works really well).
  • It's particularly easy to extend OutSystems with your own .Net solutions.
  • Licensing model does not allow an easy way to scale or rebuild your software stack in a public cloud environment.
  • OutSystems' scalability model leaves a question on how OutSystems behaves under a heavily varying workload.
  • OutSystems version control lacks support of branches, version comments, and version difference reviewing.
  • Fast modeling and implementation time
  • Difficult automation and scaling
  • Needs cloud-specific components in front of and between platform services
On AWS cloud all the examples work better from the platform point of view than OutSystems.
OutSystems fits well if the solution is hosted by OutSystems' own cloud platform or then hosted on-premises. Currently, it does not fit into a public cloud where you'd run it by yourself.
