Overall Satisfaction with OutSystems Platform

As an Outsystems partner, we implement solutions built with the Outsystems Platform at our clients. We provide them with the necessary expertise to build applications. Our clients use the platform to solve various different business problems, ranging from business critical applications to pure back office support applications.

Pros

  • Rapid development of enterprise grade web applications
  • All the tools for the full life cycle of an application
  • Very robust and proven technology (built on .NET or Java)

Cons

  • License cost can be high initially
  • Development teams are typically smaller and work at a much faster rate then with classic tools. The TTM was decreased significantly. End users see their requirements go live much faster than before.
  • Implementing the agile methodology is a lot more interesting because there is a lot more to show in demos at the end of a sprint.
  • Releasing versions is much smoother and the effort and cost are much lower.
Use the platform to build web applications, which it does extremely well, and very fast. Don't use it to replace long running batch applications or bulk database operations (read: millions of records). While not impossible, the platform is less suited to handle those kinds of requirements.
