Business success platform

That we can focus on the business problems and outcomes without having to worry about the technology that will server the solution. We are able to retrain resources quickly with out have to install and get heavy IDE's running. There's no language to learn and it only takes a basic understanding of logic and web development.

That we sometimes have to develop work around to meet the requirements. The UI doesn't support custom Javascript very well and there are some bugs in the processing flows.

Logistics for our shipping and for our DC based returns, inventory controls, manufacturing floor management.

A Solid, Stable Platform for Low Code Development
What do you like best about the product?
My favorite component of the application is the RESTful API integration and Integration Studio. Being able to customize extensions to legacy systems is a big selling point.
What do you dislike about the product?
XML integration with SOAP could use some more polish. Many XML data sources (sadly) do not provide a WSDL file, especially legacy or government systems. I also wish that OutSystems supported SAML OOTB instead of having to use a separate connector.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
At our city, we are solving problems ranging from asset management, work orders to business licensing. It cuts down on response times and processing times, making life easier for citizens and employees alike.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Start with small applications first before moving to bigger implementations. The platform works best when apps and modules work together instead of trying to build 1 or 2 all encompassing apps.
Don't Worry about the how it works and just focus on the task knowing it will work.
What do you like best about the product?
easy of use and the deployment of the software.
What do you dislike about the product?
Missing the PWA support but with the version that is coming out in Q1 20

curbing customer complaints in regards to existing systems.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Very easy to use and stable
High performing platform for building custom apps
What do you like best about the product?
Development and deploying applications through our multiple environments is quick and easy with their one-click publish mechanism. Outsystems uses the latest UI patterns for web development that handles various screen sizes automatically in their Reactive Web App development flow. The Forge has been adding new verified components and has been able to help extend the platform's capabilities.
What do you dislike about the product?
Lack of test automation tools to perform regression tests. Feature branching is not available.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Allows us to dev and test in a different environment than production. This has allowed us to make changes and have users test it before releasing it. Outsystems has allowed us to extend the capabilities of other SaaS platforms to serve different custom processes.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Create a simple POC app first
