"The technical support is perfect."
"The flow editor is the most valuable feature. It is simple and intuitive, and it can guide you step-by-step."
"I really like the one-click publish feature in OutSystems. In other development tools/languages, it's not as easy. I also like how easily I can manage all my projects in one place."
"One thing I like about OutSystems is that there's no lock-in. You can keep running your applications because it's on .NET and hosted centrally. That's one of the advantages I see there in terms of not having an IT strategy that has a dependency on a particular platform."
"The architecture of OutSystems is quite simple, and the features are similar to Mendix's. OutSystems has connectors for different enterprise apps and solid reporting capabilities. You can also integrate with any content management platform like SharePoint or Adobe Enterprise Manager, or something like that. You can also create and integrate workflows."
"The solution helps to build mobile and web applications on SOAP and REST. You can integrate it with backend systems by submitting a code."
"Refactoring with TrueChange is very simple."
"It is much easier to develop applications with the product’s IDE."
"The product's user interface is one of its shortcomings since it is outdated, making it an area for improvement."
"The client version of this solution could be faster and be made simpler for non-IT users. You will need to have some knowledge of Notes to correctly install this solution."
"HCL Domino needs to be more user-friendly."
"HCL Domino could have a better interface."
"Designing a new template could provide a refreshed visual experience for users without significant changes to the underlying functionality."
"The solution could improve Kubernetes or Dockers migration to new environments in the cloud."
"From the Domino side, it should support DKIM and DMARC."
"They should provide its integration with other AI applications."
"It needs improvement in the AI capability."
"Since we first started using OutSystems, they switched their language support from Java and .NET to .NET only, which was a bit of a surprise. Their language support could be better in this sense, although on our resource side it is now a bit more flexible."
"We had some lagging issues under high data loads, and the solution needed to be customized to improve this."
"One of the biggest areas for improvement is that every time an existing data element is modified, it creates a new data element. It doesn't really modify that particular data element. So, a user has to follow an extra step of removing the existing data element and bringing in the new and modified data element that is being added, which sort of goes into negative productivity."
"The product's high price is an area of concern, where improvements are required."
"The technical features are good, but the actual commercialization is out of reach."
"The asynchronous processing and multithreading tasks for which the current resources of the platform are very generic and not built for the end-user. Any asynchronous jobs have to be constructed with an end-user dashboard to allow inspection of the status of the activities."
"I have difficulty in using several new features. Some of the product's features are tricky to use as well."
