"It is a scalable solution...The initial setup of OutSystems is easy."
"It is a stable solution."
"Their out-of-the-box UI is quite good."
"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."
"Integrations with external systems with SOAP and REST are easy to implement off-the-shelf, but a developer can always implement specific libraries for other integrations."

"The solution is a bit expensive."
"Areas of improvement can be around Engagement of Customers feature and approvals of transactional records."
