"There is a feature to accelerate the development so that business analysts can directly create their user stories and assign the task to the developers."
"The solution is able to support the size and scale required."
"The largest obstacle currently associated with OutSystems is its high cost and limited availability of skilled personnel. Despite being a rapid application development platform, having a highly skilled individual familiar with the platform can be much more beneficial than an inexperienced individual. Because there is a shortage of people with the necessary OutSystems skills, utilizing the platform can become expensive. This makes little sense, considering that a rapid application development platform should be accessible to the average person. However, having a highly skilled individual can greatly increase productivity, making the cost worthwhile."
"The installation is a bit tedious."
"It's difficult to do the component version control. I would like them to add more studying materials."
"The initial setup is a little difficult."
"We had some lagging issues under high data loads, and the solution needed to be customized to improve this."
"The product's high price is an area of concern, where improvements are required."
"There are not enough resources on the market."
"Writing custom code still needs to be done via Integration Studio. This might have been added to the IDE."
"It is scalable, but it also interacts with a lot of other systems. I think they thought that the interface to other systems, legacy systems, was its strength, but when problems do occur, quickly diagnosing those problems has been a challenge."
"I believe that Pega's strategy when it comes to the UX part is not that great currently as compared to the other emerging BPM tools in the market."
"The previous versions had good training documents but the updated versions need to improve the documentation."
"Pega's technical support could be better."
"The workflow automation can be slow, so there is room for improvement there."
"It is not fully compatible with all versions of Internet Explorer, so sometimes, it does not work."
"Pega BPM's documentation should be improved, especially for freshers or new trainees."
"I think there is room for improvement in the low code/ no code environment that they're promoting now. That needs to be aligned a little bit more. I still feel that it is not that friendly for a person who has no experience with Pega to just go in and try to create something."
