"We used almost all of the features, themes, styling guide, and approach components. They are useful in our applications."

"The drag-and-drop feature is very valuable."
"OutSystems is easy to use."
"The most valuable feature of OutSystems with discipline and the development processes. Instead of each developer doing tasks on their own with their own approach, et cetera, the solution would help bring some organization to the development process."
"Designing a new template could provide a refreshed visual experience for users without significant changes to the underlying functionality."
"For me, the one thing missing is a really good reporting engine."

"I like the OutSystems platform. I am working on integrating it with another platform using APIs, however, it has proven to be difficult. The main issue I am facing is obtaining authorization tokens as well as access and refresh tokens. It may be due to my lack of knowledge of APIs as it is new to me."
"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."
"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."
"I have difficulty in using several new features. Some of the product's features are tricky to use as well."
"The integration Studio could be improved. It needs a tool in which we could develop C# code and then integrate into OutSystems. The application could have a better UI."
"We had some lagging issues under high data loads, and the solution needed to be customized to improve this."
"The latest version of the app generation tools could be more user-friendly."
"Currently, in mobile applications, we don't have push notifications."
