"OutSystems' best feature is that you can build tests with the flow, so even the tests are made in the PDD framework in a low-code way."
"The scratch coding is useful. The solution is easy to understand."
"The most valuable feature of OutSystems is the drag and drop and toolchains in the small AI developing environment. Additionally, the documentation is helpful."

"The most valuable feature is ease of use."

"I like it because of the fact that it lets me know what I'm working on and what I've recently worked on. It also helps me and allows me to do tracking. If I want to go out and find out how many times I've touched customers, I can find that information out. It tracks such information, and we use it. If we send any type of promotions out, it tracks who gets those promotions and how they've responded to those promotions."
"One can do almost everything using Salesforce's OOTB functionality without much investment."
"OutSystems does not provide any native reporting resources. All reports must be created with other tools or as a webpage."
"The latest version of the app generation tools could be more user-friendly."
"There is room for improvement in technical support."
"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."
"I have difficulty in using several new features. Some of the product's features are tricky to use as well."
"In OutSystems, cloud management is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"In my opinion, the support and the pricing could be better."
"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."
"It would be better if they can add more from the pricing and functionality perspective. It is very expensive. I would be more than happy if they drop the prices. From the licensing perspective, if they can add more functionality, I would be more than happy."
"An improved UX may be helpful in the solution's next release."
"There needs to be more documentation."
"Pricing is the biggest factor. The cost right now is too high and I've had a lot of clients leave."
"This platform is indeed on the expensive side."
"Instead of creating our own template, if we had some nice templates that we could pick up - if there were some Microsoft Word templates or Microsoft Excel templates in a repository in Salesforce, that would be great."
"We have a lot of strategic accounts and large accounts that are tied with all the growth and acquisitions across North America, being able to tag parent-child accounts in an easier fashion would be better. This is the biggest pain point is associating parent to child and being able to align and manage it better. Overall a better parent-child relationship between accounts would be a benefit."
"Salesforce's mobile app could be better. Also, it could integrate more seamlessly with Gmail."
