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

"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 tool needs to improve the efficiency of its widgets."
"It's difficult to do the component version control. I would like them to add more studying materials."
"I have difficulty in using several new features. Some of the product's features are tricky to use as well."
"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 solution is costly."
"The new version could be improved."
