"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.""Once built, web/mobile components can be reused in all new developments. In addition, the OutSystems Forge is very useful. We can exchange components and even already-built applications, reducing costs to build specific solutions.""We have no complaints surrounding both the scalability and stability of this solution.""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.""The solution helps to build mobile and web applications on SOAP and REST. You can integrate it with backend systems by submitting a code.""The most valuable feature of the solution is that it allows users to easily build applications.""It is a stable solution, and the initial setup is straightforward.""OutSystems is a low-code solution. Most features are like drag-and-drop, so it's pretty easy to work. Thus it helps the organization by saving time for developers."

Cons
"The UI, though is pretty friendly and easy to use, can be improved in some aspects.""There is a lag in the delay between API calls.""KiSSFLOW needs to improve its integration.""When there are multiple steps or if there's a disconnect when creating the ticket, it could be a problem for the user.""They should increase their marketplace with existing tools so that connections are directly through connectors instead of API integrations.""In future releases, it would be interesting to have a repository or portal within KiSSFLOW where users can interact with the KiSSFLOW community.""There is room for improvement in terms of stability.""One area where I believe Kissflow can be improved is customization."

More KiSSFLOW Cons →

"The dashboards in OutSystems could improve. There are a lot of tabs in the service center that can be confusing.""The documentation needs to be more robust.""Currently, in mobile applications, we don't have push notifications.""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.""OutSystems could improve by being more like GitHub. It would be more helpful for us for division management and version control for our application.""In my opinion, the support and the pricing could be better.""We have performance issues while fetching bulk data."
