"OutSystems is easy to use."
"It is very stable."
"Speed of delivery: We were able to reduce development time by 30%."
"The most important features of this tool are its visual modeling capabilities and drag and drop functionality. You can see what you are coding which makes it easy to understand and maintain. They have also created a big revolution in digital transformation by introducing native mobile app development under the same IDE."
"There is literally a ton of stuff it can do. It's very flexible."
"We can quickly develop an application using the tool."
"There's a lot of stability in QuickBase...I really appreciate the processing part of QuickBase, especially considering how we're able to get information in real time instead of having to wait."
"QuickBase is an excellent product and it is very easy to get support."
"Allows users have anytime/anywhere access."
"I run my own business and the solution allows me to invoice and pay for additional resources. It has helped me in terms of invoicing, quoting, and doing recruitment measures."

"Creating applications in Quickbase will take, literally, a fraction of the time it would take to create them in other database applications (which shall remain unnamed)."
"It is low-code. We are able to go in and create apps quickly. It is very helpful for the size of our company. We're a mid-size company, and at this moment, we don't need anything externally. We don't have to go out and consult a consulting firm to build something from the ground up. So, the ease of that and being able to get development quickly up and running has been good for us."
"It's difficult to do the component version control. I would like them to add more studying materials."
"In OutSystems, cloud management is an area of concern where improvements are 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."
"The asynchronous processing and multithreading tasks for which the current resources of the platform are very generic and not built for the end-user. Any asynchronous jobs have to be constructed with an end-user dashboard to allow inspection of the status of the activities."
"The product's high price is an area of concern, where improvements are required."
"The dashboards in OutSystems could improve. There are a lot of tabs in the service center that can be confusing."
"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."
"There is room for improvement in terms of user-friendliness."
"Unfortunately, there is still no new report formatting available natively, and would still require 3rd party developers to help with that. ."
"They could enhance the ability to link records between tables directly without the need for additional automation to increase space and time."
"I would like to see better options for producing paper reports from Quick Base, rather than viewing things exclusively on screen."
"The dashboard is not organized."
"I would like to see the reporting enhanced because some of them are not easy to generate."
"The improved developer interface in some areas can be difficult to use for complex items."
"The product works constantly to modernize the platform and they have made quite a lot of strides in that. I would like them to add additional features that would help us make API calls."
