What differentiates OutSystems from other similar products?

This is the best low code alternative.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

The ability to quickly create applications in a tenth of the time when compared with the use of other development tools.

What do you dislike most about this product?

The documentation of the product is all about answering the "what" of the functionality and very little about the "how. Is almost as if they purposely choose not to create extensive tutorials and instead depend on a few tutorial videos. The personnel of the company tell is always saying how our applications don't meet their standards and then they fail to provide good example of end to end solutions. Often their own automated scaffolding fails to follow their best practices..

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Don't be afraid of using Outsystems. With this tool a user can create extremely complicated applications in a fraction of the time that it would take to build a similar application in a tool like Visual Studio.

Pros

Helps Innovate
Continually Improving Product
