About Span 

Without a doubt, OutSystems is one of the trendsetters in the low-code community. The builder offers impressive capabilities and greatly facilitates the development and production of complex software.

At the same time, OutSystems serves enterprises and SMBs. Luckily, the platform has a free plan with a generous offering that will also be sufficient for SMEs. However, to access the best productivity tools, customization capabilities, and integrations, you must go for a paid package.

Architecture

The platform has a standard-based cloud-native architecture. Cloud-native architecture makes Outsystems applications so powerful that they can compete with the leading systems in performance, scalability, and security. However, using such innovative architecture may require specific knowledge and skills from your low-code developers.

Developer Workflow

OutSystems offers a single integrated environment that covers a full-cycle development process: development, QA, deployment, monitoring, and management. Building a low-code application in platform's single integrated environment covers front-end, back-end, database, and integration needs in the fullest.

Customization

Your developers can extend OutSystems apps with custom C# or Java code. Custom components easily integrate with existing apps and systems through open-source or custom connectors. You can also use artificial intelligence, IoT outputs, reactive web, RPA (Robotic Process Automation), and micro services.

Hosting

The Deploy & Host feature allows developers to deploy their apps to a preferred domain right in the platform. You can connect low-code web apps to the platform’s dev or to the custom domains (available in paid plans).

Use Cases

OutSystems apps can address multiple business needs, including customer applications, internal tools, core systems, process automatization tools, and legacy systems modernization. You can build mobile banking apps, customer loyalty applications, internal portals, field service apps, SAP extensions, customer self-service with chatbots, and many other applications.

Integrations

OutSystems low-code apps have 275+ pre-built connectors to integrate them with SOAP services and REST APIs, ERPs (SAP), and external databases (oracle, MySQL, SQL Server, DB2, PostgreSQL, Aurora PostgreSQL, Azure PostgreSQL). Also, you can integrate connectors with custom code or use Integration Builder to create fully customized connectors for any external database.

Start your low-code app development with PoC

Before investing in full-scale app development, it makes sense to develop a functional and performant PoC. A proof of concept highlights the project's top priorities and requirements. Plus, PoC helps validate your idea early, eliminates financial risks, and strengthens your marketing strategy.

The most significant advantage we've noticed is the enhanced productivity we can achieve with a single developer/resource. This has decreased the time, effort, and costs associated with developing and supporting solutions, allowing us to provide more, high-quality, and innovative solutions to our business partners for the same investment.

dislike

Due to the fact that OutSystems is a full-fledged application development platform, its adoption is not encouraged for those that are not committed to fundamental business change driven by technology. We must be prepared to put in the necessary time and effort to get benefits that go beyond the obvious.

like

Outsystems is easy to use and spares precious time from not having to deal with many distracting and time-consuming tasks, allowing me to focus on the design and business logic, to achieve the best possible product for the clients. It is reliable and supported by an ever-growing community that makes ready-made solutions such as integrations and other components easy to use and adapt

dislike

If I were to pick one would be the current Application Dashboard, it would be great if we can categorize the application we have in the application list.

like

For almost all of our application development, we have standardized on OutSystems. This platform has been shown to be very well suited for both the quick creation of new applications and the administration of current ones.

dislike

OutSystems adoption is not encouraged for those not committed to fundamental business change driven by technology because it is a full-fledged application development platform. For results that go beyond the obvious, we must be willing to invest the necessary time and effort.

We were satisfied with Akveo’s work

We were looking for a Retool agency that could provide no-code or low-code development to help us fulfill a project for one of our clients. The project lasted from October 2020–April 2021. The app enabled our client to eliminate hours of manual labor. In turn, that allowed the client to process more shipments, increasing the overall profitability of their business. Overall, we appreciated how quickly they fixed any bugs we found.
