"There is room for improvement in technical support."
"I like the OutSystems platform. I am working on integrating it with another platform using APIs, however, it has proven to be difficult.

"The latest version of the app generation tools could be more user-friendly."
"While I can't speak to the market impact, as a developer, I've seen significant reductions in development time across different versions of our applications.
