Frequently Asked Questions
OutSystems empowers teams to develop innovative cloud applications to deliver new services, win new customers, and capture new markets. Using visual and AI-powered tools, the latest technology, and automation, companies build applications and solutions critical to their business.
Power Apps is included with Microsoft 365, but requires extra licensing to connect to critical data sources (like SAP or Salesforce) or expose data to external customers or partners.
Good question. For simple use cases that were probably managed with a spreadsheet, Power Apps works well and can be developed by an employee of the department. However, if the application needs to talk to a System of Record (like SAP) and will be deployed across the enterprise, Power Apps can become costly and harder to manage.
OutSystems built applications are enterprise-grade and scalable to meet an organization's needs for governance and security and don't require add-on licensing or costs to integrate with your other back-end systems.
While your company is licensed to use Power Apps for employee-created applications, building enterprise-grade applications on OutSystems allows you to easily tap into native solutions like Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3), text sentiment analysis, and fraud detection and include them in your enterprise applications.
