“We looked at building workflows fully in Salesforce and just integrating with the data that we might have. But the time and cost to build inside of Salesforce and then maintain that was significantly more than to do it in OutSystems.”

Frequently asked questions

We are a Salesforce shop. Why shouldn't we just use Salesforce Lighting to build out the internal applications we need?

Salesforce Lightning is a component framework for Salesforce application development. However, depending on the type of application (for example, if you need to build out a customer portal that integrates to multiple internal systems), you may need a development platform that is more flexible with integrations and can provide a User experience better suited to the business requirements.

We need a custom application to track employee requests. Why shouldn't we use Salesforce?

Depending on the type and complexity of the application, Salesforce might be a good fit. However, if you were planning on an application that would be accessed by all employees, you would need to ensure you have adequate Salesforce licensing for them.

We'd like to modify our existing Salesforce CRM application with some custom fields. Should we use Salesforce Lightning or OutSystems?

Salesforce Lightning is a great tool to modify and customize your existing Salesforce CRM application; however, if the use case included more complex scenarios (like verifying a customer name in Dunn and Bradstreet or simplifying the sales rep experience), then OutSystems might provide a more flexible development environment.
