Is it not difficult when you want to move out of either of them? I'm asking this as I'm exploring the same..

Senior Director of Engineering in Software2 years ago

I'm coming from the lens of someone who chose Outsystems over Mendix:

- We did our research
- We double-checked Forrester and Gartner reports
- We reached out to both vendors

For the use case that we were addressing (the biggest Retailer in Portugal)... it was a no-brainer:
Outsystems was the winner from a Product and Support standpoint. Even the Sales part was very smooth.

After 8 years of using Outsystems, we continue to be very happy with the choice and are excited to see the product grow with us.

Regarding product implementations of multiple apps using microservices architecture, I don't foresee any issues... you should be completely fine. :)
