We primarily use Outsystems as our Low-Code platform. Since the day I started using it, I was wondering that the exposing and consuming the API's and Creating Databases are this easy. It saves hours of time and it increases our productivity by creating the interface with the help of built-in widgets and patterns. I highly recommend Outsystems for the person or the organization who is looking forward to Low-Code.

I am a consultant and have been used platform in three large companies and two small ones. Three of those industries are insurance companies and others are communication companies. We have helped to build main web portals with different kind of transactional modules to allow companies' clients to perform online procedures/transactions/processes by themselves. We have integrated with AD and web services (soap and rest). Development is fast if requirements are well defined but even when those are not, changes are faster than doing them using other programming languages or IDEs.

We use OutSystems for all kinds of internal business processes, where a full fledged externally exposed user interface is not required. Most of them are monitoring related, like invoice or payments overviews. But we also use it as a service layer, where the OutSystems application contains API's. OutSystems provides a way to implement a business solution in a seriously fast way.

The platform enables innovation and speeding up your software delivery. It can integrate with everything, enables you to create great UX from scratch or by accelerators (like Experience Builder). It is scalable, performant and has built-in security. The platform is open to integrate with regarding its services like deployments and analytics, so no need to ditch existing processes/apps that already have deployments in scope (like Jenkins).
AI assisted development can help speed up new developers.
Pretty much everything is documented and easily accessible and OutSystems offers a lot of online training video materials which is well curated and organised.
With OutSystems driving innovation to bring disrupting and enabling cost reductions and increase user engagement by more and better UX applications.

It is being used by our department to build applications that the entire organization uses to cover our retail stores in sales. It's also used for the life of our product since it is designed to production; for SAP integration, to book flights, serve the POS, and some other utilities that cover company needs.

OutSystems is actually being used across the whole organization. From the very start, we wanted to implement a web application that could support all business needs in our company from the very start (consultation, quotation, etc, all the way to worker reported hours and validation). In the end, we wanted our whole business to go through this application.

We use OutSystems as an addition to our SAP systems. We especially do web and app development in OutSystems with a connection to our SAP environment. The connection is both ways. The developments we've done have met their goals, and we were able to speed up the arrival and departure of the barge handling (inland waterway) process by about 40%.
The event manager we built in OutSystems was a big success, as we could extend the SAP functionality but also improved the process tremendously.
On other terminals, SAP is not used, but Navision. Our goal is to have our external web sides integrated with SAP in Navision. At this moment it's a big challenge.

OutSystems is being used by Meivcore's IT department to develop an industry solution to modernize and make Meivcore's data and processes digital. Meivcore's core business is industrial maintenance and everything was done in paper. This had a lot of impact on the productivity in the company because they wasted a lot of time filling forms and checking data on paper. With the solution that we developed, we managed to make the workload a lot easier and helped with productivity and general happiness with our employees.
