The OutSystems Platform allows for fast development, and has a set of out of the box features required for most of the web applications. A developer can focus more on business logic instead of building database connections, forms, UIs and other [things], because platform provides templates for most of those.

OutSystems Review
Mendix or custom SW development are a couple of examples where you could typically think that OutSystems can meet your requirements. However, the "view and do" approach of this type of tool helps the user to think about the process and not only about the technology. The focus should be on the process, step-by-step level and not only at technical level.

Build for speed.
Totally different products of cource. Sitecore is best suited for full fledged websites with extensive support for analytics. OutSystems for modular business processes with a UI. Hence, there is no overlap. But even for small websites, or even landingpages, I would recommend OutSystems, with a custom made analytics part or a plugin.
Where Mendix looks nice, but mobile application have runtime interpreters, it makes maintaining multiple application and managing them very hard.
Thinkwise is a nice ERP platform, but cannot be compared to OutSystems because they are miles apart. The developer experience is a nightmare and hard to get used to. The single integrated blueprint feels like a monolitic.
Betty Blocks attemps to go for no-code and helps with all kinds of templates. Going for specialisations is a pain and the amount of technical knowledge you need to have f.e. on data types and expressions make it confusion. Application lifecycle management is a pain.

Newbie loving the experience
I was not involved in the decision to choose the product used. I've been in the company for less than one year, and they have used OutSystems for five years more or less. From what I am told by the department, they chose it for ease of use and quickness to learn.

Although I haven't tried much of other low-code platforms, what I know, what I read, what they share with me ... there is currently no better platform than OutSystems in the low code market. And the tendency is for OutSystems to be increasingly disruptive.

OutSystems, easy and fast
OutSystems had many more possibilities and a good user community. The stability, reliability, and performance of the tool were much higher compared to any other RAD platforms.

We had a very comprehensive comparison between Mendix and OutSystems. We had multiple demonstrations of the platform and we had them both build a mockup or dummy application within a day at our office. After those meetings it was a pretty easy pick between the both of them. It won on features, possibilities and price.

OutSystems -- a fairy tale that keeps on going
- Mendix and Betty Blocks
We did two analyses of a POC of a week, comparing OutSystems and Mendix. From our point of view, OutSystems was a better fit for bigger enterprises, and IT can still keep an eye on a possible wide growth of new applications and solutions. After this POC, we also had a look at Betty Blocks, which wasn't mature enough.

OutSystems is great to use - even for a non-software developer
I was not involved in the process to start using OutSystems in our company. But as far as I know this is our first application for low-code development.

Solid platform, helping companies with their digital ambitions
The vision and strategy of OutSystems (developer oriented) fits our company. Also the technology stack and scalabilty options outperform the competition. We have now also learned that the platform keeps developing, releasing new relevant features frequently. Another advantage of OutSystems is the mature partner network in our region. The OutSystems licensing model however was a drawback for us, because it makes business cases more difficult due to recurring costs for application objects used by the solution to be built.

Great for development
Oracle APEX holds its own when it comes to reporting tools and direct database integrations however in all other areas I wouldn't hesitate to recommend OutSystems.

So far so good
When evaluating new platforms, this was the only platform we looked at that was no/low-code.
