If your company has a lot of mobile applications that need to be managed, Outsystems is the best platform for us or our customers to deploy and develop mobile applications. Also, the low code concept is very easy for customers to change and focus on the business logic instead of spending a lot of time on the development lifecycle.

OutSystems is the best platform for the development of products that are subject to frequent changes and that don't fit into to existing landscape. It is also a flexible tool where you can build a new architecture while keeping the former software.

It is not recommended when only small adjustments are needed to existing sites/apps because the 6 to 10 times faster time to build new apps would probably be worse than the adjustment to something that is almost ready.

OutSystems is good for building fast, rapidly changing live business solutions like credit conveyors (front office and underwriting solutions in retail banking and insurance). Because of its visual development nature, the cost of getting new person into the team is close to zero (if you maintain your own knowledge base).

A very technical solution (developed by IT people and purely for IT people) like ESB will not be the strongest area [or use case] of the platform.

For web based development within organizations, OutSystems is great. When you have the resources to start, don't hesitate! It can be used as a front-end tool, but we also have solutions where it is used to combine all kinds of third party software (using rest/soap/services/etc.) into one dashboard. Another, mostly undervalued, part is the business processing engine, which automates task distribution based on data. Just define your flows, triggers, transport of data and task, and your whole process is supported with great software.

When you want to enable your users to move to mobile, no problem. Most of the platform adjusts for the platform and with version 10, it is even easier to generate native apps, although it relies on PhoneGap/Cordova a lot. So lots of native, but the visuals are mainly webpages. But realize, the most used applications on mobile work this way.

When you want to build desktop applications, OutSystems will not facilitate you in building and [execution]. This is not a problem, because most of the software today can be used within the browser with an equal user experience and support.

Until now I have seen that OutSystems is very powerful in developing along with the customer.

Developing front-end applications or back-office applications: in both areas, OutSystems is suitable for rapid application development. Good product ownership is required of course, but that would be no different with any other project. It is not directly a tool which I would think of when implementing a complete ERP system for a large company but it has already proven to be suitable for that as well for some customers currently running their ERP system in OutSystems.

This is a tough one! I am over the moon that OutSystems enabled a novice like me to publish an exercise app in such a short time. So beginners can also feel welcome. In my opinion OutSystems appears to be a truly powerful platform that can be used for any application. I cannot wait to see what they have in store for me in the next courses. I will dare to say that you can probably do just about anything with OutSystems - and here I mean "complicated" stuff. I would absolutely love it if OutSystems can provide some "practical" courses involving Arduino and RaspberryPi employing mobile and web apps. I haven't had time to explore this far yet - does Outsystems incorporate the capability to work with map data (ArcMap).

I have reached the point in my career where I just want to deliver high quality applications without having to wrestle with every new tech out there. Outsystems allows me to focus on what I love which is solving business problems for my clients. My clients love me because they are able to get what they want in days or weeks instead of months and years. My clients are competing on a higher level than the rest of the market. Their competitors are having to play catch-up now.

In short, we are able to offer better products to the market in time to take advantage of the opportunities while they still exist. I have the freedom to dream BIG again.

It's well suited for all scenarios, I guess. I just can't find a situation where it can face troubles that others could avoid. Maybe I just haven't faced enough real situations with this tool, but I have more than 20 years of system analisys and it's definetly the most powerfull tool that I ever seen.

Use the platform to build web applications, which it does extremely well, and very fast. Don't use it to replace long running batch applications or bulk database operations (read: millions of records). While not impossible, the platform is less suited to handle those kinds of requirements.

We have found OutSystems suited to most scenarios. We have written some complex functionality, including product purchasing, single sign-on integrations, bulk data importing and a rules engine to price products. Where a traditional development tool such as C# is required, OutSystems Integration Studio allows you to do integrate the C# code with little effort.
