OutSystems is very well suited to bespoke workflows that the business is expanding into or even legacy, but then you have the typical barriers to change.

OutSystems is a perfect tool when you are new to development and want to start learning development. They have very nice programs online which you can use to start learning for free. How awesome is that? Besides that, they have a very good and active community online as well as very good documentation.

In our case, we had a fairly big backlog of smaller projects that kept on being ignored because there not being any time and or budget left for them. Thanks to OutSystems we can now finalize these projects within our timelines and budget.

If you have a layer of APIs that you can consume, or you are looking to create such a layer, this is a great platform to let you do something with those API's. If you're looking to use this as a content management system, or to host an information-only website, this product is overkill, unless you are planning to make a content management system, then OutSystems would be great for that.

I think OutSystems is the ideal program to use when you want to work in a lean and agile way (and who doesn't want that?). OutSystems is easy to learn, flexible and highly intuitive. Even without any former IT experience, I was able to build and develop quality features for our new "client following system" within a few months, thanks to OutSystems being low-code.

I think it's appropriate in most places. Really, at this moment, I don't see where OutSystems it's going wrong. Have the scenarios trusted and the controls for one environment more secure. For our part, OutSystems is well suited for the best performance of our users, clients and people that interact with the system.

OutSystems is often promoted as being a system without limits. I admit, that I have had difficulty finding things that this platform cannot do. It is well suited for both big and small organizations with limited IT staff. OutSystems handles integrations well. The platform also accommodates tying in AI elements for both speech and video into your applications. You can save binary objects directly into the database, create complex workflows hiding most of the typical complexity from the citizen developer, easily create multi-lingual aware applications, and connect to external systems via API calls. They also offer on-premise and Saas solutions.

OutSystems is great for delivering mobile apps quickly. From what I've seen it does the same for web applications. It seems that OutSystems may not be the best option for creating a .com website.

OutSystems excels with building web interfaces fast and lends itself to custom integrations written in .Net. Most anything can be brought in given this ability to be extended. One of the drawbacks to the speed of development is that most quality control teams become quickly overwhelmed and may be unable to keep up.

Well suited for offices where users have multiple screens. Not so well suited for those with smaller/lo-res screens. Well suited for Development Teams and companies that are familiar with agile development techniques/procedures. It is a culture shock for groups that do not have this background. A little more help for those in that situation would be great.

It's well suited for CRUD applications that are relatively simple. Forms to submit and store in a database are ideal. It's also great with integrating with APIs and exposing APIs of its own. I could see this being beneficial to be used by someone who may not have a degree in computer science. Training a non-technical professional may be relatively easy.

It is the best Low Code platform. I started developing with OutSystems and then moved to DevOps. In any field, you can get yourself surprise about how to extend the company is in terms of offering tools for the business.
I love the customer service support. So if you think everything ends when you purchase the platform you are wrong you are not alone along with your implementation.
I highly recommend OutSystems if you want to get quick results in a short period of time and most important of all, with quality.
