I believe OutSystems is a very good tool to bring a product quickly to market where the out of the box functionalities are enough. This will let developers with almost no experience to bring a functional tool live.

I believe that the customization for web could be improved making it easier for the developer to develop a more customer-centric experience. At this point, if you're doing an end-user site, for instance, I do not feel [it's] a great improvement over normal programming languages.

It is well suited for all custom application development on web and mobile (anything that you will typically do with .Net & Java). It's not suited for content management solutions.

Outsystems is definitely well suited for a workflow based application and on the contrary for an application demanding a CMS (content management system), not so much. BPM allows developers to deliver applications which are work flow based at great speed.

I think OutSystems is well suited for almost every scenario. For example, a company that sells a product and wants to put it on the internet to initiate online sales but doesn't have a lot of developers, and the ones that do exist are working on a different product. It is an easy-to-use development tool, and a good way to build a website faster.

Quick and uniform development, with a small team. The main problem is the concurrent publishing and the lack of a proper merging tool.

OutSystems is best suited to enterprise customers, where it can solve business problems that have a substantial value associated and would require 3+ developers to solve, as well as ongoing maintenance, evolution, and support.

Scenarios where business is very important and where the final customer wants to be involved in the development. Also very good for fast sprints delivery, where the customer can quickly interact with the application. Errors can be very fast to correct in production, without impacting other applications in the customer's infrastructure.

Well suited to workflow applications, and especially to Enterprises who wish to use it as a platform for many apps.

Not cost effective for single apps.

In my opinion, OutSystems is a major advantage when integrating with legacy systems inside organizations. Using the 4LC approach and micro services, it kind of gets really easy to work with integration. When customization is the word, OutSystems can be kind of a drawback when "time" is the major word of the project.

More appropriate for enterprise web & mobile apps with offline capabilities and also integrating to third-party systems like SAP, Salesforce, Dynamics CRM etc. Applications that have frequent changes from the business are also best suited to be modeled using OutSystems platform.

OutSystems platform is not that well suited for gaming kinds of applications, augmented reality apps, or intensive 3D Graphics kinds of apps.

Terrific as a way to engage with stakeholders looking to replace paper processes with something more digitally oriented. Flexible in regards to system integration tasks orchestrating both legacy and web-based service software models.

Its flexibility may count against it when working on solutions where there is no clear vision defined - very easy to allow scope to creep when you can just make a quick change on the fly.
