Use Cases and Deployment Scope

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.

Pros

Database Connectivity
Integrating API

Cons

I feel, Everything is working fine.

Likelihood to Recommend

During the project phase, Our team faced a challenge that, We have to built an application within a week including gathering requirement, developing and testing. Since, It saves lots of time we were able to do the testing within that week itself.

Development of an application in a short time.
Be aware of market needs and converge there.

More information and content for seniors.
Contents better explained.

OutSystems - The platform that builds the future today

November 12, 2019

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Low-Code technology from OutSystems is the main technology used by my organization. With it we help companies from different industries evolve their digital transformation journey, helping to create solutions that enhance the different usability experiences, both B2B and B2C.

Pros

It can put an application into production in less time than other technologies, ensuring good performance and safety.
It is a rapidly growing technology that has always available support to help its partners and customers no matter what the problem.
It seeks to innovate with each version, and is always looking for new solutions to everyday problems by adapting new trends and introducing them into their development platform.

Cons

I think the key point I would like to see improved would really be the issue of versioning. I think you can try to find a better solution to create versioning.

Likelihood to Recommend

OutSystems is suitable for any web application, reactive or not, or even numerous mobile applications. Solutions can be obtained in a shorter time frame.

I think where I can say that it might be less appropriate, will be in mobile applications where you want very different things, with many effects being intruded. In OutSystems it turns out to be possible, but I think in these cases it is better to develop a native application. But be aware, today with OutSystems, you can develop great, and better, mobile applications.

Pros

Super easy to use
Straightforward
Saves time

Cons

Automated testing
Icons usage - they look quite outdated.

Likelihood to Recommend

OutSystems is well suited when you want to deliver a product fast and don't have a full-blown budget for a very big development team, and when you want to see/release fast results.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

OutSystems is used to do innovations and enable access to the massive outdated unsupported monolith system made in Oracle. 4-5 teams are working on this for over a year now.

Pros

Simply develop fast and deliver apps so you benefit with extreme short time to market.
Maintainablility is even better compared to traditional development tools.
Work on the same module simultaneously without losing code by useful compare and merge options.
Well working staging / development tooling available in the form of Lifetime.
Fast learning curve, especially for experienced developers bu also for complete newbies.

Cons

Come up with a license model for SME. Now only medium and large companies are in focus. The basic license is just too expensive.
Introduce reporting tooling.

Likelihood to Recommend

If vendor software really suites your needs, it can be that you do not need OutSystems, but this is almost never the case. So almost always you can benefit from OS. And of course OS has to be careful not to make the platform too expensive, because then you are only working hard to compete and the great advantages no longer exist.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We are using OutSystems as a platform to develop mobile and web apps in our two industries, Financial Services and PSUR. We use it to develop B2B and B2B products. OutSystems addresses the difficulties our clients experience in getting multi-platform apps developed quickly.

Pros

SAP integration since it's easy to implement methods.
SOAP and REST for the same reasons as SAP

Cons

OutSystems takes too long to deploy solutions across environments.
