Outsystems - Freshers perspective
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.

I highly recommend Outsystems for the person or the organization who is looking forward to Low-Code.

Outsystems review
Pros
- Database integrations: These integrations allows users to speed up development processes by providing ready to use methods.
- Error handling: Error handling is excellent. It is showing errors in real time while you are programming. Syntax errors are avoided and changes in variable names, input parameters and other definitions are automatically performed on site where it is referenced.
- Fast deployment: Deployments between development and test, and test to production are fast and avoid many of the possible deployment errors caused by human intervention.
Cons
- OutsySystems needs to improve in web services. Support SOAP 1.2 and also do a better handling of date types when they are used as input parameters in web services.
- OutSystems needs to handle better integration with databases that do not have tables with a single field primary key defined. Some tables have a primary key composed of two or three fields and those are not well managed by OutSystems. I am specifically talking about the fact that in those cases inserts, updates and other database actions are not created.
- Content management. Nowadays there is no available and reliable content management to develop web sites with CMS capabilities.
Most Important Features
- Fast form creations
- Integrations with SQL Databases
- SOAP and REST Services integrations
- Multiplatform Mobile Applications
Return on Investment
- Development times are reduced almost 5 times.
- Allow us to create 3 new mobile applications from scratch fast and better that were not possible before using different multiplatform application generators.
- The applications can be easily maintain for different people reducing the knowledge transfer required in other programming languages
