5. Evaluating OutSystems

The most straightforward way to assess OutSystems is by registering for a personal environment and diving into app creation.

Our personal environment, a free edition of the platform, enables users to design, develop, deploy, and manage applications in the cloud. Securely hosted in an isolated, yet shared multi-tenant environment, it's perfectly tailored for small deployments.

For companies with more extensive needs—multiple developers, advanced staging scenarios, and multiple servers—a dedicated 30-day subscription trial is available upon request. This trial, if approved, allows organizations to evaluate if OutSystems aligns with their requirements.

OutSystems also acts as a trusted advisor for organizations seeking a proof of concept. This tailored approach helps businesses assess how OutSystems fits into their specific business cases and technical landscapes. A proof of concept enables users to swiftly and comprehensively validate OutSystems, testing their own look-and-feel, UI, and integration capabilities with in-house systems like SAP. This hands-on exploration allows organizations to garner buy-in from key business stakeholders efficiently.
