OutSystems ranked highest in the following Use Cases in the 2023 Gartner Critical Capabilities for Enterprise Low-Code Application Platforms Report:

Composing Applications for B2E Departmental and Enterprise Apps: This involves layering web and mobile UX on top of external data and business services. Integrations and components are stored in the LCAP catalog for reuse across teams by platform curators.
Multiexperience Applications: These include web, mobile, and chat applications B2E and B2C user experiences and customer journeys. They are often built on top of existing application services, SaaS, and new services.
Business Digitization, Prototyping and Innovation: These sophisticated, full-stack applications integrate with documents, cases, and other data to automate processes and defer processes to staff.
