We have used Umbraco for a few different business applications, and not just for websites.
We did face a few problems:
Using Umbraco 6.2, at some point there were a lot of nodes and things started getting really slow, so we had to add these items in a separate table in the database and not as a node.
One of our clients used Umbraco 6 to host their website and base of clients. They registered each client as a member (there were over 200k members), and Umbraco does not perform well with it.
You can definitely use Umbraco for your business solutions, but you might considering using other structure together with umbraco (database tables, JSON, etc), it all depends on your data structure.
"Using Umbraco content items for volatile data This is one of the
worst Umbraco anti-patterns and could very well cause your site to
perform ultra poorly.
Umbraco's content should not be used for volatile data, Umbraco's APIs
and the way Umbraco's data is persisted was never designed for this.
If you need to store/write/track data that changes a lot you should
use a custom database table or another service but not Umbraco content
nodes.
Some examples of what not to do are:
Hit counters to track the number of times your page has been viewed -
use something like Google Analytics for this or a custom database
table Creating new nodes for form submissions - this should be stored
in a custom database table Importing lots of data into Umbraco content
nodes that could easily just be stored in a custom database table
(i.e. it's not going to be edited). In some cases this might be ok but
many times we've seen bulk imports occur on a hourly/daily schedule
which is generally unecessary."
Hi Francielle thanks for responding .
I had read in your post you talked about the older version of umbraco have you used the new version and tried the new list view?
Do recomend umbraco if i am building my sections and store my data in my table ?
thanks for your time .
No, I haven't used ListView to display data from our database, just for nodes inside of the CMS.
When we do that, we usually create a regular html page and add a tab inside Umbraco to access it.

Hi Ali
Yes, Umbraco can handle big data, Umbraco limits are pretty far. How many entities do you want to store in Umbraco?
actually until now i did not analysis the software i just got the ideas from the customer. have you ever done something similar to what i am about to do and how is is works ?
Hi Ali,
I wrote a post about this a few days ago: http://www.codehb.com/content-hub/umbraco-as-a-backend-system/

Here's a nice article for you to check if Umbraco is made for what you want: https://our.umbraco.org/documentation/reference/Common-Pitfalls/ This bit is important:
