I use it for. browser based systems for my own clients It's configured to make it very quick to build feature-rich systems. The only issue I would say is that they develop updates very quickly that are hard to keep up with. I have been using Alpha Anywhere for thirty years. It's stable, set up…
XavierEspinoza - PeerSpot reviewer
Offers a simplified architecture with outstanding integration capabilities
The integration capabilities of GeneXus are highly valuable for our organization. The metadata obtained within the logic of different systems is also vital. Due to the solution, our company team doesn't have to work with multiple languages and integrations can be made with C Sharp. JavaScript can also be used with GeneXus, the tool takes charge of all the rest and has a simple architecture. The solution can be used out of the box without facing any issues and nothing much needs to be done with frameworks. In our case we need to use Python with GeneXus, we use Ironpython to embed python code in C# .

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"It's very flexible."
"The integration capabilities of GeneXus are highly valuable for our organization"
"The most valuable feature is that GeneXus works with several languages. It's possible to develop chatbots and other functionalities."
"In Knowledge Base, being able to model the workflow before developing the screens is great. We first work with the tables or the transactions using GeneXus and then we work on the screens."
"With the solution, I can work a normal day. I can plan my work and any other activities for days ahead."
"With GeneXus, we can create logical representations of transactions in the form of objects."
"I like the testing models, which allow me to create unit or interface tests of my programs. It helps us avoid missed deadlines because we can detect all the errors before deploying the new versions of the solution. And I also like the integration with coding managers like DevOps or Jenkins. It enables us to do versioning."
"I find the implementation process of GeneXus to be easy."
"GeneXus evolves with technology."
 

Cons

"It can be slow to develop, and it's repetitive."
"The tool needs to be tuned before being used. You need some experience to get the best out of the tool."
"It would be helpful to have additional assisted processing with training."
"We would like to see more extensions and more user controls added to the front-end of this solution, in order to help developers manage the website."
"It's expensive for a company."
"The front-end with GeneXus is not as good as the back-end."
"I told them to add something about Angular. They're already working on adding it."
"There are issues in integrating it with other solutions."
"Code generation is highly time-consuming for GeneXus"
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Prices vary, and they will enter into different contracts with different people."
"The pricing is mid-range.We pay only for the subscription."
"People tend to work with GeneXus if it's cheap, but GeneXus does have licensing policies...Moreover, the cost of resourcing work in GeneXus may make it more expensive than other programming languages."
"The tool's price is good."
"I would rate the pricing a seven out of ten"
"I know that its licenses are generally per year, and in the past, the license for GeneXus was around $5,000, but I don't know what's the current price of the GeneXus license."
"I give the cost of the solution a four out of ten."
"The cost of a GeneXus license is extremely high. At the same time, one person using the solution can do the work of three Java or data developers. I think that's why they charge so much. It's too expensive, which is one reason it isn't widely used."
"I don't know about the price because I am an employee, but I hear it's cheaper than other tools."
"This solution offers multi-plan licenses, depending on the size of the company and the features required, as opposed to being priced per user/device."
