We performed a comparison between Apple Xcode, GeneXus, and Mendix based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about OutSystems, Mendix, Salesforce and others in Mobile Development Platforms."It is stable and user-friendly."
"The tool's most valuable features are debugging and code management."
"Xcode has quite a bit of code error checking built-in, which is great. It also goes a step further and suggests fixes."
"The most valuable feature of Apple Xcode is that it is up to date."
"Xcode is pretty smart. It's easy to set up and works perfectly on Android."
"We like the ease of access and navigation that this solution provides."
"It is complete and relevant to the job at hand."
"It is fast in creating systems and connects to the database quickly."
"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."
"This solution works extremely quickly in terms of enabling an application in a production environment."
"With GeneXus, we can create logical representations of transactions in the form of objects."
"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."
"The front-end features are the most valuable."
"The integration module is the most valuable feature of this solution for our business, as it allows our clients to create new systems based on their outdated databases, across all API's."
"I like that it's very compatible with other tools. The most important feature is getting the developer to focus on the project's business case. It's not about focusing on how I can command this or how I can develop a front end, or how I can work with the advantages. The developer should focus on the business case of the project. No need to focus on connecting the database to the server or connecting the server and the front end. The developer can concentrate on the views."
"It is a brilliant solution."
"The features that I have found most valuable with Mendix are its business process management and its minimal low code, both from an interface perspective and from a process perspective."
"You can scale the solution."
"The most valuable features of Mendix are the drag and drop functions, the data entities, domain models, and all the related features."
"The solution is stable."
"It is stable."
"The initial setup is easy."
"What I like best about Mendix is that it's leading the way for low-code, no-code platforms compared to other solutions in the market."
"It consists of multiple components and needs a simplified process. This particular area could be more stable."
"As Apple has introduced more and more features on top of Xcode, it sometimes, but very rarely, hangs."
"There is a drag-and-drop visual system, but as soon as you do something dynamic, then you are unable to use it."
"The size of Apple Xcode could improve. It is too large."
"There should be additional documentation on App Store deployment. In terms of features, they're pretty much on top of where they need to go. I've been happy with its progress so far. As things evolve, they need to evolve to match that need."
"We would like a 'light' version of this solution to be developed, as it currently uses a lot of memory space."
"It is a bit challenging to sign in."
"Documentation is always an issue. In order to develop with GeneXus, there is very little documentation. The documentation is not clear enough in order to develop a great tool."
"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."
"The graphical interface could be improved. I also notice some performance problems on hardware that should be more than adequate. GeneXus uses a lot of RAM and other computer resources."
"It would be better if GeneXus had a wiki. The developer needs some experience to work with the tools. It would be better if they could improve the community. If we have some problem, I open a ticket that takes us to a board, and I have to describe my issue in detail. If the tools have a general community for us to explore with some videos or some articles, I think that that may help the developer."
"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."
"GeneXus is a wonderful tool for the backend. It's the best in the world, but for the frontend, GeneXus needs to improve. There should be easier steps for managing various aspects, such as alerts and messages to show to the end-users."
"There are issues in integrating it with other solutions."
"I would also like to see automatic adjustment to the Java Heap, whenever an application load becomes too much for the application. It could also use hot database replication."
"The platform still has many areas for improvement. If I compare apples to apples, the PWA features of Mendix could be improved, for example, I wouldn't recommend creating a B2C or B2B marketplace or web portals on Mendix, but there's a tendency for people to still do it through the systems provided by my company, particularly implement B2B or B2C marketplace, versus using eBay or Shopify. On the web portal front, Mendix still needs to improve."
"Feature-wise and in terms of technical aspects, Mendix is excellent, but its pricing is steep."
"It is expensive."
"Mendix needs to think about itself offering machine learning and artificial intelligence."
"What is lacking is the support of higher level modeling features, like the modeling you do is relatively low level, yet it is still close to programming. We would like to see a more business-oriented modeling environment, like BPMN."
"We'd like to be able to write in C Sharp to develop code for Mendix."
"I struggle with solutions like Mendix in terms of creating enterprise solutions."
