Find out what your peers are saying about OutSystems, Mendix, Salesforce and others in Mobile Development Platforms."Enables me to use the same web technology to develop cross-platform native apps. The cloud-based one-click app build system is a valuable feature as well."
"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."
"I find the implementation process of GeneXus to be easy."
"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most valuable feature of this solution for our business, as it allows our clients to create new systems based on their outdated databases, across all API's."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."
"The most valuable feature is that GeneXus works with several languages. It's possible to develop chatbots and other functionalities."
"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."
"Scalability is not so good if you have a complex UX."
"It would be awesome if they would work on improving the speed of the app building process."
"It's expensive for a company."
"I told them to add something about Angular. They're already working on adding it."
"GeneXus's user interface has room for improvement."
"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."
"There are issues in integrating it with other solutions."
"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."
"The tool needs to be tuned before being used. You need some experience to get the best out of the tool."
"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."
