Room For Improvement

GeneXus requires better front-end, training, security, integration, collaboration, market awareness, UI, code speed, cost, community, alerts, performance, and language support.
Microsoft Azure App Service requires improved deployment, cost management, UI/UX design, pricing transparency, scalability, integration, support, and documentation.
They should improve the learning curve, enhance documentation, and focus on best practices.
Deploying Logic Apps in a private network environment becomes complicated due to the extensive white testing and configurations needed at the networking layer.
We will redefine our logic, and our development and infrastructure teams will discuss and improve the performance of requests and address time-consuming processes.
 

Setup Cost

GeneXus offers costly multi-plan licenses but justifies the price by replacing multiple developers and including maintenance and upgrades.
Microsoft Azure App Service provides scalable pricing models, with cost-effectiveness varying based on business needs and usage patterns.
Pricing is a concern.
It is an expensive product, primarily due to the licensing fees.
We provide solutions at the optimum minimum cost from start to peak load; the cost is not excessively high but is at a medium level for these solutions.

GeneXus offers rapid deployment, seamless tech integration, error detection, multi-language support, automation, and a user-friendly architecture.
Microsoft Azure App Service excels in scalability, integration, security, and cost-effectiveness, simplifying app development and deployment tasks.
The best features of Microsoft Azure App Service are its capacity for scalability, security, and basic support functionalities.
The integration capabilities of Microsoft Azure App Service have greatly enhanced my ability to handle global web operations and support various functions, which were previously challenging without such integration.

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# .
Ajit Chandra - PeerSpot reviewer
Streamlined development and robust SDK integration with auto and vertical scaling
The main area that requires improvement is the function apps and logic apps, specifically from a VNet integration standpoint. When running in private network configurations, Logic Apps do not fulfill most of the requirements. Deploying Logic Apps in a private network environment becomes complicated due to the extensive white testing and configurations needed at the networking layer.
