Find out in this report how the two Low-Code Development Platforms solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The solution provides ease of programming and the speed of delivery of demands."
"The front-end features are the most valuable."
"I find the implementation process of GeneXus to be easy."
"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."
"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 fast in creating systems and connects to the database quickly."
"This solution works extremely quickly in terms of enabling an application in a production environment."
"With the solution, I can work a normal day. I can plan my work and any other activities for days ahead."
"We get feedback on a real-time basis, which is actually very useful for us."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the Model-driven or Canvas application-making platforms. The power of the two gives us exactly what we are looking for."
"Of all of the solutions I evaluated, it was the easiest to use and deploy."
"When I am developing any user UI, it gives me complete flexibility. I can manage in any way I want."
"The features I find the most valuable are the 365 and Microsoft applications integrations and the automation."
"The most valuable feature is that PowerApps can be used by most business users. It is not only for programmers."
"The flows are good because they can be used in a variety of situations."
"It is easy to design automation processes."
"The front-end with GeneXus is not as good as the back-end."
"It would be helpful to have additional assisted processing with training."
"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."
"The tool needs to be tuned before being used. You need some experience to get the best out of the tool."
"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."
"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."
"I told them to add something about Angular. They're already working on adding it."
"Can be improved to cater to complex developments."
"It's sometimes hard to import groups of options. At this point, I need to enter those manually and it slows the process down."
"Microsoft PowerApps could improve the speed of Power Automate, it is not very fast."
"One of the major problems with it is what PowerApps calls the delegation warning. Regardless of what platform, data source, et cetera, that you're using, you can't retrieve more than 2000 records."
"Improvements to the capturing of geographic locations and integration with maps would raise my score of the product from seven point five to its maximum of ten."
"We use GoCanvas to make forms. It's easier to make forms in GoCanvas, but Power Apps is cheaper because it is bundled with our Office 365 license. if I want to create a form in Power Apps, I need some knowledge, but GoCanvas is intuitive."
"You can't add too many filters onto anything you build, otherwise, it will be very slow and it will affect your performance."
"Microsoft should combine both the web and the mobile environment with all of the layers of development into one package."
