Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"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.""This solution works extremely quickly in terms of enabling an application in a production environment.""GeneXus evolves with technology.""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.""The solution provides ease of programming and the speed of delivery of demands.""With the solution, I can work a normal day. I can plan my work and any other activities for days ahead.""It is fast in creating systems and connects to the database quickly.""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."

More GeneXus Pros →

"The most valuable feature was the visual drag and drop on the components.""You don't need a dedicated IDE to develop. You can work from any browser, which is very convenient. And, with the cloud concept, your code is stored in the cloud, so you can modify it from anywhere, at any time.""The initial setup is easy."

Cons
"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 would be helpful to have additional assisted processing with training.""There are issues in integrating it with other solutions.""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.""GeneXus's user interface has room for improvement.""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 front-end with GeneXus is not as good as the back-end.""It's expensive for a company."

More GeneXus Cons →

"There was an attempt to enable front-end development, it did what it intended to do, but the side effects were too bad.""The feature called "action chains" could use a bit of enhancement.""I would improve the license structure as, for some companies, it may seem a little bit expensive, depending on what they're doing."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "The solution is very expensive."
  • "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."
  • "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."
  • "It's expensive. I'd rate it a four out of ten in terms of pricing."
  • "I give the cost of the solution a four out of ten."
  • "The price is good."
  • "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."
  • More GeneXus Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "Oracle Visual Builder Cloud Service is much too expensive."
  • "It's not expensive when you consider what it provides: low-code/no-code development, faster development time, good quality, and good stability."
