Find out what your peers are saying about OutSystems, Mendix, Salesforce and others in Mobile Development Platforms."The most valuable feature is that GeneXus works with several languages. It's possible to develop chatbots and other functionalities."
"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most valuable feature of this solution for our business, as it allows our clients to create new systems based on their outdated databases, across all API's."
"The front-end features are the most valuable."
"I find the implementation process of GeneXus to be easy."
"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."
"This solution works extremely quickly in terms of enabling an application in a production environment."
"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."
"GeneXus evolves with technology."
"It is a scalable solution...The initial setup of OutSystems is easy."
"The most important features of this tool are its visual modeling capabilities and drag and drop functionality. You can see what you are coding which makes it easy to understand and maintain. They have also created a big revolution in digital transformation by introducing native mobile app development under the same IDE."
"You can go huge - so it is definitely a scalable solution."
"The most valuable feature of OutSystems is the drag and drop and toolchains in the small AI developing environment. Additionally, the documentation is helpful."
"It is much easier to develop applications with the product’s IDE."
"The visual program of OutSystems is one of the major advantages of this solution."
"Speed of delivery: We were able to reduce development time by 30%."
"Integrations with external systems with SOAP and REST are easy to implement off-the-shelf, but a developer can always implement specific libraries for other integrations."
"We haven't had any issues with stability so far."
"The solution can scale."
"The stability has been great."
"It has definitely improved how we function."
"What functions we don't get out of Salesforce, we typically receive from third-party applications that extend the capabilities. We integrate a lot of different products with Salesforce."
"I like the reports and the dashboards. Since I'm a managing partner, I use the reports and dashboards to understand my team's contact management, opportunity management, and account management activities. We use Pardot for marketing campaigns."
"The solution provides a preferred method of backing up data."
"The reporting tools are very solid."
"I told them to add something about Angular. They're already working on adding it."
"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."
"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."
"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's expensive for a company."
"GeneXus's user interface has room for improvement."
"The documentation needs to be more robust."
"I have difficulty in using several new features. Some of the product's features are tricky to use as well."
"We'd like OutSystems to add stronger workflow-based automation similar to what Appian offers. It needs more workflow modeling and RPA features."
"The solution's testing framework needs to be improved, and the workflow should be slightly more mature."
"I like the OutSystems platform. I am working on integrating it with another platform using APIs, however, it has proven to be difficult. The main issue I am facing is obtaining authorization tokens as well as access and refresh tokens. It may be due to my lack of knowledge of APIs as it is new to me."
"Writing custom code still needs to be done via Integration Studio. This might have been added to the IDE."
"OutSystems does not provide any native reporting resources. All reports must be created with other tools or as a webpage."
"There are not enough resources on the market."
"Better flexibility in editing emails created from templates would be great, and being able to add hyperlinks in emails for scheduling meetings would allow us to automate more."
"It may be slow, but that is relative. When compared to Siebel CRM, which was large, clunky, and extremely slow, Salesforce seemed fast to me."
"Areas of improvement can be around Engagement of Customers feature and approvals of transactional records."
"I want more analytics in the platform and the addition of AI-based models, for example, predictive feedback. The Salesforce Platform needs to be more intelligent and intuitive to make it a great solution."
"There needs to be more documentation."
"It would be better if they can add more from the pricing and functionality perspective. It is very expensive. I would be more than happy if they drop the prices. From the licensing perspective, if they can add more functionality, I would be more than happy."
"I think the interface should be enhanced and more user-friendly."
"Reporting could be better. Reporting is Excel-based, and it has sucked since the inception of the company. That's why I was excited about the fact of them bringing MuleSoft into the fold and Tableau."
