"It has superb ease of use and no code needed to create and build apps and databases.""There's a lot of stability in QuickBase...I really appreciate the processing part of QuickBase, especially considering how we're able to get information in real time instead of having to wait.""It has helped streamline and simply track status and collection of data from suppliers and other internal departments.""The need for little to no code knowledge has been huge.""QuickBase is an excellent product and it is very easy to get support.""Considering factors like functionality and price, the product proves to be worth the investment.""We have made good use of the ability in QuickBase to add multiple apps for various departments and purposes, while some apps are shared.""It is low-code. We are able to go in and create apps quickly. It is very helpful for the size of our company. We're a mid-size company, and at this moment, we don't need anything externally. We don't have to go out and consult a consulting firm to build something from the ground up. So, the ease of that and being able to get development quickly up and running has been good for us."

Cons
"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.""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 would be helpful to have additional assisted processing with training.""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.""GeneXus's user interface has room for improvement.""It's expensive for a company.""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."

More GeneXus Cons →

"This rule: The Maximum is 60 rules. We need to provide more in order to improve.​""I would like to see the reporting enhanced because some of them are not easy to generate.""Its UI needs improvement. They should improve it and make it a little bit more modern. We should also be able to have more real-time information that connects with other software platforms. It has an open API, but it doesn't always connect with some of the other platforms that we would like to utilize. These are probably two of the biggest things for us, and hopefully, they will keep ensuring that in the future, they continually build QuickBase to be a little bit more efficient in that regard.""The product works constantly to modernize the platform and they have made quite a lot of strides in that. I would like them to add additional features that would help us make API calls.""It would be beneficial for the QuickBase team to focus on improving the integration of cloud-based storage platforms within their product. In use cases like ours, where QuickBase serves as a centralized source of truth for construction projects, having seamless integration with platforms like Dropbox or OneDrive would greatly enhance the product's capabilities.""Unfortunately, there is still no new report formatting available natively, and would still require 3rd party developers to help with that. .""Access to more standard default layouts and sample builds would be useful, and access to more training on use and flexibility.""The improved developer interface in some areas can be difficult to use for complex items."

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."

  • "You have to negotiate the price because it varies based on the number of users you have, as well as how much cloud storage space you need."
  • "It is probably about 300 per license per person. There is just the licensing cost. There are no additional costs."
