We first work with the tables or the transactions using GeneXus and then we work on the screens."
"The solution provides ease of programming and the speed of delivery of demands."
"The front-end features are the most valuable."
"It is fast in creating systems and connects to the database quickly."
"The most valuable feature is that GeneXus works with several languages. It's possible to develop chatbots and other functionalities."
"This solution works extremely quickly in terms of enabling an application in a production environment."
"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."
"I find the implementation process of GeneXus to be easy."
"Salesforce is cloud-based, so there's no installation involved. You simply log in using the provided organization login. There's no need for installation."
"It's an easy platform for salespeople to quickly and efficiently be able to track an opportunity."

"It is an easy product to use and does great things for our company. It keeps track of all of our sales activity."
"The reporting tools are very solid."
"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."
"It would be better if GeneXus had a wiki. The developer needs some experience to work with the tools. It would be better if they could improve the community. If we have some problem, I open a ticket that takes us to a board, and I have to describe my issue in detail. If the tools have a general community for us to explore with some videos or some articles, I think that that may help the developer."
"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."
"It's expensive for a company."
"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."
"There are issues in integrating it with other solutions."
"I told them to add something about Angular. They're already working on adding it."
"The front-end with GeneXus is not as good as the back-end."
"Sometimes what will happen is we work on it and then we move to a different tab and work on something else. After five minutes, when we come back, it automatically signs out."
"When it switched to lightning, it threw me for a loop. When they changed the look and feel, I had a hard time finding things and doing what I used to do."
"Salesforce introduces a lot of products and sometimes rebrands them, causing confusion. They acquire products like W and retain their names, creating confusion in the market. This confusion isn't related to the product's functionality but rather its positioning and rebranding. For instance, what was once known as Community Cloud is now referred to as Experience Cloud. This can be confusing for business leaders."
"The interface could be more user-friendly and offer more customization."
"Easier process to move to Lightning Components."
"The initial setup is rather complex."
"The marketing automation needs improvement."
"The biggest challenge we had was the cost and the licensing."
