Internal System Coordinator at Red CEDIA
Offers a simplified architecture with outstanding integration capabilities
The integration capabilities of GeneXus are highly valuable for our organization. The metadata obtained within the logic of different systems is also vital. Due to the solution, our company team doesn't have to work with multiple languages and integrations can be made with C Sharp. JavaScript can also be used with GeneXus, the tool takes charge of all the rest and has a simple architecture. The solution can be used out of the box without facing any issues and nothing much needs to be done with frameworks. In our case we need to use Python with GeneXus, we use Ironpython to embed python code in C# .

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The integration capabilities of GeneXus are highly valuable for our organization"
"The most valuable feature is that GeneXus works with several languages. It's possible to develop chatbots and other functionalities."
"It is fast in creating systems and connects to the database quickly, so we can invest more time in resolving the problem and focusing on the cause."
"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."
"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."
"After you go through the learning process, this solution works extremely quickly in terms of enabling an application in a production environment."
"The solution provides ease of programming and the speed of delivery of demands."
"With GeneXus, we can create logical representations of transactions in the form of objects."
"We use it a lot for creating workflows to transfer materials between plants, which is a signature part of what we do."
"Took few hours to build workflows with ready-to-use templates, so we had improved productivity."
"It’s easier, more controlled and automatized checks of the budget through this system."
 

Cons

"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."
"It's expensive for a company."
"The solution is very expensive."
"Code generation is highly time-consuming for GeneXus"
"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."
"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."
"Yes, for email notification but it could also be with company network."
"The reports for users. The reports with more details; we have to generate them by the database."
"This solution needs to be more customizable."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"I don't know about the price because I am an employee, but I hear it's cheaper than other tools."
"I give the cost of the solution a four out of ten."
"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 tool's price is good."
"It's expensive. I'd rate it a four out of ten in terms of pricing."
"I would rate the pricing a seven out of ten"
"The price is good."
