GeneXus needs to be more consistent in functionality without any errors. Code generation is highly time-consuming for GeneXus, but in some cases, it saves time as well. Some errors will take too long for the solution to get resolved.

GeneXus is a language that is more inclined to back-end than front-end. So, I would say that the front-end part needs improvement. One such area of the solution to be improved is its ability to consume web services, while the other one is to make the solution's integration with other systems quicker. Though the solution's integration is good, it is also a little complicated, but not much. You have an option called "Object" in GeneXus, which can be of the same comportment or the same behavior.

GeneXus needs to be improved from the frontend aspect. When you work with GeneXus and try to develop the frontend part of an application, it's difficult to manage some aspects. 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. GeneXus could be improved to bring more collaboration between developers. They can add more tools to easily collaborate and manage versions. It could be enhanced for source control and team management and collaboration. GeneXus has a suite called GeneXus Server for this purpose, which allows collaboration and source management control, but in comparison to other implementations of the Git source code, it's not easy for developers. If they can add more features related to collaboration and source control, it would be good.

There are issues in integrating it with other solutions, like Control V. In addition, compared to .NET, it is expensive. In a future release, maybe they can share the code because if you don't have a license, you can't see the costs of other things.

The product could be improved by implementing APA and API user call with the web receiver. Working in the booth and in full estate with no frogging would be an improvement for me in the area of finances.

The tool needs to be tuned before being used. You need some experience to get the best out of the tool.

We'd like to see improvements like new screens and new reports using a View Database (which is faster).

It would be helpful if the company would provide additional assisted processing with training, more instances where you can find training.
